Mantilla, Ivan (2012-10-19)The scale of the energy business today and a favorable and promising economic environment for the production of natural gas, requires study of the thermophysical behavior of fluids: sophisticated experimentation yielding ...
-
Robinson, Richard Lee (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1996)In this document, three problems were examined to enhance the understanding of transport phenomena related to interfacial phenomena. Each of these problems: (1) the effect of an external field on a fluid phase (supercritical ...
-
Zhou, Jingjun (2009-05-15)We have developed a new automatic apparatus for the measurement of the phase equilibrium and pVT properties of natural gas mixtures in our laboratory. Based on the isochoric method, the apparatus can operate at temperature ...
-
Vidal Vazquez, Migvia del C. (Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)Flammability is an important factor of safe practices for handling and storage of liquid mixtures and for the evaluation of the precise level of risk. Flash point is a major property used to determine the fire and explosion ...
-
Hernandez-Valencia, Vicente Nicolas (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)An experimental apparatus, based on the Burnett mixing experiments, was designed and constructed for measuring the cross second virial coefficient (B12). In this isothermal experiment, two pure fluids are fed to separate ...
-
Patil, Prashant Vithal (2009-05-15)High-accuracy density measurement data are required to validate equations of state (EOS) for use in custody transfer of natural gas through pipelines. The AGA8-DC92 EOS, which is the current industry standard has already ...
-
Lau, Wing-Wah Robbie (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)A new, continuously weighed pycnometer has been constructed for fast and accurate density measurements. This apparatus consists of a sample cell that is suspended from an electronic balance at all times. The sample cell ...
-
Nicola, Sally (2012-10-19)Corrosion is the most important mechanical integrity issues the petrochemical industry has to deal with. While significant research has been dedicated to studying corrosion, it is still the leading cause of pipeline failure ...
-
Stouffer, Carleton Ernest (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)A combined Burnett-isochoric apparatus was designed and constructed to measure the pressure, density and temperature (P[rho]T) properties of corrosive fluids between 200 and 450 K to pressures of 21 MPa. Automated temperature ...
-
Kellerman, Scott Joseph (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)Experimental temperatures and pressures were obtained using a Burnett-isochoric apparatus, and corresponding densitites derived for two mistures of carbon dioxide (1) and hydrogen sulfide (2); x1 = 0.7067, x2 = 0.2933 and ...
-
Dorsi, Eugene Nicholas (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1990)Equation of state calculations are used by engineers in all phases of chemical process design and control. New processes often are designed to operate under conditions for which insufficient experimental data exist, and ...

Functionalization of polyolefins : entrapment of functionalized ethylene oligomers in polyethylene Hu, Ho-Pin (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1985)Functionalization of polyethylene by entrapment of functionalized ethylene oligomers in precipitates of polyethylene is described. The details of this entrapment process, which is an alternative to harsh, unselective ...
-
McGregor, Duane Robert (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)A semi-automated vibrating tube densimeter designed for operations between 100 and 700 K and to 70 MPa is described. This densimeter features continuous flow of the sample fluid and a fluid conditioning system that rapidly ...
-
Wong, Wun K. (Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)Accurate flammability limit information is necessary for safe handling of gas and liquid mixtures, and safe operation of processes using such mixtures. The flammability limit is the maximum or minimum fuel concentration ...

Hall, Kenneth R.; Morrison, Gerald L.; Holste, James C. (United States. Patent and Trademark Office; Texas A&M University. Libraries, 2000-05-02)The focus of this paper is to introduce a novel method for calibrating natural gas flowmeters. This new method can accommodate very large flow rates and it avoids common problems associated with current techniques for meter ...

Parker, Donald L.; Hall, Kenneth R.; Holste, James C. (United States. Patent and Trademark Office; Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989-01-31)The present invention relates to a method of producing micropores having diameters of less than 20 nanometers in straight sides in silicon film. The silicon film produced by this process may be attached to a substrate ...
-
Morrison, Gerald L.; Holste, James C.; Hall, Kenneth R. (United States. Patent and Trademark Office; Texas A&M University. Libraries, 2002-07-23)This invention is related to flow meter instrumentation. More particularly, the invention is related to obstruction flow meters which are used in series in a flow conduit to determine the volume flow rate of liquid and gas ...
