this study mainly focuses on enhancing the overall efficiency of gas transmission networks. the authors developed a model with detailed characteristics of compressor and pressure reduction stations. following this, they suggested three different systems with gas turbine including: organic rankine cycle (orc), air bottoming cycle (abc), and abc along with steam injection (si-abc). in addition, u...

Catalysis as a scientific discipline originated in the early part of the last century. Earlier, the unique feature of a catalytic substance, namely that when added in small quantities to a reaction it affects its rate and selectivity but is not consumed, had become widely recognized, and many applications had been developed. Only after chemical thermodynamics had been defined did a rational app...

This study aims to investigate the problem of organizing practical classes in disciplines natural science cycle at oil and gas university. One unsolved issues is improving content methodological preparation for conducting course "Oil Gas Chemistry" higher education. It reported that logic delivering lectures should correspond students' assimilation subject matter, formation skills abilities, mo...

Atmospheric CO2 concentrations, retrieved from spectral measurements made in the near infrared (NIR) by the SCIAMACHY instrument, using a new retrieval algorithm called Full Spectral Initiation Weighting Function Modified Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (FSI WFM-DOAS), are compared to ground based Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) data and to the output from a global chemistry-tran...

The last few decades have shown that analytical chemistry and environmental chemistry are “conjoined twins”. Neither can move significantly forward without the contribution and support of the other discipline. But in their conjoined development both disciplines have contributed much to our knowledge of environmental pollution, to the understanding of environmental processes, and to the developm...

Zeiten und Winde des Lebens verwehen uns Menschen im Räume doch der Erinnerung Bild bindet für immer das Herz. The Born-Haber Cycle (BHC) is critically reviewed, the origin of severe limitations in its appli­ cation is shown. Partly this is based on the construction of the third step, partly it is connected with the fact that most of the "classical" anions of inorganic chemistry are instable, "...

Enzyme-less chemistry appears to control the growth rate of the green alga Chara corallina. The chemistry occurs in the wall where a calcium pectate cycle determines both the rate of wall enlargement and the rate of pectate deposition into the wall. The process is the first to indicate that a wall polymer can control how a plant cell enlarges after exocytosis releases the polymer to the wall. T...
