AIM The most recent and innovative AquaLase liquefaction technology has offered an alternative to lens extraction. Many studies have investigated its functions and advantages. This article focuses on evaluating the in vivo microscopic cornea changes after AquaLase liquefaction by using a laser confocal microscope. METHODS In this perspective, randomized case study, 37 eyes of 35 patients subm...

A great deal of attention has been paid to design and optimization of low-temperature liquefaction and gas separation problems over the past years, due to their difficult nature. In this paper, two approaches featuring sequential and simultaneous methods for selection and arrangement of subambient separation systems and their associated refrigeration cycles are compared. The effect of ignoring ...

The use of the Maxwell construction, in conjunction with the van der Waals equation of state, to represent the liquefaction of gases is familiar to all students of thermodynamics. The present paper is concerned with the application of the Maxwell construction to Fermi fluids, and in particular with the question as to whether or not they can undergo a liquid-gas phase transition at T= 0. We shal...

Current world capacity of hydrocarbon liquefaction is around 400,000 barrels per day, providing a marginal share of the global liquid fuel supply. This study performs a broad review of technical, economic, environmental and supply chain issues related to coal-to-liquids (CTL) and gas-to-liquids (GTL). We find three issues predominate. First, significant amounts of coal and gas would be required...

Pressurized liquefied natural gas (PLNG) is a new liquefaction solution proposed in recent years for reducing the construction and operating costs of floating (FLNG). For gas, temperature strongly influenced by pressure; when pressure increases, increases accordingly. The increase leads to higher solubility impurities such as carbon dioxide, which means that pretreatment standards can be reduce...

the prediction of liquefaction potential of soil due to an earthquake is an essential task in civil engineering. the decision tree is a tree structure consisting of internal and terminal nodes which process the data to ultimately yield a classification. c4.5 is a known algorithm widely used to design decision trees. in this algorithm, a pruning process is carried out to solve the problem of the...

In this work, CO2 conditioning processes for ship-based CCS sequestration are modelled using the software APSEN HYSYS V11. This study uses captured gas from 3D project as feed. The feed stream contains water, H2S, and CO contaminants. purification dehydration, desulfurization, removal reviewed. Two liquefaction approaches, open-cycle closed-cycle liquefaction, compared transport pressures 7 15 ...
