Is Carbon dioxide an ore-forming fluid under shallow-earth conditions?

CARBON DIOXIDE EFFECTS UNDER CONDITIONS OF RAISED ENVIRONMENTAL PRESSURE by

Exposure to increased pressure, such as that encountered under water, affects the mechanics of respiration and in particular, the behavior of the respiratory gases. Carbon dioxide plays a major role in the physiology of the high-pressure environment, since the increased breathing resistance easily leads to carbon dioxide retention. The latter has been observed frequently in scuba and helmet div...

Vetiver Oil Extraction Optimization Using Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Fluid

The Carbon Dioxide Tension of Cerebrospinal Fluid

The COz tension is a necessary factor in determining the acidbase equilibrium of the blood. It has been determined for blood both directly, and indirectly through CO2 of the alveolar air. The blood, because of oxidation, reduction, forced breathing, and stasis through constriction of the veins, undergoes variations in the COz tension. Does the cerebrospinal fluid which exists in a more isolated...

Geodynamo Simulations under Earth-like Conditions

A number of dynamo simulations were performed during 2005 based on a Spectral Transform Method (STM). In one series of geodynamo simulations, the Ekman (Ek) and the Rayleigh (Ra) number dependences of the dynamo action were examined in detail. The change of the pattern of the fluid motion was observed as a function of Ra at Ek = 4 × 10–5.. The dynamo simulations at the lower value of Ek = 4 × 1...

Fluid Sampling under Adverse Conditions

Des échantillons valables sont essentiels pour bien caractériser les fluides de gisements. Si les échantillons ne sont pas représentatifs, toutes les mesures ultérieures seront entachées d’erreurs. Cet article discute les principaux défis en matière d’échantillonnage, en particulier les réservoirs de gaz à condensats, les gradients compositionnels, la teneur en eau des fluides hydrocarbonés, le...
