in this study, mass transfer coefficients (mtc’s) of natural gas components during hydrate formation are reported. this work is based on the assumption that the transport of gas molecules from gas phase to aqueous phase is dominant among other resistances. several experiments were conducted on a mixture of natural gas at different pressures and temperatures and the consumed gas was monitored an...

An efficient membrane for helium separation from natural gas is quite crucial for cryogenic industries. However, most experimentally available membranes fail in separating helium from small molecules in natural gas, such as H2, as well as in 3He/4He isotopes separation. Using first-principles calculations, we theoretically demonstrated that the already-synthesized graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3...

this paper proposes a new method for transmission loss allocation. the share of each bus in the transmission line losses is determined using transmission line loss equations with respect to bus-injected currents. then, it is applied to the total network transmission lines. in the proposed method, comparing with other methods, a solution to remove the negative loss allocation has been introduced...

background: welding can produce dangerous fumes containing various metals especially carcinogenic ones. occupational exposure to welding fumes is associated with lung cancer. therefore, welders in gas transmission pipelines are known as a high-risk group. this study was designed to determinate the amounts of metals cr, ni, and cd in breathing zone and urine of welders and to assess the possibil...

During the past few years, modeling in agriculture has attracted considerable attention. New modeling methods including neural networks are employed in various industries, and it is necessary that their use in agriculture be also considered. This research addressed the trend of energy use in broiler farms in Alborz Province and sought to model the trend of energy consumption and production in t...

For natural gas pipeline, it has a leak or not is critical. The most commonly problems in the pipeline leak detection methods are the difficulties to identify, inaccuracy to locate, thus, the natural gas pipeline detection is difficult to be applied, therefore, the use of neural network multi-sensor data fusion of the natural gas pipeline leak detection is particularly important. In this paper,...
