Pressure logarithm

The accuracy of hydrate data has seldom been specified by experimentalists. In the following data, only a cursory effort has been made to exclude inaccurate data for simple hydrates. All three-phase data sets for simple hydrates were plotted (as logarithm pressure versus absolute temperature) to determine outliers.

To analyse the complete pressure/volume curve simple statistical methods were applied The p/V curves of every single measurement are linear interpolated and then evaluated on a fixed lattice of points at the logarithmic pressure scale.

In this first example, we will reproduce the logarithmic pressure solution for radial flow starting with a trivial uniform flow in an auxiliary plane. To do this, let us consider the logarithmic mapping... 

So far we have treated two-dimensional planar flows. However, many three-dimensional problems are also amenable to analytical solution. To proceed, we introduce the notion of the point spherical source. Actually, the concept is best taught through global mass conservation considerations. We consider two-dimensional flows first. First, the radial Darcy velocity is proportional to dp/dr. This, times the area 2cr in planar problems, must be constant hence, in such flows, dp/dr goes like 1/r, which on integration leads to the expected logarithmic pressure. In three dimensions, dp/dr x 4 7t r must remain constant thus, dp/dr goes like l/i, so that p(r) varies like 1/r. This describes the point spherical source. We could also have started more formally with the spherically symmetric form of Laplace s equation,...

In the simplest case, for a pressure drawdown survey, the radial inflow equation indicates that the bottom hole flowing pressure is proportional to the logarithm of time. From the straight line plot ot pressure against the log (time), the reservoir permeability can be determined, and subsequently the total skin of the well. For a build-up survey, a similar plot (the so-called Horner plot) may be used to determine the same parameters, whose values act as an independent quality check on those derived from the drawdown survey.

The fugacity coefficient of thesolid solute dissolved in the fluid phase (0 ) has been obtained using cubic equations of state (52) and statistical mechanical perturbation theory (53). The enhancement factor, E, shown as the quantity ia brackets ia equation 2, is defined as the real solubiUty divided by the solubihty ia an ideal gas. The solubiUty ia an ideal gas is simply the vapor pressure of the sohd over the pressure. Enhancement factors of 10 are common for supercritical systems. Notable exceptions such as the squalane—carbon dioxide system may have enhancement factors greater than 10. Solubihty data can be reduced to a simple form by plotting the logarithm of the enhancement factor vs density, resulting ia a fairly linear relationship (52). 

H2O/100 kg of adsorbent. At equilibrium and at a given adsorbed water content, the dew point that can be obtained in the treated fluid is a function only of the adsorbent temperature. The slopes of the isosteres indicate that the capacity of molecular sieves is less temperature sensitive than that of siUca gel or activated alumina. In another type of isostere plot, the natural logarithm of the vapor pressure of water in equiUbrium with the desiccant is plotted against the reciprocal of absolute temperature. The slopes of these isosteres are proportional to the isosteric heats of adsorption of water on the desiccant (see... 

Extensive tabulations of Antoine parameters are available for many chemicals of importance to engineers, chemists, and environmental scientists (9,19,20). Caution is in order when using tabulated Antoine constants because several forms of the correlating equation are found in the Hterature. In particular, there are variations in the sign before the second term, the units of temperature, and the use of natural or decimal logarithms of the vapor pressure.

To reduce the work of compression in this cycle a two-stage or dualpressure process may be usedwhereby the pressure is reduced by two successive isenthalpic expansions. Since the isothermal work of compression is approximately proportional to the logarithm of the pressure ratio, and the Joule-Tnomson cooling is roughly proportional to...

The low-coverage parts of the adsorption isotherms evaluated at different temperatures have shown a remarkable feature of linear dependence between the adsorption and the logarithm of gas pressure. This sort of behavior corresponds to the well-known Temkin equation of adsorption... 

The last quantity that we discuss is the mean repulsive force / exerted on the wall. For a single chain this is defined taking the derivative of the logarithm of the chain partition function with respect to the position of the wall (in the —z direction). In the case of a semi-infinite system exposed to a dilute solution of polymer chains at polymer density one can equate the pressure on the wall to the pressure in the bulk which is simply given by the ideal gas law The conclusion then is that [74]...

A graphical representation as shown in Figure 19.11. This is drawn in the logarithm-logarithm format and allows a rapid estimate of pressure loss to be expected. Note that this particular chart is in imperial units and is drawn for use with town gas. A correction for specific gravity would be needed for natural gas. 

Since rms pressure variations have to be measured in the range 20 x 10 N/M to 200 N/M (a range of 10 ) it can be seen that an inconveniently large scale would have to be used if linear measurements were adopted. Additionally, it has been found that the ear responds to the intensity of a sound (a P ) in a logarithmic way. The unit that has been adopted takes these factors into account and relates the measured sound to a reference level. For convenience, this is taken as the minimum audible sound (i.e. 20 x 10 N/M) at 1 K. 

The logarithm (to the base 10) of the ratio of the perceived pressure (squared) to the reference pressure (squared) is known as the Bell, i.e.
