Heavy organics deposition is a common problem in oil industry, especially in oil production, transportation and processing. Wax or solid paraffin series are examples of heavy organics that deposit. Precipitation and crystallization of wax causes major difficulties in different processes. Based on multi-solid theory, a basic model is modified in this paper for wax precipitation in different oils...

in this paper, a cfd model of syngas flow in slurry bubble column was developed. the model is based on an eulerian-eulerian approach and includes three phases: slurry of solid particles suspended in paraffin oil and syngas bubbles. numerical calculations carried out for catalyst particles, bubble coalescence and breakup included bubble-fluid drag force and interfacial area effects. also, the ef...

The article deals with the process of “waxing” pipes and choice effective measures to prevent these negative phenomena. To assess nature asphalt-resin-paraffin deposits (ARPD) select a further investigation scheme, X-ray Spectral analysis was used. It is shown, that ARPD complex system structured by resinous-asphaltene substances paraffin-naphthenic or paraffin-aromatic hydrocarbons.Mass transf...

An excess Gibbs free energy model is applied to in®estigate the influence of n-paraffin composition on the aging beha®ior of wax-oil gel deposits known to form in subsea petroleum transport pipelines. The aging of wax-oil gels occurs by a counterdiffusion process where wax molecules with carbon numbers greater than a critical carbon num( ) ber CCN diffuse into the gel matrix, and ®ice ®ersa. Mo...

We report a distributed loaded line phase shifter based on a new class of electro-thermally actuated RF MEMS devices using paraffin phase-change material (PCM). Paraffin is a low loss (tan δ = 6.6×10−4) mechanical phase-change material that exhibits a 15% volumetric change through its solid-liquid transition. Due to its unique electrical and mechanical properties, paraffin PCM variable capacito...

Somatic mutation analysis represents a useful tool in selecting personalized therapy. The aim of our study was to determine the presence of common genetic events affecting actionable oncogenes using a MassARRAY technology in patients with advanced solid tumors who were potential candidates for target-based therapies. The analysis of 238 mutations across 19 oncogenes was performed in 197 formali...
