  • Behavior of Mixtures of Heavy Oil Stocks and Waxes
    BEHAVIOR OF MIXTURES OF HEAVY OIL STOCKS AND WAXES A Thesis Submitted to the College of Engineering of Nahrain University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Chemical Engineering by SARMAD KAMAL FAKHRALDEEN (B. Sc. in Chemical Engineering 2004) Thul - Hijjah 1428 December 2007 Abstract Experimental work is carried out to study behavior of mixture of mixing of two types of waxes (paraffin and microcrystalline) and different types of heavy oil (base stock 40, base stock 60, base stock 150, furfural extract 60 and furfural extract 150). The experimental work included the determination of important properties of mixture which are drop point, penetration, and copper corrosion. Also the experimental work included the investigation of the effect of wax weight percentage, wax type and heavy oil type on these properties of mixture. Various types of mixtures were used containing different percentages of waxes and heavy oil. The results revealed that the wax weight percentage and oil type have considerable effect on the drop point, penetration and copper corrosion of mixtures. It is found that increasing wax weight percentage leads to increase in the drop point for all types of mixture. The penetration and copper corrosion are found to decrease with the increase in wax weight percentage. Generally the microcrystalline wax exhibits higher drop point than the paraffin wax. Also the microcrystalline wax gives lower penetration and copper corrosion than paraffin wax in all heavy oil types. The value of drop point of different types of mixtures increases in the following manner for same type of wax and wax weight percentage: base stock oil 40, base stock oil 60, furfural extract oil 60, base stock oil 150 and I furfural extract oil 150, The value of penetration of mixtures and increases in the following manner for same type of wax and wax weight percentage: furfural extract oil 150, base stock oil 150, furfural extract oil 60, base stock oil 60 and base stock oil 40.

No part of this publication may be reproduced without the written permission of the copyright owner. ii Abstract The study of flow dynamics in complex geometry vessels is highly important in many biomedical applications where the knowledge of the mechanic interactions between the moving fluid and the housing media plays a key role for the determination of the parameters of interest, including the effect of blood flow on the possible rupture of atherosclerotic plaques. Doppler Optical Coherence Tomography (DOCT) is an optic, non-contact, non-invasive technique able to achieve detailed analysis of the flow/vessel interactions, allowing simultaneously high resolution imaging of the morphology and composition of the vessel and of the flow velocity distribution along the measured cross-section. DOCT system was developed to image high-resolution one-dimensional and multi-dimensional velocity distribution profiles of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids flowing in vessels with complex geometry, including Y-shaped and T-shaped vessels, vessels with aneurism, bifurcated vessels with deployed stent and scaffolds. The phantoms were built to study the interaction of the flow dynamics with different channel geometries and to map the related velocity profiles at several inlet volume flow rates.

  • WILLIAM GREGORY Morfina, Cloroformo Y Ácido Hipúrico

Año. 2020. e-ISSN: 2221-2450 REVISION BIBLIOGRAFICA WILLIAM GREGORY Morphine, chloroform, and hippuric acid WILLIAM GREGORY Morfina, cloroformo y ácido hipúrico Jaime Wisniak Department of Chemical Engineering, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Beer-Sheva, Israel, 84105 Recibido: 28 de enero de 2020; Aceptado: 12 de marzo de 2020; ABSTRACT William Gregory (1803-1858), an English physician turned chemist, carried extensive research on a wide variety of subjects in inorganic, organic, and biochemistry. His most important contribution was the development of a new method for separating morphine from opium, based on extraction with water, precipitation with ammonia, and treatment with HCl. This method was faster, had a very high yield, and avoided the use of alcohol, an expensive reagent. Therapeutic tests showed that Gregory's morphine hydrochloride was more efficient and economical than the painkillers used at that time. Gregory studied uric acid and the preparation and properties of several of its derivatives, among them alloxan, alloxantin, ammonium dialurate, dialuric acid, ammonia acid thionurate, and alloxanic acid. Gregory developed also a very efficient process for preparing glycocoll, for purifying chloroform and making it a safer anesthesia, based on washing it with sulfuric acid. He also proved that lead sulfite, used for extracting sugar cane, was not toxic to humans, and developed an efficient modification of Baup's procedure for preparing potassium iodide. Keywords: chloroform; hippuric acid; iodides; morphine;sugar; uric acid. RESUMEN William Gregory (1803-1858), médico inglés convertido en químico, llevó a cabo una amplia investigación en temas de química inorgánica, orgánica, y bioquímica.

  • Odic Force As Explanatory of Clairvoyance | Central Info
    Supplement 1: Odic Force as Explanatory of Clairvoyance | Central Info... http://library.antiquatis.org/od/sup1.html Central Information Fear, Power, Knowledge, Clarity and Wisdom Home » Reichenbach's Letters on Od and Magnetism Supplement 1: Odic Force as Explanatory of Clairvoyance Submitted by Carl von Reichenbach on Sat, 02/22/2014 - 09:50 SUPPLEMENT I Odic Force as Explanatory of Clairvoyance THE present volume is issued as a book of "fundamentals," the contention being that these fundamentals still hold good in the main, notwithstanding the advances made since Reichenbach's death in 1869 in all branches of science, among which the advances made in psychic science itself must not be forgotten. It is not intended to set up any foolish contention that rectifications of Reichenbach's work will not be found necessary in instances : but it is for professional scientists to point these instances out. For this reason no attempt is here made to commentate either the text of the Letters on Odic Magnetism or that of the passages set on record in this Supplement and Supplement II. But, as Gustav Theodor Fechner, late professor of physics in the University of Leipsic, remarks in his Memories of the Last Days of the Odic Theory [ad fin.'], Reichenbach's work on psychic phenomena has been so exhaustive, so scientifically conducted, and recorded with such patient precision, that all future investigators will be bound to follow its elaborator along the path on which he is a pioneer, until it is definitely shown what sections of his track, if any, must be abandoned by science.

  • Animal Magnetism
    Animal magnetism Animal magnetism, also known as mesmerism, was the name given by German doctor Franz Mesmer in the 18th century to what he believed to be an invisible natural force (Lebensmagnetismus) possessed by all living things, including humans, animals, and vegetables. He believed that the force could have physical effects, including healing, and he tried persistently but without success to achieve scientific recognition of his ideas.[1] The vitalist theory attracted numerous followers in Europe and the United States and was popular into the 19th century. Practitioners were often known as magnetizers rather than mesmerists. It was an important specialty in medicine for about 75 years from its beginnings in 1779, and continued to have some influence for another 50 years. Hundreds of books were written on the subject between 1766 and 1925, but it is almost entirely forgotten today.[2] Mesmerism is still practised as a form of alternative medicine in some countries, but magnetic practices are not recognized as part of medical science. Contents Etymology and definitions "Magnetizer" "Mesmerism" Royal Commission Royal Academy investigation Mesmerism and hypnotism Vital fluid and animal magnetism Social skepticism in the Romantic Era Political influence Mesmerism and spiritual healing practices Contemporary development Professional magnetizers See also Notes References Further reading Etymology and definitions "Magnetizer" The terms "magnetizer" and "mesmerizer" have been applied to people who study and practice animal magnetism.[3] These
