A new analytical equation for prediction of temperature profile of a buried gas pipeline is developed. Utility of this equation is illustrated by its application to corresponding states principle. The resulting equation is tested through prediction of the actual Schorre data. It is shown that the new equation can predict temperature profile more accurately than the others without using any char...

Error analysis of air temperature profile retrievals with microwave sounder data based on minimization of covariance matrix of estimation error is conducted. Additive noise is taken into account in the observation data with microwave sounder onboard satellite. Method for air temperature profile retrievals based on minimization of difference of brightness temperature between model driven microwa...

Abstract   A new micro combustion concept is described in this work by introducing a new terminology in the micro combustion. The effects of Area to Volume Ratio (AVR) of the micro-combustors were studied to find the best performance of designed micro-combustors. In order to test the feasibility of the designed micro combustors before the actual experiment is conducted, simulation work was perf...

bacillus sp. guf8, isolated from acidic soil samples of a tea farm was identified as bacillus cereus, based on 16s rdna sequencing and standard bacterial identification methods. following optimization of enzyme production, the resulting α-amylase was purified by acetone precipitation and ion exchange chromatography. consequently, thermostability and kinetic parameters of the purified enzyme wer...

In this paper the influence of the temperature cycle time history profile on the fatigue life of ball grid array (BGA) solder joints is studied. Temperature time history in a Pentium processor laptop computer was measured for a three-month period by means of thermocouples placed inside the computer. In addition, pentium BGA packages were subjected to industry standard temperature cycles and als...

in the continuous gas lift operation, compressed gas is injected into the lower section of tubing through annulus. the produced liquid flow rate is a function of gas injection rate and injection depth. all the equations to determine depth of injection assumes constant density for gas based on an average temperature of surface and bottomhole that decreases the accuracy of gas lift design. also g...

In 1992, Eggleston et al. ͓D. L. Eggleston et al., Phys. Fluids B 4, 3432 ͑1992͔͒ reported on a technique for measuring the radial temperature profile in a pure-electron plasma confined in a Malmberg-Penning trap by partially dumping the plasma onto a charge collector at the end of the trap. For short plasmas and short confining rings, the assumptions in their paper are violated and a more general ...

Analysis of the drilling fluid temperature due to heat transfer of drilling fluid with the formation in under-balanced drilling operation is the main objective of this study. Gas-liquid two-phase flow model considering thermal interaction with the formation is used to numerically simulate a well with real dimensions. In the present study, the continuity, momentum, and energy equations are devel...
