Effect of slurry flow on the pressure required to restart flow in gelled waxy oil pipelines and connection to rheology
Creators: name: Peerapornlerd, Siripong
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2014

description: As petroleum is becoming increasingly used worldwide, transportation of oil becomes more significant. Finding an effective method to transport petroleum would reduce costs. A pipeline is the most economical and efficient method for the transportation of large quantities of crude oil. However, since many pipelines are usually built under the sea, the ambient temperature is low. Paraffinic crude oils transported in pipelines normally form gels composed of wax crystals during flow shutdowns. These waxy gels may make it difficult to restart flow without breaking the pipe if pipeline flow ceases. A relationship between flow loop experiments and rheology measurements is studied and compared by using similar conditions. Gelled pipeline restart has two main cooling protocols: "slurry flow" and "hot flow." In hot flow, the waxy oil is cooled to the restart temperature under static, no flow conditions. In slurry flow, the oil is cooled during flow to the slurry temperature, and then cooled without flow to the restart temperature. Slurry flow restart became the focus of the author since it is expected to reduce wax deposition in pipelines. For the first and second version of the flow loop, the results showed how the slurry temperature greatly affects restart pressure after when the slurry temperature is below the wax appearance temperature (WAT). This study shows that the gel formed will be weaker when the slurry temperature is lower. This confirms previous research that concluded that varying the upstream pressure used in the range between 1 and 4 psig during the cooling period does not affect the strength of gel clearly. Using a slurry flow method at a restart temperature of 5 °C requires less breaking pressure than hot flow restart. The strength of a gel formed by slurry flow is more than 10 times weaker than its hot flow counterpart. The breaking pressure obtained by converting the static yield stress measured from rheometer measurements under predicted the actual flow loop results. However, both the predicted yield stress and the measured yield stress showed similar trends, but differed by some constant value.

description: The bituminous sand deposits of Utah are estimated to contain 25 - 29 billion barrels of oil in place and are the largest petroleum resource of this type in the United States. There are six major deposits of commercial importance* some of them potentially amenable to surface mining techniques. In this investigation an experimental program was conducted to determine the feasibility of an aboveground fluidized bed thermal process rfor the recovery of - a synthetic crude from the minable bituminous sand deposits of Utah. A continuous bench-scale, fluidized bed reactor, designed for a maximum throughput capacity of 2.25 kilograms of feed sand per hour, was developed for this investigation. Bituminous sands of distinctly different origin were processed, that is, (i) the Sunnyside bituminous sand, a deposit of fresh water origin having a bitumen content of 8.5 percent by weight, and (ii) the Tarsand Triangle sand, a deposit of marine origin having a bitumen content of 4.5 percent by weight. The effects of the following variables on the synthetic liquid yield and on the liquid quality were studied: Reactor Temperature: 698 - 898 K Solids Retention Time: 20.4 - 31.4 minutes Particle Size of Feed Sand: 162 - 507.5 microns The maximum liquid yield for the Sunnyside sand, 70 weight percent of the bitumen fed, was obtained at 773 K and a solids retention time of 20.4 minutes for a feed sand particle size of 358.5 microns. The remaining 30 weight percent of the bitumen was converted to coke and light hydrocarbon gases. Increasing the solids retention time lowered the liquid yield and shifted the-temperature for maximum liquid yield to a lower value. The physical properties and chemical nature of the synthetic liquid obtained were correlated with the reactor temperature. The synthetic liquid obtained was paraffinic and contained a low percentage of heteroatoms. A mechanism for the thermal cracking of the bitumen has been developed to explain the results obtained. Extrapolation of the data to a solids retention time of 16 minutes predicts a yield of 80 weight percent synthetic liquid, 8 weight percent light hydrocarbon gases (C-j - C4 ), and 12 weight percent coke. The thermal processing of Tarsand Triangle sand was studied as a function reactor temperature in the range 723 - 898 K. It was found that the liquid yield was lower than that obtained with the Sunnyside feed. The maximum liquid yield of 51 weight percent based on bitumen fed was obtained at 798 K and a retention time of 27.2 minutes. Despite the differences in the origin of the feed sand and the operating temperature range, the yield of coke (19 - 22 wt %) was comparable to Sunnyside coke yields. The liquid product was more aromatic than the Sunnyside liquid product.

