Gas condensate reservoirs are characterized by a distinctive retrograde behavior and potential for condensate drop out during production and sampling. Efficient modeling of gas condensate reservoir requires careful phase behavior studies of samples collected prior to and during the production life of reservoir. In this work, an integrated characterization and tuning algorithm is proposed to ana...

the developing turbulent flow in an open channel is a complex three-dimensional flow influenced by the secondary currents and free surface effects and is, therefore, not amenable to analytical solution. this paper aims to study the impact of three key hydraulic parameters (relative roughness, the froude number and the reynolds number) on the establishment length using computational fluid dynami...

It was thought previously that cardiac muscle gap junctions provide low-resistance connections between cells and permit the local-circuit current to flow. Some evidences show that myocardial cells may not require low-resistance connections for successful propagation of the action potential (AP). It seems that some other types of mechanisms must be involved in AP propagation. In this article, we...

Micro system technology is a relatively new scientific research that deals with the development and study of properties of materials in micro dimensions. Micro-grippers are widely used in switching, positioning, and assembling micron sized components in micro-robotics. In this study, the static and dynamic behavior of visco-elastic Micro-Tweezers under the thermal and electrostatic field is...

In this paper, we first extract a nonlinear time series from the Weierestrass function as a toy model and investigate the anti-noise ability of six different fractal scale algorithm. The results indicate that the fractal scales calculated from Detrended Fluctuation Analysis(DFA) are robust with respect to variation in noise level. Based on the conductance fluctuating signals measured from verti...

gums are the most important stabilizers that are used in ice cream and other frozen dairy dessert industries. in this study, effect of different levels of guar gum (0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3%) and arabic gum (0, 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5%) on rheological behavior of frozen yogurt was investigated. the rheological behavior of samples showed that all samples exhibit shear thinning behavior and power law model f...

operational variables of a mineral processing circuit are subjected to different variations. steady-statesimulation of processes provides an estimate of their ideal stable performance whereas their dynamicsimulation predicts the effects of the variations on the processes or their subsequent processes. in thispaper, a dynamic simulator containing some of the major equipment of mineral processing...

This paper studies the dynamic behavior of price elasticity and its effects on the overall profit. Although price elasticity has a significant effect on sales, its dynamics have not been examined so far in pricing models. In this paper, a simple pricing model is suggested in which, price elasticity is considered dynamic. The suggested pricing model is concerned with a monopolist that its object...
