Decreased technological costs and increased efficiency of horizontal drilling has made obtaining natural gas from shale deposits through hydraulic fracturing a viable economic option. However, current estimates of per kWh costs to obtain natural gas through this method do not account for increased environmental risks. By incorporating damages from air and water pollution, the true cost of hydra...

the request for natural gas attention to its adaption with environment and less pollution than the other fossil fuels has the highest growth in last decades. in result this energy has high geopolitical importance. iran with has about 2.18 percent of total world reserves, the largest in the world. but couldn't played important role in the natural gas geopolitics and even it hasn't in b...

use of zinc and iron oxide are common in the desulfurization process from natural gas. in thisresearch, after determinations of the size and specifications through tem and xrd for each of the metaloxides, two different size ratios were used, 0.66 for zinc oxide and 0.142 for iron oxide. further, absorption of sulfur compounds in gas (hydrogen sulfide (h2s), carbonyl sulfide (cos), methyl mercap...

compressibility factor and viscosity of natural gasses are of great importance in petroleum and chemical engineering. to calculate the natural gas properties in the pipelines, storage systems and reservoirs, the exact values of gas compressibility factor and viscosity are required. a new method that allows accurate determination of compressibility factor and gas viscosity for all types of: swee...

On April 26, 1996, Public Law 104-134 was Chart 1 .-Payment volume, by type of disbursement, fiscal year 1997 enacted, requiring all Federal payments except tax refunds be issued electronically by January 2, 1999, thus beginning a new era in electronic N Federal tax 10.5% funds transfer (EFT). This legislation, the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996-part of the Omnibus Consolidated Resciss...

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...

in this paper, an adaptive-network-based fuzzy inference system (anfis) is used for forecasting of natural gas consumption. it is clear that natural gas consumption prediction for future, surly can help statesmen to decide more certain. there are many variables which effect on gas consumption but two variables that named gross domestic product (gdp) and population, are selected as two input var...

Several methods for fabricating a dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC) are introduced for enhancing its photo-chacracterisitics 1 , 2 . The novel method, nano-particle deposition system (NPDS), suggests one of the outstanding ways to be applied in DSSC. NPDS is a novel method to deposit ceramic and metallic powders on substrate at room temperature, by accelelating particles up to supersonic veloc...

the natural gas consumption in iran has been continuously increasing due to several reasons including low prices of natural gas, development of gas supply networks, people’s salary increase, incorrect consumption culture and the increase of national economy growth.  although, the global natural gas consumption has increased by 38% since 2001, the national consumption in iran has increased by 11...
