Mass And Heat Transfer Through Nonwettable Porous Membranes, Chung-Liang Yeh
Mass And Heat Transfer Through Nonwettable Porous Membranes, Chung-Liang Yeh
Doctoral Dissertations
"Evaporation of water through nonwettable porous membranes has been studied under various pressures with various membrane thicknesses. The results of previous investigations at 1 atmosphere have been correlated into one equation for mass transfer resistance which has also been found to fit approximately new data obtained of 1.5, 2, and 3 atmospheres in this investigation. In the new data fluxes varied from 0.064 to 0.691 lb./ft.²/hr. through glass fiber-Teflon membrane from 0.02 to 0.08 inch in thickness. Temperatures ranged for 80 to 260°F. A more theoretical equation has been developed to explain variations from the equations based on 1 atmosphere …
An Optimization Approach To Well Spacing For Gas Storage Reservoirs, Jagannath Rao Ghole
An Optimization Approach To Well Spacing For Gas Storage Reservoirs, Jagannath Rao Ghole
Doctoral Dissertations
"A finite approximation to the conventional diffusivity equation describing compressible fluid flow through porous media has been developed with a view to apply it to the problems of optimum well spacing. An equilateral grid system has been employed to enable uniform well spacing for any number of wells. A numerical model has been developed on an IBM 360 - Model 50 computer, which simulates the pressure and saturation transience in the reservoir due to production impulses. This model has been used to maximize with respect to number of wells, the minimum well bore pressure reached throughout the specified withdrawal schedule. …
Turbulence Measurements In Drag Reducing Flow, Jorge Mario Rodriguez
Turbulence Measurements In Drag Reducing Flow, Jorge Mario Rodriguez
Doctoral Dissertations
"Studies of the frequency response of hot-film wedge probes in viscoelastic fluids established their reliability as measuring devices and demonstrated that the objections raised by Metzner and Astarita (77) are not valid for wedge probes. The structure of turbulence in drag reducing soap and polymer solutions was studied using a hot-film wedge probe. Intensity of turbulence measurements in drag reducing fluids indicate that the structure of trubulence is strongly dependent on the condition of the solution. Rates of energy dissipation calculated at the center of the tube indicate that there is an increase in the rate of energy dissipated in …
A Study Of The Anodic Oxidation Of Acetylene On Platinum-Gold Alloys, Christopher Kuo-Chieh Wu
A Study Of The Anodic Oxidation Of Acetylene On Platinum-Gold Alloys, Christopher Kuo-Chieh Wu
Doctoral Dissertations
"The anodic oxidation of acetylene on Pt-Au alloys of four compositions (80-20, 60-40, 40-60, and 20-80 Pt-Au) was studied at 80°C in solutions of constant pH and unit normality. Currents were measured as a function of potential and partial pressure of acetylene. The effects of temperature on current in 1 N H₂SO₄ and 1 N NaOH and the coulombic efficiencies for CO₂ production were determined. The experimental results indicated that the alloys can be classified into three groups, Pt-rich, Au-rich, and intermediate compositions. A transition region (change of the mechanism) was found for the Au-rich alloys. The oxidation can be …
