A California refinery had a need to load gasoline, ethanol, and other high vapor pressure materials (classified as MVR products) onto barges. MVR products are required to have vapor control on them during transfer onto the vessel. The loading terminal is not equipped with any form of vapor re...
Isotope ratios of the lighter noble gases (He, Ne, and Ar) are more strongly affected by thermal diffusion than Kr and Xe isotope ratios, per mass unit difference18,19. At steady-state, the flux of water vapor from the moist UZ to drier overlying surface air leads to a kinetic isotopic...
9. The apparatus defined in claim 8 wherein said solids container is a closed vessel and including means to maintain a blanket of gas in said vessel at substantially atmospheric pressure. 10. The apparatus defined in claim 8 wherein said solids container has an open top and wherein said sol...
unit where a patient exhibits rapid blood loss or unresponsive hypodynamic circulation. The solution may be infused rapidly in a single bolus through a vascular catheter or may be injected directly into a peripheral vessel, with a concomitant saving of critical time. The solution is effective in ...
However, because of pressure build-up from a stuck fuel intake valve the dirigible's rivets popped.The huge vessel collapsed on the ground & was put back in its hangar, where it gathered dust.Slate lost his own fortune (along with the funds of others) in these unsuccessful efforts,...
In this study the distribution of spatial and temporal fishing pressure of operative fishery units OU was analysed. Each unit was integrated per vessel which, through similar forms of operation, takes advantage of the same species in the central region of the Gulf of California. The identification...
respectively. The primary metric for model selection for presence/absence response data in HyperNiche is logB, a log likelihood ratio expressing the improvement over a naive model (logB = 0). We also usedBave, the average contribution of a sample unit to logB, which is independent of sam...
pressure of at least 0.2 p.s.i.a., preferably above about 2.0 p.s.i.a., and most preferably between about 5.0 and 15 p.s.i.a., to reduce the unit cell size of the ammonium-exchanged zeolite to a value in the range between about 24.35 and about 24.65 angstroms, preferably between...
σ=−pI+2 μE is the fluid stress, with I the identity matrix and E=(∇uf+∇uTf)/2 the deformation tensor; r is the distance vector from the center of the sphere while n is the unit vector normal to the particle surface ∂Vp, and Fc and Tc represent additional forces and ...
The residua fraction is introduced into a propane deasphalting unit 20 tuned to preferentially remove polynuclear aromatic components. Removal of the polyaromatics is important as they are typically hydrogenated to polynaphthenes, which degrade the VI of the finished lubricating oil stock. Removal of...
