if the gas leak is slow and steady, this smell can be undetectable. The rotten-egg smell can dissipate over time so that it's not detectable, which can lead people to assume incorrectly that the problem has been resolved. Another sign of a gas leak is a hissing sound that may be comin...
In order to investigate the effects of subsea gas pipeline leakage on its adjacent offshore platform, KFX, a 3D CFD software, was used to simulate the process and consequence of a fire which was initiated when the gas leaked out from the pipeline reached the sea surface. In the simulation,...
natural gasoxidationremote sensingvegetation stressA facility has been developed at the University of Nottingham at which natural gas can be injected into soil to investigate the effects on the soil ecology and on the growth and development of plants. The facility involves 18 plots, 12 of which ...
It’s also been found that gas stoves – including those that are new and expensive – leak natural gas even when not in use. This gas contains benzene, a known carcinogen, methane, hexane, and toluene, among other things. One analysis found 21 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in this g...
Causes of Gas Leak: The exact cause of the gas leak is still disputed between corporate negligence or employee sabotage. However, some of the factors that contributed to the disaster are: The UCIL plant was storing large quantities of MIC, a highly reactive and volatile chemical, in poorly...
where T2 is the fluid temperature inside annular temperature; h2 is the natural convection heat transfer coefficient. The item on the left of Equation (2) shows the heat exchange between the tubing and the fluid inside and outside the tubing, and the item on the right of Equation (2) ...
for sugar, especially if you have diabetes. While research shows mixed links between artificial sweeteners and cancer, there may be a host of other health problems depending on the type consumed. These include cardiovascular disease and stroke, as well as gut problems such as bloating and gas. ...
The results showed that the leachates did not leak outside the landfill. Nevertheless, they were found to be phytotoxic. Both toxicity tests showed that the increasing amount of leachates resulted in the increasing growth inhibition of the tested plants. The proper handling of leachates should ...
In this form of retinopathy, blood vessels weaken and leak blood into the surrounding tissues which lead to inflammation. Over time this results in new blood vessels forming that obstruct the retina and can lead to blindness. Risk factors for developing diabetic retinopathy include: having diabetes...
free energy (ΔΔG) calculated as, (Eq. 1)ΔΔG=−RTlnKMut/KWT-NG where KMut and KWT-NG are the partition coefficients for the mutant CBM of interest and the wild-type CBM without glycosylation (NG = no glycosylation), respectively, T is temperature, and R is the gas constant....
