The study of water–hydrocarbon phase equilibria is very important for both scientific and industrial purposes. This work a thorough investigation the predictive capability SAFT-VR Mie equation state (EoS) aqueous hydrocarbon equilibria, including n-alkanes, alkenes, cycloalkanes, branched alkanes, aromatic hydrocarbons. For alkenes alkyl benzenes, induced association (solvation) with water cons...

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 molecular-based SAFT equation of state has proven to be very versatile in the prediction of fluid phase equilibria. However, in common with all analytic equations of state, SAFT exhibits classical behavior in the critical region rather than the nonanalytical, singular behavior seen in real fluids. As a result, accurate agreement over the whole phase diagram cannot be obtained and must be lo...

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...

In this work, we have calculated the Joule-Thomson inversion curve of two important associating fluids, namely water and methanol, from the SAFT equation of state. Comparisons with the available experimental data, for water and methanol indicate that this molecular based equation of state gives good prediction of the low temperature branch; but, unfortunately, due to lack of isenthalpic dat...

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 ...

Acoustic-resolution photoacoustic microscopy (ARPAM) plays an important role in studying the microcirculation system of biological tissues with deep penetration. High lateral resolution of ARPAM is achieved by using a high numerical aperture acoustic transducer. The deteriorated lateral resolution in the out-of-focus region can be alleviated by synthetic aperture focusing technique (SAFT). Prev...

The synthetic aperture focusing technique (SAFT) is often used for imaging in non-destructive ultrasonic testing. Conventional SAFT is well suited for contact testing of homogeneous objects because of the constant sound speed throughout the media, whereas the refraction present in the practically important case of immersion tests has so far prevented a widespread use of SAFT for such data. Fort...

in this work, the pc-saft equation of state (eos) has been used to model the solubility of acid gases (co2 and h2s) in two imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ils) ([c8-mim][pf6] and [c8-mim][tf2n]). parameters of pure ils were estimated using experimental densities. two strategies were considered to model densities of pure ils. in strategy 1, ils were modeled as nonassociating compounds and in st...

The SAFT equation of state was used to model asphaltene phase behavior in a model live oil and a recombined oil under reservoir conditions. The equation of state parameters for the asphaltenes were fit to precipitation data from oil titrations with n-alkanes at ambient conditions. The SAFT model was then used to predict the asphaltene stability boundaries in the live oils. A lumping scheme that...
