Unit processes in petroleum refining and production of petrochemicals, polymers and related products. The computer will be used as a tool for the modeling. Includes laboratory demonstrations. The mathematical model is developed on the basis of the general case. Special cases, including the steady state, are treated only as ramifications of the general case.
Problems illustrate practical applications of the models and methods developed.
This course is designed to cover all important aspects of corrosion in the oilfield. Emphasis will be placed on corrosion related to well completion, production, and transportation. Specific areas include carbon and alloy steels, elastomers, coatings, inhibitors, methods of corrosion monitoring, and phase behavior aspects of deep, hot wells. Design equations and data for process and equipment designs are discussed. Applications in energy conservation, fuel combustion, pollution monitoring and control are included in presentation.
