Explicit deconvolution of wellbore storage distorted well test data
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
The analysis/interpretation of wellbore storage distorted pressure transient test data remains one of the
most significant challenges in well test analysis. Deconvolution (i.e., the "conversion" of a variable-rate
distorted ...
OH* Chemiluminescence: Pressure Dependence of O + H + M = OH* + M
(2011-02-22)
The measure of chemiluminescence from the transition of the hydroxyl radical from its electronically excited state (A^2 Sigma^positive) to its ground state (X^2 Pi) is used in many combustion applications for diagnostic ...
