an industrial gas turbine has the characteristic of decreasing output power on hot summer days while electricity demand peaks. steam injection in gas turbines has been used for many years to prevent the loss of performance of gas turbines caused by high ambient temperature. vodoley system is a closed steam injection gas turbine cycle (csigtc), which is known as a self-sufficient in steam produc...

Ghrelin is known as a potent orexigenic hormone through its action on the brain. In this study, we examined the effects of intracerebroventricular (icv) and iv injection of ghrelin on water intake, food intake, and urine volume in rats deprived of water for 24 h. Water intake that occurred after water deprivation was significantly inhibited by icv injection of ghrelin (0.1, 1, and 10 nmol/rat) ...

core flooding experiments were conducted with the objective of evaluating near miscible surfactant alternating co2 injection and the effect of surfactant concentrations on gas-oil and water displacements in porous media. the core samples were provided from a low permeability mixed wet oil reservoir at 156 °f and 1900 psia. in addition, very few studies of surfactant adsorption on carbonate mine...

A typical Iranian carbonate matrix block surrounded by an open fracture was modeled in order to understand the fracture-matrix interaction and realize how to model the interaction best. The modeling was carried out by using a fine-scaled Eclipse model in the single porosity mode (the fractures were explicitly modeled). The model was extended to a stack of 6 matrix blocks to understand block-to-...

CO2 capture is an important aid to achieve the goals of reduced emissions. Today market for captured limited. Injection in oil reservoirs one way utilizing and provide permanent storage CO2. By injecting CO2, mobility increased, amount residual reduced. This called enhanced recovery. The goal this study show effects injection combined with autonomous inflow control valves on production. Simulat...

coarse product in the underflow. It is well known that injecting water in the conical part of the cyclone reduces the fine particle fraction in the underflow. This paper presents a mathematical model that simulates the water injection in the conical component. The model accounts for the fluid flow and the particle motion. Particle interaction, due to hindered settling caused by increased densit...

Abstract Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are classified as persistent and carcinogenic organic pollutants. PAHs contamination has been reported in water. Many of relevant regulatory bodies such as EU and EPA have regulated the limit levels for PAHs in drinking water. In this study, 13 priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were determined in tap water samples of Tehran and wat...

Surplus water from seawater desalination plants along the Israeli Coast can be injected underground for seasonal storage. Two pilot projects were established to simulate the movement of air bubbles and changes in the well hydraulic parameters during pumping and recharging. The study showed that it is impossible to remove the smaller air bubbles (dissolved air) that are created during the inject...
