High pressure fluids

More recent quantum-based MD simulations were performed at temperatures up to 2000 K and pressures up to 30 GPa.73,74 Under these conditions, it was found that the molecular ions H30+ and OH are the major charge carriers in a fluid phase, in contrast to the bcc crystal predicted for the superionic phase. The fluid high-pressure phase has been confirmed by X-ray diffraction results of water melting at ca. 1000 K and up to 40 GPa of pressure.66,75,76 In addition, extrapolations of the proton diffusion constant of ice into the superionic region were found to be far lower than a commonly used criterion for superionic phases of 10 4cm2/s.77 A great need exists for additional work to resolve the apparently conflicting data.

Liquid waste atomization can be achieved by any of the following atomizers rotary cup single-fluid pressure two-fluid, low-pressure air (internal mix) two-fluid, high-pressure air or steam (internal mix) and two-fluid, high-pressure air or steam (external mix). 

The jet pump relies on the same hydraulic power being delivered sub-surface as to the hydraulic reciprocating pump, but there the similarity ends. The high-pressure power fluid is accelerated through a nozzle, after whioh it is mixed with the well stream. The velocity of the well stream is thereby increased and this acquired kinetic energy is converted to pressure in an expander. The pressure is then sufficient to deliver the fluids to surface. The jet pump has no moving parts and can be made very compact. 

Gas is sometimes produced at very high pressures which have to be reduced for efficient processing and to reduce the weight and cost of the process facilities. The first pressure reduction is normally made across a choke before the well fluid enters the primary oil / gas separator. 

Almost everyone has a concept of pressure from weather reports of tlie pressure of the atmosphere around us. In this context, high pressure is a sign of good weather while very low pressures occur at the eyes of cyclones and hurricanes. In elementary discussions of mechanics, hydrostatics of fluids and the gas laws, most scientists leam to compute pressures in static systems as force per unit area, often treated as a scalar quantity. They also leam that unbalanced pressures cause fluids to flow. Winds are the flow of the atmosphere from regions of high to low...

Pollution Prevention. Procedures haven been developed for recovery of composite ammonium perchlorate propellant from rocket motors, and the treatment of scrap and recovered propellant to reclaim ingredients. These include the use of high pressure water jets or compounds such as ammonia, which form fluids under pressure at elevated temperature, to remove the propellant from the motor, extraction of the ammonium perchlorate with solvents such as water or ammonia as a critical fluid, recrystalli2ation of the perchlorate and reuse in composite propellant or in slurry explosives or conversion to perchloric acid (166,167). 

Thermochemical Liquefaction. Most of the research done since 1970 on the direct thermochemical Hquefaction of biomass has been concentrated on the use of various pyrolytic techniques for the production of Hquid fuels and fuel components (96,112,125,166,167). Some of the techniques investigated are entrained-flow pyrolysis, vacuum pyrolysis, rapid and flash pyrolysis, ultrafast pyrolysis in vortex reactors, fluid-bed pyrolysis, low temperature pyrolysis at long reaction times, and updraft fixed-bed pyrolysis. Other research has been done to develop low cost, upgrading methods to convert the complex mixtures formed on pyrolysis of biomass to high quaHty transportation fuels, and to study Hquefaction at high pressures via solvolysis, steam—water treatment, catalytic hydrotreatment, and noncatalytic and catalytic treatment in aqueous systems.
