Gas-lift pumps are devices for lifting liquid phase incorporating the gas phase to be injected in the bottom of liquid column. They are widely used in various industrial applications such as oil extracting in petroleum industries. Gas-liquid flow being the main part of the flow through these systems, flowing in vertical pipes of gas-lift pumps has different regimes namely bubbly, slug, chur...

This work investigates the effect of different conditions of PFO thermal cracking from two PFO samples on liquid, solid and gas product yield and asphaltene removal efficiency in a new designed experimental setup. No need to use a catalyst, simple operating system and experiment conditions, the ability to use water as a cheap carrier gas and high asphaltene extraction efficiency without the use...

this study propose a new analytical protocol for the determination of benzene, xylene, toluene and styrene in water samples using homogeneous liquid-liquid microextraction via flotation assistance (hllme-fa) technique followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (gc-ms). in this research, a special extraction cell was designed to facilitate collection of the low-density solvent extraction. ...

With the recent drop in natural gas prices in the United States, there is heightened interest to use methanotrophic bacteria to produce commercial products such as liquid fuels. This project was recently funded to explore this paradigm. This paper describes a bacterium that grows on methane and produces copious amounts of polyhydroxy butyrate. Methane-to-liquid fuels workshop http://arpa-e.ener...

Gravity drainage is the main mechanism which controls the oil recovery from fractured reservoirs in both gas-cap drive and gas injection processes. The liquid bridge formed between two adjacent matrix blocks is responsible for capillary continuity phenomenon. The accurate determination of gas-liquid interface profile of liquid bridge is crucial to predict fracture capillary pressure precisely. ...

background ziziphora tenuior l. known as kakuti in persian, is used in traditional medicine for fever, dysentery, uterus infection and as an analgesic. it is used also in the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders as carminative, or remedy of diarrhea or nausea. major components of plant essential oil including pulegone, isomenthone, thymol, menthone, and piperitone are suggested to be respons...

background valproic acid is widely used as an anticonvulsant and mood-stabilizing drug in the treatment of epilepsy. determination of serum valproic acid is required in epilepsy therapy for efficient control of seizures. objectives in the present study, the gas chromatography method was applied to determine serum valproic acid and resulting data were compared with those obtained by high perform...
