A prototype ejector chiller with nominal cooling power of 40 kW, designed according to the “CRMC” criterion, has been tested by our research group since 2011. The undergone several refinements and finally upgraded R1233zd(E), which is non-flammable, low-GWP favourable thermodynamic properties, i.e. “dry-expansion” moderate pressure at generator. In terms saturation curve, new fluid similar R245...

Time-lapse 3-D seismic monitoring of subsurface rock property changes incurred during reservoir fluid-flow processes is an emerging new diagnostic technology for optimizing hydrocarbon production. I discuss the physical theory relevant for three-phase fluid flow in a producing oil reservoir, and rock physics transformations of fluid-flow pressure, temperature and pore-fluid saturation values to...

Heat exchanger system is widely used in chemical plants because it can sustain wide range of temperature and pressure. The main purpose of a heat exchanger system is to transfer heat from a hot fluid to a cooler fluid, so temperature control of outlet fluid is of prime importance. To control the temperature of outlet fluid of the heat exchanger system a conventional PID controller can be used. ...

Studies have shown that divers may lose large volumes of body fluids in hot water suit (HWS) dives lasting for four hours or longer, and that this dehydration is mainly caused by sweating. Body fluid balance may be impaired and the diver's alertness and power of judgement could be influenced by such imbalance. The main objective of the present study was to obtain a subjective judgement of a dri...

The virulence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa can be enhanced by passage in mice or rabbits. Enhanced virulence has some specificity for the host in which the passage is done. Experimental infection in the peritoneal cavity of cannulated rabbits has shown that the injection of iron compounds can lead to a rapid and fatal growth of an otherwise nonlethal dose of bacteria. In vitro the unsaturated iron...
