Evaluation of Thermodynamic Properties of Helium using Cubic Equation of State based Approach for Energy Industry Applications
Abstract: Equations of state based methods are important techniques for thermodynamic property prediction ofcompounds and mixtures. The Peng-Robinson cubic equation of state is one of the most well-knownformulations for gases and gas mixtures used in the process and energy industries. In this study, it isused to predict pertinent thermodynamic state variables of helium gas for its use in very hightemperature as well as extremely low temperature thermodynamic cycle application for powergeneration …

Isothermal CSTR Heat Exchanger Rating Models for Acetic Acid Production using Homogeneous Catalysed Reaction
Abstract: This work deals with the development of design models for heat exchanger rating in homogeneouscatalytic acetic acid production at isothermal condition exploiting the derived continuous stirred tankreactor heat generation per unit volume equations at constant temperature. Coil in tank heatexchanger is invoked for this study resulting to novel design equations which were stochasticallyexamined and found to be capable of simulating the rating performance dimensions as a function ofkinetic parameters. The …

Deep Sea Rock Drill Fluid Improved Performance by Addition of Nanomaterials
Abstract: This review contains descriptive issues about improvement in bentonite-based drill fluid after nano matter addition applicable to oil and gas well. This is to improve high-temperature access as well as viscous-dynamic performances under low fluid loss. Oil-based drill fluid seemed to be more favorable as restrict seal by mud cake containing shale whereas water-based drill fluid is economical and ecofriendly. Shale of mine is often searched as the sacred source …

Modelling and Simulation of a Bio-Fermenter for Ethanol Production
Abstract: Industrialization and world population are continuously increasing and this demands high energy. Ethanol is one of the leading bio-fuel in recent years. In this research, mathematical models were developed to monitor, predict and simulate the rate of production of ethanol from the fermentation process of corn. Increase in the ethanol production was observed within the range of 0 >D_S≤0.25 of solvent dilution rate with the optimum value of ethanol concentration …
