constructing phase diagram and its subsequent quality lines for lean gas condensate reservoirs is always crucial and challenging topic in reservoir fluid studies. due to small amounts of liquid drop-outs in lean gas condensates at reservoir conditions, full experimental tracking of phase diagram and its relevant quality lines is almost impossible for lean gas condensates.on the other hand, eos ...

Sulfonated polyether ether ketone (SPEEK) is categorized in a nonfluorinated aromatic hydrocarbon proton exchange membrane (PEM) group and considered as a suitable substitute for common per-fluorinated membranes, such as Nafion, due to wider operating temperature, less feed gas crossover, and lower cost. Since modeling results in a better understanding of a phenomenon, in this study a dynamic o...

This paper presents the fabrication and characterization of a flexible gas sensor based on TiO2 nanotubes membrane, onto which array interdigitated gold electrodes in one side and a common heater in the backside were obtained using conventional microfabrication techniques. This was used to detect hydrogen sulphide within a concentration range of 6–38 ppm. The response to low concentrations of H...

obtaining samples that represent original fluid of reservoirs optimizes reservoirs management. the optimized management increases recovery. also, selecting and performing proper improved oil recovery (ior) or enhance oil recovery (eor) programs depend on collecting representative samples. achieving accurate compositions of original in-situ fluid prevents overdesigning surface facilities. repres...

The field of membrane filtration is currently enjoying a great deal of interest and its field of application is expanding rapidly. Since membrane separations are possible at moderate process conditions the application of membrane filtration in food industry and biotechnology is growing very fast [ 11. Furthermore, the possibility to perform separations at low energy costs makes membrane filtrat...

Humidification process is one of the applications of membrane contactor in which partial pressure of a vapor in the gas stream increases. In this study, two different polyethersulfone and polyetherimide hollow fiber membranes were fabricated and characterized by various test methods and their performance in humidification process under different operating conditions was investigated. The PES me...

Reverse osmosis (RO) is a water purifcation technology that uses a semipermeable membrane to remove ions, molecules, and larger particles for the production of drinking water. The frst RO membrane for seawater desalination, wastewater treatment and other applications were made of cellulose acetate. But, the polyamide thin-flm composite membrane that can tolerate wide pH...

carbon membrane can be produced using a wide variety of polymer precursor materials via heat treatment process. a general concept route of precursor selection-preparation-modification-performance analysis platform for the carbon membrane has been proposed to promote the development of carbon membrane material for a wide range of application. the current review considers the recent progress of c...

Absorption of CO2 from a gas mixture containing CO2 and nitrogen by water-based CNT nanofluids in gas–liquid hollow fiber membrane contactor was modeled and solved using COMSOL Multiphysics 5.4. The model assumed partial wetting of the membrane, along with diffusion in the axial and radial directions. In addition, Brownian motion and grazing effects were both considered in the model. The main c...
