Based on the porous flow theory, an extension of the pseudo-functions approach for the solution of non-linear partial differential equations considering adsorption-desorption effects was used to investigate the transient flow behavior of fractured wells in shale gas reservoirs. The pseudo-time factor was employed to effectively linearize the partial differential equations of the unsteady flow r...

In response to the urgent need for estimates of the oil and gas flow rate from the Macondo well MC252-1 blowout, we assembled a small team and carried out oil and gas flow simulations using the TOUGH2 codes over two weeks in mid-2010. The conceptual model included the oil reservoir and the well with a top boundary condition located at the bottom of the blowout preventer. We developed a fluid pr...

carbon molecular sieve membranes (cmsms) have been considered as very promising candidates for gas separation, in terms of separation properties as well as thermal and chemical stability. due to the numerous advantages and wide applications of carbon membranes, their application for gas separation is of special importance. because of the importance of carbon membranes and a large number of stud...

In this paper, a mathematical model is developed to calculate the conversion and the residence time reaction for plug flow and mixed flow in the reactors filled with cylin-drical particles using the shrinking core model. In this modeling, the size of the particles is un-chamged during the reaction. Also, the reaction rate is controlled by the gas layer resistance, the ash layer resistance, and ...

The exchange rate of CO2 in artificial lungs depends on the sweep gas flow rate. Control of the amount of CO2 removed by an artificial lung requires quantitative knowledge of the flow dependence. A simple model of the dependence of CO2 exchange on sweep gas flow rate in artificial lungs has been previously presented (1). For a given partial pressure of CO2 in the blood phase, sweep gas flow rat...

BACKGROUND Thermal ablation is one of the most commonly used modalities to treat central airway obstruction. Both laser and argon plasma coagulation (APC) have been reported to cause gas emboli and cardiac arrest. We sought to determine whether bronchoscopic ablation therapy can result in systemic gas emboli, correlate their presence with the rate of gas flow, and establish whether a zero-flow ...

The vaporization rates of enflurane were measured in 412 anaesthetics using appropriate fresh gas flow rates in Bain (12 litre min-1), Magill (6 litre min-1) and circle systems (3 litre min-1, 1 litre min-1 and "closed"). In all patients reducing the fresh gas flow rate resulted in lower enflurane consumption. The percent savings were 18-86% depending on the initial fresh gas flow rate and the ...
