kinetics of single cell protein production from natural gas by a microorganism (a methylomonas sp.) was studied experimentally and by modeling at equal amount of air and natural gas. kinetic models of monod, moser, teissier, aiba, andrews, and noack were used for illustrating cell growth. methane and oxygen were considered as limited substrates with concentration in the range 2-10 mg/lit. death...

During the past few years, modeling in agriculture has attracted considerable attention. New modeling methods including neural networks are employed in various industries, and it is necessary that their use in agriculture be also considered. This research addressed the trend of energy use in broiler farms in Alborz Province and sought to model the trend of energy consumption and production in t...

A composition stream from reservoir to the market has been obtained as a result of upstream, midstream and downstream retrograde gas-condensate models integration. Applications are composition, Peng-Robinson EOS has been chosen as a fluid package. Different production scenarios were observed to define development strategy for rich gas condensate production. VGD and C/V gas drive mechanisms have...

Modeling and simulation of unconventional reservoirs are much more complicated than the conventional reservoir modeling, because of their complex flow characteristics. Mechanisms, which control the flow in the reservoir, are still under the investigation of researchers. However, it is important to investigate applications of mechanisms which are present to our knowledge. This paper presents the...

One of the issues concerning the replacement of natural gas by green gas is the seasonal pattern of the gas demand. When constant production is assumed, this may limit the injected quantity of green gas into a gas grid to the level of the minimum gas demand in summer. A procedure was proposed to increase the gas demand coverage in a geographical region, i.e., the extent to which natural gas dem...

the mathematical modeling of fracture networks is critical for the exploration and development ofnatural resources. fractures can help the production of petroleum, water, and geothermal energy. theyalso greatly influence the drainage and production of methane gas from coal beds. orientation andspatial distribution of fractures in rocks are important factors in controlling fluid flow. the object...

withdrawal of oil and gas from reservoirs causes a decrease in pore pressure and an increase in effective stress which results to a reservoir compaction. reservoir compaction will result in surface subsidence through the elastic response of the subsurface. usually in order to determine the subsidence above a hydrocarbon field, the reservoir compaction must be first calculated and then the effec...

residual gas saturation is one of the most important parameter in determining recovery factor of water-drive gas reservoir. visual observation of processes occurring at the pore level in micromodels can give an insight to fluid displacements at the larger scale and also help the interpretation of production performance at reservoir scale. in this study experimental tests in a glass micromodel w...
