AbstractMany of oil reservoirs have dealt with operational problems due to probability of asphaltene deposition as a consequence of asphaltene precipitation during natural production and gas injection into the reservoir. So the prediction of asphaltene precipitation is very important and many equations of state (such as Ping Robinson (PR) and Soave–Redlich–Kwong (SRK)) are used for this reason. These common equations are suitable for non-polar components and a modification is necessary to use them for prediction of asphaltene precipitation because of the polar nature of asphaltene compounds. In this study, the SRK equation of state was modified by deriving a new equation for calculating b-parameter (co-volume parameter); and this modified SRK equation of state was used to model asphaltene precipitation. Finally asphaltene precipitation during natural depletion and first stage gas injection process (in different concentrations), was monitored at reservoir temperature and various pressures. The experimental results show a good match with the modified SRK equation of state.

An equation of state for gases at low densities is developed, using a new function for the change in viscosity with temperature, also developed herein.The gas law equation takes the form[Formula: see text]or V(1 + KT)(PV − RT) = λT − a where a and b are constants corresponding to those of the Van der Waals' equation, and K is a constant derived from the proposed viscosity function which is, for carbon dioxide,[Formula: see text]where K is a constant and η is the viscosity at an absolute temperature T.In the case of carbon dioxide the equation was found to follow density results with an accuracy of from 0.01% to within experimental limits, and the viscosity function was found to agree with Sutherland's (10) results between −78.5 and 20 °C.Comparisons with several other equations of state are made. These show that the new equation is probably more accurate than any other.An expanded form of the new equation, namely:[Formula: see text]permits calculations of the slopes of isothermals for any temperature. Comparisons are made with experimental data.The expanded form of the equation may be solved for K, giving the expression:[Formula: see text]where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] and ξ = Rb0, and since the equation enables the calculation of the molecular radius r, the viscosity may be calculated for any temperature and pressure over which the equation holds.

This article presents a new method of laboratory density determination and construction equations of state for marine waters with various ionic compositions and salinities was developed. The validation of the method was performed using the Ocean Standard Seawater and the UNESCO thermodynamic equation of state (EOS-80). Density measurements of water samples from the Aral Sea, the Black Sea and the Issyk-Kul Lake were performed using a high-precision laboratory density meter. The obtained results were compared with the density values calculated for the considered water samples by the EOS-80 equation. It was shown that difference in ionic composition between Standard Seawater and the considered water bodies results in significant inaccuracies in determination of water density using the EOS-80 equation. Basing on the laboratory measurements of density under various salinity and temperature values we constructed a new equation of state for the Aral Sea and the Black Sea water samples and estimated errors for their coefficients.

Published data on the solubility of water in compressed gases were employed for calculating the interaction coefficients kij in the Redlich-Kwong-Soave equations of state for binary systems of water with argon, nitrogen, CO2, N2O, CH4, C2H6, or C2H4. With these coefficients, the estimate of the solubility of water in these gases has been improved by more than one order.

AbstractWe consider the hydrostatic Boussinesq equations of global ocean dynamics, also known as the “primitive equations”, coupled to advection–diffusion equations for temperature and salt. The system of equations is closed by an equation of state that expresses density as a function of temperature, salinity and pressure. The equation of state TEOS-10, the official description of seawater and ice properties in marine science of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission, is the most accurate equations of state with respect to ocean observation and rests on the firm theoretical foundation of the Gibbs formalism of thermodynamics. We study several specifications of the TEOS-10 equation of state that comply with the assumption underlying the primitive equations. These equations of state take the form of high-order polynomials or rational functions of temperature, salinity and pressure. The ocean primitive equations with a nonlinear equation of state describe richer dynamical phenomena than the system with a linear equation of state. We prove well-posedness for the ocean primitive equations with nonlinear thermodynamics in the Sobolev space $${{\mathcal {H}}^{1}}$$ H 1 . The proof rests upon the fundamental work of Cao and Titi (Ann. Math. 166:245–267, 2007) and also on the results of Kukavica and Ziane (Nonlinearity 20:2739–2753, 2007). Alternative and older nonlinear equations of state are also considered. Our results narrow the gap between the mathematical analysis of the ocean primitive equations and the equations underlying numerical ocean models used in ocean and climate science.

AbstractWe present structure and equation of state (EOS) measurements of biaxially orientated polyethylene terephthalate (PET, $$({\hbox {C}}_{10} {\hbox {H}}_8 {\hbox {O}}_4)_n$$ ( C 10 H 8 O 4 ) n , also called mylar) shock-compressed to ($$155 \pm 20$$ 155 ± 20 ) GPa and ($$6000 \pm 1000$$ 6000 ± 1000 ) K using in situ X-ray diffraction, Doppler velocimetry, and optical pyrometry. Comparing to density functional theory molecular dynamics (DFT-MD) simulations, we find a highly correlated liquid at conditions differing from predictions by some equations of state tables, which underlines the influence of complex chemical interactions in this regime. EOS calculations from ab initio DFT-MD simulations and shock Hugoniot measurements of density, pressure and temperature confirm the discrepancy to these tables and present an experimentally benchmarked correction to the description of PET as an exemplary material to represent the mixture of light elements at planetary interior conditions.

Abstract Algorithms are presented for density, potential temperature, conservative temperature, and the freezing temperature of seawater. The algorithms for potential temperature and density (in terms of potential temperature) are updates to routines recently published by McDougall et al., while the algorithms involving conservative temperature and the freezing temperatures of seawater are new. The McDougall et al. algorithms were based on the thermodynamic potential of Feistel and Hagen; the algorithms in this study are all based on the “new extended Gibbs thermodynamic potential of seawater” of Feistel. The algorithm for the computation of density in terms of salinity, pressure, and conservative temperature produces errors in density and in the corresponding thermal expansion coefficient of the same order as errors for the density equation using potential temperature, both being twice as accurate as the International Equation of State when compared with Feistel’s new equation of state. An inverse function relating potential temperature to conservative temperature is also provided. The difference between practical salinity and absolute salinity is discussed, and it is shown that the present practice of essentially ignoring the difference between these two different salinities is unlikely to cause significant errors in ocean models.
