The precipitation of asphaltenes in two Mexican crude oils was measured using a combination of high-pressure isothermal expansion and atmospheric titration with nalkanes. Experiments were carried out from the liveand tank-oil type of samples of the same crude oils. For the oils investigated, compositional data, precipitation phase diagrams, and bubble point pressures are reported. A theoretical...

As part of a combined experimental and theoretical study of the thermodynamic properties of perfluoroalkylalkanes (PFAAs), the liquid density of perfluorobutylpentane (F4H5), perfluorobutylhexane (F4H6), and perfluorobutyloctane (F4H8) was measured as a function of temperature from 278.15 to 353.15 K and from atmospheric pressure to 70 MPa. The liquid densities of n-perfluoropentane, n-perfluor...

The saturation vapour pressure of {x BF3 + (1−x)n-C4H10} has been measured at 195.49 K. The system shows large positive deviations from Raoult’s law and liquid–liquid immiscibility over a wide composition range whose limits have been estimated as 0.39±0.03 < x > 0.9785. The excess molar Gibbs energies (Gm) have been calculated as a function of composition from the vapour pressure data. For the ...

In this work, we extend the pure fluid crossover statistical associating fluid theory (HRX-SAFT) equation of state (EOS) (Kiselev et al., Fluid Phase Equilib. 2001, 183-184, 53) to fluid mixtures of polar and associating components. HRX-SAFT incorporates non-analytic scaling laws in the critical region and is transformed into the analytical, classical HR-SAFT EOS far away from the critical poin...

The Special Affine Fourier Transformation or the SAFT generalizes a number of well known unitary transformations as well as signal processing and optics related mathematical operations. Shift-invariant spaces also play an important role in sampling theory, multiresolution analysis, and many other areas of signal and image processing. Shannon’s sampling theorem, which is at the heart of modern d...

The isosteric heat of adsorption is an important thermodynamic property used to characterize and optimize processes. In this work, analytic expressions for heats are derived a collection commonly isotherm models two-dimensional molecular equation state based on the SAFT-VR approach. use these presented with example nitrous oxide, N2O, biochar, which waste biomass charcoal that exhibits high pot...

INTRODUCTION New fast and efficient multi-channel ultrasonic echo measurement systems are currently introduced for practical applications in NDT-CE [ 1, 2]. The acquired multi-offset data are currently processed and imaged by the synthetic aperture focussing technique (SAFT, see e.g. [ 3, 4]). The application of SAFT, which is closely related to the seismic Kirchhoff migration method, is succes...

3D ultrasonic inspection equipment “Matrixeye” can visualize defects as 3D image with good resolution by the 3D SAFT (Synthetic Aperture Focusing Technique) imaging method. High-speed 3D SAFT imaging process can be achieved by the developed parallel signal process of the ultrasonic echo data collected by a linear or a matrix-array ultrasonic probe. It has the following features. •3D image with ...
