a gas permeation model (coupling model) has been developed which has the flexibility to be used for different membrane module configurations. the aim of this work is to predict the performance of a single stage gas separation process using membranes and provide a comprehensive description of process parameters like flow rates, composition, stage cut and stream pressure. the significant feature ...

this research was conducted to determine the effect of gamma ray (gr) (100 and 150 kgy), sodium hydroxide (50 g/kg dm) and calcium oxide (160 g/kg dm) on gas production parameters and in vitro digestibility of soybean straw. all treatments, except for the gamma ray (100 and 150 kgy) did not have gas production up to 4 hours after incubation and there was a lag time. from 8 to 96 hours of incuba...

The main focus of this study is improvement of the steam-methane reforming (SMR) process by in-situ CO2 removal to produce high hydrogen content synthesis gas. Sorption-enhanced (SE) concept is applied to improve process performance. In the proposed structure, the solid phase CO2 adsorbents and pre-reformed gas stream are introduced to a gas-flowing solids-fixed bed reactor (GFSFBR). One dimens...

to study the potential of production of biogas, utilizing the wastes of rose distillation process, the wastes were mixed with cow manure at manure proportions of 5, 10, 15 and 20% and in temperatures at two levels of 35 and 45 °c. the treatments were carried out using a 2×4 factorial design (?=0.05). the volumes of produced gas and generated methane were recorded daily and modeled as functions ...

this study was conducted to determine in vitro crude protein degradation (ivdp) parameters and effective crude protein degradability (epd) of various feeds using the modified in vitro gas production (gp) technique. feed samples were alfalfa hay, soybean meal, soybean, rapeseed meal, sunflower meal and fish meal. rumen fluid was collected before the morning feeding from four rumen fistulated lam...

the current experiment was carried out to investigate the possible effects of replacing alfalfa by dried de-oiled savory (satureja khuzistanica; dds) at the levels of 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 percent in finishing diets of mehraban lambs on kinetics of gas production in vitro. the experimental diets contained 20% alfalfa and 80% of concentrate on dry matter basis. replacing alfalfa by dds had no si...

combined cycle performance can be improved by improving the performance of gas turbine based topping cycle. amongst various options the effective cooling of gas turbine blade for realizing the higher turbine inlet temperatures is one of the attractive options. the present paper deals with the thermodynam-ic analysis of advanced technology gas/steam combined cycle based power plant having closed...

The enactment of strict laws on reducing pollution and controlling combustion has given rise to the necessity of considering a new approach to energy supply in the future. One such approach is the use of hydrogen as an alternative to fossil fuels. Hydrogen and synthesis gas are typically produced through the partial oxidation of methane in porous media. This process was theoretically simula...

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 micromod...
