Heuristic 3 A component composing a large fraction of the feed should be removed first. 

Composed of digitalose, glucose and digi-taligenin. Its action is that of digitalis. 

Kapustinskii equation For an ionic crystal composed of cations and anions, of respective charge and z, which behave as hard spheres, the lattice energy (U) may be obtained from the expression... 

Madeluag constant For an ionic crystal composed of cations and anions of respective change z + and z, the la ttice energy Vq may be derived as the balance between the coulombic attractive and repulsive forces. This approach yields the Born-Lande equation,... 

Basic refractory materials include lime, magnesia, various materials composed chiefly of alumina (bauxite, diaspore, laterite, gibb-site, etc.), dolomite and most of the rarer refractory oxides, particularly zirconia. 

It is common that a mixture of hydrocarbons whose boiling points are far enough apart petroleum cut) is characterized by a distillation curve and an average standard specific gravity. It is then necessary to calculate the standard specific gravity of each fraction composing the cut by using the relation below [4.8] ...

This procedure can be easily simulated by a program if the composition of the petroleum material and the pure hydrocarbons or petroleum fractions composing the sample are known. Air can be considered as nitrogen without changing the results. 

Hydrates are solid structures composed of water molecules joined as crystals that have a system of cavities. The structure is stable only if at least one part of the cavities contains molecules of small molecular size. These molecules interact weakly with water molecules. Hydrates are not chemical compounds rather, they are clathrates . 

There are two hydrate structures, types 1 et 11, each composed of two cavity sizes. Only the lightest of the hydrocarbons can form hydrates. Table 4.20 gives the hydrates formed by the most common compounds. 

Each lubricating oil is composed from a main base stock, into which additives are mixed to give the lubricant the properties required for a given application. 

The aromatic extracts are black materials, composed essentially of condensed polynuclear aromatics and of heterocyclic nitrogen and/or sulfur compounds. Because of this highly aromatic structure, the extracts have good solvent power. 

Since the discovery of petroleum, the rational utilization of the fractions that compose it has strongly influenced the development of refining processes as well as their arrangement in refining flowsheets. 

Figure 10.7 presents the case of an FCC feedstock comprising a mixture of vacuum distillate and light atmospheric residue, and the case of an FCC feedstock composed of vacuum distillate and DAO, as well as the constraints of such configurations. 

Reservoir rocks are either of clastic or carbonate composition. The former are composed of silicates, usually sandstone, the latter of biogenetically derived detritus, such as coral or shell fragments. There are some important differences between the two rock types which affect the quality of the reservoir and its interaction with fluids which flow through them. 

Aud/f/ng the operation of a system may be done by an external audit team composed of qualified people from within or outside the operating company. However, involvement... 

The fluids contained within petroleum accumulations are mixtures of organic compounds, which are mostly hydrocarbons (molecules composed of hydrogen and carbon atoms), but may also include sulphur, nitrogen, oxygen and metal compounds. This section will concentrate on the hydrocarbons, but will explain the significance of the other compounds in the processing of the fluids. 

Using this mixture as an example, consider starting at pressure A and isothermally reducing the pressure to point D on the diagram. At point A the mixture exists entirely in the liquid phase. When the pressure drops to point B, the first bubble of gas is evolved, and this will be a bubble of the lighter component, ethane. As the pressure continues to drop, the gas phase will acquire more of the heavier component and hence the liquid volume decreases. At point C, the last drop of liquid remaining will be composed of the heavier component, which itself will vaporise as the dew point is crossed, so that below... 

The reservoir is composed of pores of many different sizes, and can be compared to a system of capillary tubes of widely differing diameters, as shown below. 

The capital cost estimates are generated by the Engineering function, often based on 50/50 estimates (equal probability of cost overrun and underrun). It is recommended that the operating expenditure is estimated based on the specific activities estimated during the field lifetime (e.g. number of workovers, number of replacement items, cost of forecast manpower requirements). In the absence of this detail it is common, though often inaccurate, to assume that the opex will be composed of two elements fixed opex and variable opex. 

The elaborated method of applying elements for calibration of devices composed of the body with a nartensite structure, with elements made of austenite steel placed in it, allows to ensure calibration repeatability,...
