Abstract
The 3A zeolite is an excellent adsorbent for natural gas dehydration due to low energy requirement in regeneration step and easy operation. To perform a reliable modeling, a good equilibrium adsorption isotherm is mandatory. Accordingly, water, methane, methyl mercaptan (M-mercaptan) and CO2 adsorption isotherms and also the competitive adsorption loading versus temperature are described for the system using molecular simulation and mathematical models. It is found that CO2 competes with water for adsorption on 3A and lower temperature is required for selective removal of water. The mathematical model results showed that M-mercaptan and CO2 quickly adsorb on 3A and capacity of 3A for water...
Modeling and Optimization of Supersonic Separators
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Farhadi, Fathollah (Supervisor)
Abstract
Supersonic separation is a modern technology which is used in petroleum’s industry. Supersonic flow is obtained by converging-diverging nozzle in which by decreasing pressure and increasing fluid’s velocity, we can reach low temperature which is required for separation. After separation in low temperature, pressure is recovered via normal shockwave or a second nozzle. In the case of using second nozzle, fluid’s velocity is decreased and its pressure is increased. In these separators, we have two important issues: Separation efficiency and Pressure recovery . On the other hand, nozzle’s performance depends on two sets of factors: Factors related to nozzle’s geometry and Factors related to...