description: This research was undertaken to investigate an unusual and innovative sustainable approach to improve the structural performance of buildings. It was the hope at the start of this project that it would demonstrate results that are similar to modern day dampers at a fraction of the cost. This damper design is termed a Tire Damper and requires a braced frame, inexpensive pin connections, concrete, reinforcing bars or rods, a used tire, duct tape, and four steel plates. The reuse of materials involved and its low cost give this damper the potential to be used. The Tire Damper developed may be able to be improved with additional research, but has shown great potential during analysis of the data. It has proven to be an effective design element which can be used in many different scenarios, from low rise buildings to industrial buildings.

New urban democracy, economic hard times, and political participation: local voter turnout in South Korean cities, 1995-2006

Subjects: Elections--South Korea
Politics--South Korea

description: This research is planned as an explanation about 1) the determinants of civic participation in newly established democratic urban politics, and 2) whether national  socioeconomic changes resulting from globalization can affect local political participation. Through time-series cross-sectional Generalized Least Squares (GLS) random effect models with data of 45 South Korean cities having a population over 200,000 and 189 mayoral elections between 1995 and 2006, this research explores whether socioeconomic factors (macrosociological factors) - population, education, residential characteristics, regional factors, and economic situation - such as the historical effects of economic hardship could have effects on voter turnout. The institutional variables - local  tax burden, urban rural complex city, first elections - or campaign measures - margin of victory, incumbency, field vote, and divided partisan government between local and center - are controlled for the analysis.  Results of the analysis showed that demographic or socioeconomic factors are significant parts of the determinants of voter turnout in South Korean big cities, not only institutional factors. Population and college graduation showed a negative correlation with voter turnout, but long regional residence showed a positive correlation. The effects were larger in the period of economic hardship, 1998-2002. Big cities in the Seoul  metropolitan area - the center and the biggest region in South Korea and a "world city" as a node of the global economy - showed a bigger negative effect on voter turnout than other national regions during the period of economic hardship, between 1997 and the early 2000s.  In summary, this research provides a potentially instructive case study about macrosocial and economic effects on political participation in newly established democratic urban governments. Microsocial mechanisms of urban political participation, a more reliable analytic method and data for further quantitative research, and more comparative studies of other international cities could be suggested. Socioeconomic and institutional  efforts in stimulating voters' concern about urban politics would be a necessary task for the South Korean urban democracy with a short history.

description: In vector tomography (VT), the aim is to reconstruct an unknown multi-dimensional vector field using line integral data. In the case of a 2-dimensional VT, two types of line integral data are usually required. These data correspond to integration of the parallel and perpendicular projection of the vector field along integration lines. VT methods are non-invasive, non-intrusive and offer more information on the field than classical point measurements; they are typically used to reconstruct divergence-free (or source-free) velocity and flow fields. In this paper, we show that VT can also be used for the reconstruction of fields with non-zero divergence. In particular, we study electric fields generated by dipole sources in bounded domains which arise, for example, in electroencephalography (EEG) source imaging. To the best of our knowledge, VT has not previously been used to reconstruct such fields. We explain in detail the theoretical background, the derivation of the electric field inverse problem and the numerical approximation of the line integrals. We show that fields with non-zero divergence can be reconstructed from the longitudinal measurements with the help of two sparsity constraints that are constructed from the transverse measurements and the vector Laplace operator. As a comparison to EEG source imaging, we note that VT does not require mathematical modelling of the sources. By numerical simulations, we show that the pattern of the electric field can be correctly estimated using VT and the location of the source activity can be determined accurately from the reconstructed magnitudes of the field.

