according to the global fuel crisis, it seems necessary to use alternative fuel instead of gasoline. since the natural gas is cheaper, have higher frequency than gasoline and less pollution, it is a suitable fuel. many efforts have been done in order to replace gasoline with natural gas. one of the methods is to inject natural gas and gasoline fuel simultaneously and to use the benefits of both...

The paper presents the design and implementation of an automated system for the analysis of gas mixtures. Using low-cost, non-selective gas sensors in combination with signal processing algorithm based on artificial neural networks, the prototype system is able to correctly classify three combustible gases (methane, isobutane, and hydrogen) and to indicate when the total gas concentration in th...

The essential oils of Piper cernuum and Piper regnellii leaves were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and the results were compared to that obtained by means of a program designed to analyse (13)C-NMR data of complex mixtures. Bicyclogermacrene (21.88 %)/beta-caryophyllene (20.69 %) and myrcene (52.60 %)/linalool (15.89 %) were the major constituents in essential oil from...

This paper presents the initial stage of an effort aimed at developing a new correlation to estimate pseudo critical properties for sour gas when the exact composition is not known. Several mixing rules and gas gravity correlations available in the literature are first evaluated and compared. The evaluation is performed on a large database consisting of more than 2000 samples of sour gas compos...

Considering that natural gas is the key transition fuel towards carbon-neutral future, objective of present study to gain insight into evolution features gas-diesel dual during ignition process. Firstly, new experimental data delay times for stoichiometric methane/ethane/propane-n-heptane mixtures, which significance validating and optimizing chemical kinetic models at engine-relevant condition...

natural gas is one of the hydrocarbon resources which is consumed vastly in the world. the asian and european markets, facing with a growing demand of hydrocarbon resources especially natural gas, are the most important consuming markets. hence, the security of natural gas supply is very important. based on the estimation of gas supply security index (gssi), the amount of vulnerability of selec...

gas compressibility factor (z-factor) is an important parameter widely applied in petroleum and chemical engineering. experimental measurements, equations of state (eoss) and empirical correlations are the most common sources in z-factor calculations. however, these methods have serious limitations such as being time-consuming as well as those from a computational point of view, like instabilit...
