Finding Work of Compression with a Thermodynamic Chart Hydrogen sulfide is to be compressed from 100°F and atmospheric pressure to SOpsig. The isentropic efficiency is 0.70. A pressure-enthalpy chart is taken from Starling (Fluid Thermodynamic Properties for Light Petroleum Systems, Gulf, Houston, TX, 1973). The work and the complete thermodynamic conditions for the process will be found.

A number of reviews related to the identification of sulfur compounds in petroleum should be mentioned. Dean and Whitehead (30) summarized work on separation and identification of sulfur compounds in petroleum and shale oil in 1967. Drushel (7) reviewed sulfur compound types with an emphasis on the available analytical methods as of 1970. Mehmet (31) and Gal pern (32) also reviewed sulfur compounds in petroleum in 1971 with some speculation on their origin. The major contributions of API Project 48 reported by Coleman et al. in 1971, Rail et al. in 1972, and Thompson in 1981 will be discussed below (33-35) More recent summaries of sulfur compounds by Aksenov and Kamyanov in 1981 (36) and by Gal pern in 1985 (37), discuss OSC in petroleum, processed petroleum fractions, shale oil, coal derived liquids and related products. These reviews include much of the Soviet literature. In 1975 and 1978 Orr (28-291 discussed sulfur in the petroleum system with somewhat... 

The effect of dissolved impurities on C.S.T. was observed by Crismer. The C.S.T. of ethanol petroleum system was raised by 17°, by the presence of only 1% of water in ethanol. The C.S.T. of methanol and cyclohexane system is 45.55°. The presence of 0.01 % of water in methanol raises the C.S.T. of the ssytem to 45.65°. The presence of armoatic hydrocarbons in petrol can be detected and estimated by determining the C.S.T. of petrol-aniline system. Similarly, the amount of ceresin in wax can be determined. The biological importance of C.S.T. is in testing the functioning of kidney. A kidney producing urine which raises the C.S.T. of urine-phenol system by 8° is in good order. The kidney is exceedingly well if the C.S.T. is raised by 12° to 16°. 

The Grayson-Streed method was developed for hydrogen-petroleum systems at high temperatures and pressures, i.e., hydrofining conditions. Thus the constants, including some critical temperatures and pressures, differ slightly from those recommended in the Chao-Seader method. 

The U.S. petroleum system is massive. It includes 161 oil refineries 2,000 oil storage terminals approximately 220,000 miles of crude oil and oil products lines and more than 175,000 gasoline service stations (NRC, 2002). The lifetimes of this capital stock vary considerably. Crude and product pipelines, refineries, and terminals have extremely long...