description: Asynchronous design has a very promising potential even though it has largely received a cold reception from industry. Part of this reluctance has been due to the necessity of custom design languages and computer aided design (CAD) flows to design, optimize, and validate asynchronous modules and systems. Next generation asynchronous flows should support modern programming languages (e.g., Verilog) and application specific integrated circuits (ASIC) CAD tools. They also have to support multifrequency designs with mixed synchronous (clocked) and asynchronous (unclocked) designs. This work presents a novel relative timing (RT) based methodology for generating multifrequency designs using synchronous CAD tools and flows. Synchronous CAD tools must be constrained for them to work with asynchronous circuits. Identification of these constraints and characterization flow to automatically derive the constraints is presented. The effect of the constraints on the designs and the way they are handled by the synchronous CAD tools are analyzed and reported in this work. The automation of the generation of asynchronous design templates and also the constraint generation is an important problem. Algorithms for automation of reset addition to asynchronous circuits and power and/or performance optimizations applied to the circuits using logical effort are explored thus filling an important hole in the automation flow. Constraints representing cyclic asynchronous circuits as directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) to the CAD tools is necessary for applying synchronous CAD optimizations like sizing, path delay optimizations and also using static timing analysis (STA) on these circuits. A thorough investigation for the requirements of cycle cutting while preserving timing paths is presented with an algorithm to automate the process of generating them. A large set of designs for 4 phase handshake protocol circuit implementations with early and late data validity are characterized for area, power and performance. Benchmark circuits with automated scripts to generate various configurations for better understanding of the designs are proposed and analyzed. Extension to the methodology like addition of scan insertion using automatic test pattern generation (ATPG) tools to add testability of datapath in bundled data asynchronous circuit implementations and timing closure approaches are also described. Energy, area, and performance of purely asynchronous circuits and circuits with mixed synchronous and asynchronous blocks are explored. Results indicate the benefits that can be derived by generating circuits with asynchronous components using this methodology.

description: In this paper, the asymptotic behavior of a semilinear heat equation with long time memory and non-local diffusion is analyzed in the usual set-up for dynamical systems generated by differential equations with delay terms. This approach is different from the previous published literature on the long time behavior of heat equations with memory which is carried out by the Dafermos transformation. As a consequence, the obtained results provide complete information about the attracting sets for the original problem, instead of the transformed one. In particular, the proved results also generalize and complete previous literature in the local case.

description: This study attempted to determine if the condition of patients receiving special preoperative nurse-patient communications were different postoperatively from those without the communication.  Informative communications to 15 patients and social communications to 13 patients were compared with no special communications to 17 patients.  Postoperative differences measured were nausea, vomiting, use of analgesic, antiemetic medication, change in blood pressure, and length of postoperative stay.  Significant differences found by comparing the three groups were as follows:  (a) patients receiving informative communication had significantly less postoperative nausea, vomiting, antiemetic medication, analgesic medication, blood pressure variation, and a shorter postoperative hospitalization than those receiving no special communication; (b) patient receiving social communication had less need for analgesic medication than patients receiving no special communication.

description: A multiple baseline across participants design was used to evaluate the effects of Social Stories as a tool to help preschool aged children with Autism Spectrum Disorders  (ASD) utilize self-regulation strategies to promote increased functional behaviors. Three children from a self-contained preschool classroom designed to educate children with ASD were selected to participate in the study. The intervention included reading individualized Social Stories that discussed target behaviors and self-regulation strategies, along with practicing the self-regulation strategies with the interventionist. I measured the percentage of intervals in which the participants engaged in self-regulatory behaviors and/or demonstrated desired behaviors as defined by the researcher and classroom teacher. Following intervention, the frequency of desired behaviors increased for all 3 participants while the use of self-regulatory behaviors varied across participants.   These findings suggest that the intervention was successful in teaching self-regulation strategies and increasing functional behaviors in preschool aged children with ASD.

description: Scalar fields which are favorite among the possible candidates for the dark energy usually have degenerate minima at $\pm ϕ_{min}$. In the presented work, we discuss a two Higgs doublet model with the non-degenerate vacuum named inert uplifted double well type two-Higgs doublet model (UDW-2HDM) for the dark energy. It is shown that when the both Higgs doublets lie in their respective true minima then one Higgs doublet can cause the current accelerated expansion of the Universe.

