Abstract: A method of evaluation for peak/off-peak price functions in energy storage technologies is presented. The method is particularly useful in statical optimization of the fundamental parameters ...

Abstract: Intercooling of compressors is necessary for an efficient process. Among the optimal criteria required, minimizing the compression-specific work is one of the more commonly used. Upon ideal ...

Abstract: A one-dimensional numerical model is developed to predict the long-range variations of vertical temperature, density, and salinity profiles in the Dead Sea, which is a highly saline large water ...

Abstract: Drill collar connection failures have increased as oil and gas wells are drilled to greater depths requiring the use of smaller collars. The high cost resulting from these failures prompted a ...

Abstract: Drill collar connection failure frequency increases when wells are drilled deeper and when directional holes are drilled. These failures, which materially increase the cost of operations, prompted ...
