Assessing risk to fresh water resources from long term CO2 injection–laboratory and field studies
Abstract In developing a site for geologic sequestration, one must assess potential consequences of failure to adequately contain injected carbon dioxide (CO2). Upward migration of CO2 or displacement of saline water because of increased pressure...

A comparative study between parabolic trough collector and linear Fresnel reflector technologies
Abstract The production of electricity from solar radiation is a direct process. Solar energy is not very dense, it is necessary to concentrate it to produce exploitable temperatures usable for the production of electricity. The radiation may...

Assessing environmental impacts from geological CO2 storage
Abstract For any project that is supported by a risk analysis, the assessment generally needs to evaluate the consequences of health, safety and the environmental (HSE) impacts, and geological CO2 storage projects are no exception. To date, however, ...

Coupled non-isothermal, multiphase fluid flow, and geomechanical modeling of ground surface deformations and potential for induced micro-seismicity at the In Salah CO2 storage operation
Abstract We present recent results of coupled non-isothermal, fluid flow and geomechanical modeling associated with the In Salah CO2 storage operation at the Krechba gas field, Algeria. Much recent modeling efforts have been dedicated to analyze...

In Salah CO2 injection modeling: A preliminary approach to predict short term reservoir behavior
Abstract A short term performance assessment methodology under development and validation at the In Salah CO2 storage site is presented. The progressive approach first concludes of the necessity to consider a dual media reservoir system at Krechba...

Optimized Design on the Width and Spacing of the Cross Passageway in Tunnels
Abstract Cross passageways have been commonly applied in the evacuation system of tunnels, and the width and spacing of the cross passageways decide the evacuation capacity of the tunnel. In design, increasing the width of the cross passageways and...

Realization of a calorimetric gas sensor on polyimide foil for applications in aseptic food industry
Abstract A calorimetric gas sensor is presented for the monitoring of gas-phase H2O2 at elevated temperature during sterilization processes in aseptic food industry. The sensor consists of two temperature-sensitive thin-film resistances built up on...

Shear wave sensors for viscoelastic properties
Abstract Electromechanical resonators are sensitive to the properties of the surrounding medium due to interaction forces onto the surface caused by motions in the medium. In the present contribution, fully metallic Lorentz force resonators...

Nondestructive assessment of elbow wall-thinning in a pipe system
Abstract A major problem encountered in piping systems in the nuclear power plant and heavy chemical industries is pipe wall thinning due to corrosion-erosion or impingement attack. Since this can result in a leak, it is important to develop a...