Automatic Domain Adaptation of Word Sense Disambigation Based on Sublanguage Semantic Schemata Applied to Clinical Narrative
Creators: name: Patterson, Olga

description: Domain adaptation of natural language processing systems is challenging because it requires human expertise. While manual e ort is e ective in creating a high quality knowledge base, it is expensive and time consuming. Clinical text adds another layer of complexity to the task due to privacy and con dentiality restrictions that hinder the ability to share training corpora among di erent research groups. Semantic ambiguity is a major barrier for e ective and accurate concept recognition by natural language processing systems. In my research I propose an automated domain adaptation method that utilizes sublanguage semantic schema for all-word word sense disambiguation of clinical narrative. According to the sublanguage theory developed by Zellig Harris, domain-speci c language is characterized by a relatively small set of semantic classes that combine into a small number of sentence types. Previous research relied on manual analysis to create language models that could be used for more e ective natural language processing. Building on previous semantic type disambiguation research, I propose a method of resolving semantic ambiguity utilizing automatically acquired semantic type disambiguation rules applied on clinical text ambiguously mapped to a standard set of concepts. This research aims to provide an automatic method to acquire Sublanguage Semantic Schema (S3) and apply this model to disambiguate terms that map to more than one concept with di erent semantic types. The research is conducted using unmodi ed MetaMap version 2009, a concept recognition system provided by the National Library of Medicine, applied on a large set of clinical text. The project includes creating and comparing models, which are based on unambiguous concept mappings found in seventeen clinical note types. The e ectiveness of the  nal application was validated through a manual review of a subset of processed clinical notes using recall, precision and F-score metrics.

Distribution. French Guiana: Luederwaldt 1924: 7 (as Pinotus problematicus) (?). “Guianas”: Blackwelder 1944: 207 (as Pinotus inachus var. problematicus). Other: Luederwaldt 1924: 7 (Ecuador, Peru - as Pinotus problematicus); Blackwelder 1944: 207 (Ecuador, Peru - as Pinotus inachus var. problematicus); Medina et al. 2001: 138 (Colombia).
Note. The lack of recent records of Dichotomius problematicus from the Guianas supports Luederwaldt’s assumption that the type from French Guiana may be mislabeled. The occurrence of this species in the research area remains to be confirmed.

Effect of bitumen-derived coke on deactivation of hydrodemetallation catalyst (Abstract)

description: A large-pore hydrodemetallation catalyst was coked with a solution of anthracene or bitumen in mineral oil in an Autoclave batch reactor to obtain coke levels up to 12%. After Soxhlet extraction and resulfiding, physical properties of the coked catalysts were determined, as well as their catalytic activities for hydrogenation (HYO), hydrodenitrogenation (HON) and C-N hydrogenolysis (CNH) using a mixture of naphthalene and indole in nheptane. It was found that the coke produced via bitumen appeared to be porous, whereas that from anthracene was nonporous. Catalytic activities of the coked catalysts decreased with increasing coke content, with HON or CNH activity being more deactivated than HYO activity. The same catalyst was aged in a laboratory flow reactor for a short time with a bitumen feed and the maltene fraction of the bitumen feed in nheptane solvent. A catalytic activity test was performed in-situ after the aging run. Another activity test was performed on the same catalyst after the catalyst was removed and Soxhlet extracted and resulfided. Two types of carbonaceous deposits were identified on catalysts following the flow aging runs: (1) Coke A catalysts - these consisted of deposits obtained directly after the aging run and activity test. The deposits contained relatively large amounts of condensed polymers and seemed to be related to the flash properties of the feed. Significant losses in catalyst surface area and pore volume were caused by this coke. Catalytic activities were best related to f residual, unblocked surface area and poisoned sites. Hydrogenation sites were appreciably more poisoned than CNH sites; and (2) Coke C catalysts - these contained deposits remaining after further Soxhlet extraction of Coke A catalysts. These deposits were typical of normal coke and tended to reach a limiting value with time. These aged catalysts contained less coke than Coke A catalysts and did not exhibit any loss in surface area and pore volume. Activity tests on these catalysts showed that the results were similar to those of the Autoclave-coked catalysts.
