MCM-41 particles were synthesized using inorganic raw materials and  Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The textural properties and structure of MCM-41 particles were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM and N2 adsorption-desorption methods. To study performance of Dubinin-Astakhov and Dubinin-Raduchkevic isotherm models in evaluating mesopore volume and pore size of MCM-41 samples, the mesopore ...

determination of porosity, permeability, and pore volume compressibility of reservoir rocks and those variations with effective stress changes are of great interest in petroleum engineering. this paper has studied the influence of pore types of carbonate reservoir rocks on pore volume compressibility as well as klinkenberg permeability and porosity at different stress values. in the current stu...

The variation in seismic P to P reflection amplitude with offset (AVO) caused by a system of fractures embedded in an isotropic background is investigated. Additionally. a sensitivity analysis of AVO parameters with respect to the fracture system parameters is made. The fracture system is assumed to be aligned vertically or horizontally and can be gas filled or fluid filled. Elastic constants a...

Factors affecting vehicle occupancy measurement were examined with the aim of improving state vehicle occupancy monitoring programs. A comparison was conducted of five data sets looking at the effects on average vehicle occupancy (AVO) of time of day, day of week, road types, HOV lanes, locational differences, and traffic volume. It was found that AVO was higher in the afternoons, on Saturdays,...

powder activated carbon surface (ac) was grinded and modified and altered procedure thorough a facile and easy chemical reaction to appearance of 2-((3silylpropylimino)1-methyl) phenol (ac- (spimp)). subsequently, this novel sorbent efficiently applied for the extraction and preconcentration of some metal ions from real samples. preliminary the influences of variables such as ph, amounts of rea...

Three activated carbons are synthesized in a rotary reactor at different activation times. The adsorption isotherms of the samples are measured The pore size distribution of the samples is determined using combined Saito and Foley method, BJH method. An average potential function has been determined inside the cylindrical pores. The effect of activation time on the pore size distribution sample...

pore pressure is an important parameter, in exploration and production of hydrocarbon resources. lack of accurate knowledge about pore pressure, before drilling phase, leads to serious dangers in drilling process. accurate knowledge about distribution of pore pressure in a field, leads to reduce risks in drilling, improve well planning and mud weight calculations. during burial, normally pressu...
