The temperature and pressure dependence of density was measured experimentally from 293 to 473 K and 0.1 to 12 MPa for a shale oil produced from Kukersite oil shale in Estonia. The shale oil sample was a fuel oil fraction of a whole oil produced in a commercial plant that uses solid heat carrier retorting technology. The fraction had a boiling range of approximately 460 to 780 K and contained significant quantities of polar phenolic compounds (hydroxyl group content of 5.3 wt%). The effect of these compounds on the properties of the oil was investigated by removing most of the phenolic compounds via extraction to create the second sample (dephenolated sample with hydroxyl group content of 1.1 wt%). The dephenolation resulted in a shale oil with a composition being more similar to that of other shale oils from well explored deposits. Based on a review of the literature, this is the first experimental data on the pressure dependence of density for this shale oil, and shale oils generally. Thermal expansion coefficients, isothermal compressibilities and speeds of sound were calculated from the experimental data. Empirical relationships describing the temperature dependence of the heat capacities between 288 and 423 K at atmospheric pressure are also presented here.

Membrane Permeance

Abstract Due to special features, modules comprising asymmetric hollow fiber membranes are widely used in various industrial gas separation processes. Accordingly, numerous mathematical models have been proposed for predicting and analyzing the performance. However, majority of the proposed models for this purpose assume that membrane permeance remains constant upon changes in temperature and pressure. In this study, a mathematical model is proposed by taking into account non-ideal effects including changes in pressure and temperature in both sides of hollow fibers, concentration polarization and Joule-Thomson effects. Finite element method is employed to solve the governing equations and model is validated using experimental data. The effect of temperature and pressure dependency of permeance and separation performance of hollow fiber membrane modules is investigated in the case of CO2/CH4. The effect of temperature and pressure dependence of membrane permeance is studied by using type Arrhenius type and partial immobilization equations to understand which form of the equations fits experimental data best. Findings reveal that the prediction of membrane performance for CO2/CH4 separation is highly related to pressure and temperature; the models considering temperature and pressure dependence of membrane permeance match experimental data with higher accuracy. Also, results suggest that partial immobilization model represents a better prediction to the experimental data than Arrhenius type equation.

Inspite of the increasing focus on reducing carbon dioxide emissions, production of shale oil continues to be economically favorable, and production has even increased in recent years. Producing and handling shale oil requires data on its properties, and to provide this data we have undertaken an extensive project to experimentally measure the properties of Estonian kukersite shale oil. In this article we describe the sample preparation methods and present experimental data on key properties of the shale oil samples. Included is data on the densities, refractive indexes, average boiling points, and molar masses of distillation fractions with narrow boiling ranges. A major component of kukersite shale oil is phenolic compounds, and to investigate their effect on the properties we used extraction to obtain samples with either fewer or more phenols than commonly found in the oil. The effect of composition on the properties is discussed. We also present correlations for calculating one of these properties if two others are known. This article lays the groundwork for future articles which will go into further detail on specific properties of these samples.

Many refineries use hydrogen to upgrade heavy fuel feedstocks, and therefore, hydrogen solubility is an important parameter. Shale oil is a fuel for which hydrotreatment is of interest, but no data about its hydrogen solubility can be found in the literature. This article presents experimental data for the hydrogen solubility of two shale oil samples measured at high temperatures and pressures (423 to 527 K and 40 to 140 bar). Experiments were performed using a continuous flow apparatus. Results show that the shale oil had a lower hydrogen solubility than most other fuels, probably due to the high content of polar phenolic compounds in the oil. Removing about 80% of the phenolic compounds increased the hydrogen solubility by approximately 0.1 mol H2/kg oil (which is about 15 to 45%, depending on the solubility). Analysis also showed that current prediction methods used for petroleum and coal liquids cannot reliably be used for predicting the hydrogen solubility of this shale oil and other similar fuels.

We calculate in this study the volume of ice I as functions of temperature and pressure close to the melting point by analyzing the experimental data for the thermal expansivity. Using an approximate relation, the temperature dependence of the volume is calculated at 202.4 MPa from the thermal expansivity of ice I. The pressure dependence of the volume is also calculated at 252.3 K from the isothermal compressibility of ice I close to the melting point. The volume calculated here as functions of temperature and pressure shows critical behavior close to the melting point in ice I, which can be tested by the experimental measurements.

A thorough characterization of all viscous flow properties relevant to steady simple shear was carried out for five liquid lubricants of current interest to tribology. Shear stresses were generated to values significant to concentrated contact lubrication. Two types of non-Newtonian response were observed: shear-thinning as a power-law fluid and near rate-independence. Functions and parameters were obtained for the temperature and pressure dependence of the viscosity and of the time constant for the Carreau-Yasuda equation. Results are consistent with free volume and kinetic theory, but directly contradict many assumptions currently utilized for numerical simulation and for extracting rheological properties from contact measurements.

We report on compressional- and shear-wave-speed measurements made on compacted polycrystalline sI methane and sII methane–ethane hydrate. The gas hydrate samples are synthesized directly in the measurement apparatus by warming granulated ice to 17°C in the presence of a clathrate-forming gas at high pressure (methane for sI, 90.2% methane, 9.8% ethane for sII). Porosity is eliminated after hydrate synthesis by compacting the sample in the synthesis pressure vessel between a hydraulic ram and a fixed end-plug, both containing shear-wave transducers. Wave-speed measurements are made between –20 and 15°C and 0 to 105 MPa applied piston pressure. PACS No.: 61.60Lj
