Asphaltenes, Heavy Oils, and Petroleomics


Free Download Asphaltenes, Heavy Oils, and Petroleomics By Oliver C. Mullins (auth.), Oliver C. Mullins, Eric Y. Sheu, Ahmed Hammami, Alan G. Marshall (eds.)
2007 | 670 Pages | ISBN: 0387317341 | PDF | 21 MB
Petroleomics is the prediction of all properties of petroleum based on the Petroleome, or complete listing of all components in a given crude oil. As it is developed, petroleomics will lead petroleum science into a bright new future, and it is the major focus of this book. A necessary step has been to resolve the molecular size and structure of asphaltene and its hierarchical aggregate structures, as well as the dynamics of asphaltenes. This is especially important for heavy oils. Flow assurance concerns and interfacial science are also treated. The technological development of downhole fluid analysis addresses the most important issues in deepwater production of oil.Petroleum science and technology are treated in a vertically integrated manner. This book is indispensable for the scientist concerned with petroleum, heavy oils, interfacial science, or flow assurance. Science and technology are treated seamlessly; thus this book will also greatly benefit technologists who are concerned with the production of oil, refining of oil, or heavy oil processing.

English | ASIN: B0CNBJMF77 | 2024 | 9 hours and 2 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 262 MB
Author: Mark Morton, Ben Opipari
Narrator: Mark Morton

A gritty, revealing heavy metal memoir by Lamb of God’s lead guitarist and co-lyricist, which explores both his life in music and his tumultuous path through addiction and into recovery. DESOLATION is the story of Morton’s lifelong quest for clarity and self-acceptance, and shows how the pressures of career success and personal battles eventually came into conflict with Morton’s dedication to the creative process. Intertwined with addiction, self-destruction, and the path to eventual surrender and recovery, Morton also reveals the greatest personal tragedy of his life: the death of his two-day old daughter, plunging Morton further into hopelessness. Surrounded by bandmates living their wildest dreams, Morton wanted nothing more than to disappear, ingesting potentially lethal cocktails of drugs and alcohol into his system on a daily basis. And yet, amidst the harrowing heartbreak, there were moments of triumph, hope, and incredible personal connection.

The Pilum The Roman Heavy Javelin


Free Download M.C. Bishop, "The Pilum: The Roman Heavy Javelin "
English | ISBN: 1472815882 | 2017 | 80 pages | AZW3 | 8 MB
A heavy javelin, normally used as a shock weapon immediately before contact, the pilum was designed with a particular specialty: it could penetrate a shield and carry on into the individual behind it. Relying on mass rather than velocity, at short range a volley of pila had much the same effect on a charging enemy as musketry would in later periods. The design was not uniform, with a wide diversity of types throughout the developmental history of the weapon, but for more than four centuries it remained a vital part of the arsenal of weapons at the disposal of the Roman legionary.

From Mozart to Miles Davis, it is a matter of record that over many centuries composers and musicians have been consistently inspired by the occult. Few music lovers’ curiosity can fail to have been piqued by the rumours of magick and mysticism that surround many of their favourite records, and Mark Goodall’s Gathering of the Tribe: Music and Heavy Conscious Creation is a title capable of satisfying almost everyone. In chapters that range from ‘Jazz and the Spirit World’ to ‘Rock Music and the Occult’, Goodall sketches a fascinating overview of this intriguing and enduring relationship, offering en route a guide to the ultimate occult record collection, looking into some of the most brilliantly nefarious recordings and compositions of all time, ranging from the Beatles to the Stones, Led Zeppelin to Nick Cave, Captain Beefheart to the Wu Tang Clan, Debussy to Sun Ra, Throbbing Gristle, Charles Manson and many more. With further contributions from ― among others ― Mick Farren, David Kerekes and Mark Reeve, Gathering of the Tribe is looking like a definitive work on a hypnotising topic.

Modelling Heavy Industry A Guide for Railway Modellers


Free Download Arthur Ormrod – Modelling Heavy Industry: A Guide for Railway Modellers
Crowood Press | 2017 | ISBN: 1785003372 | English | 196 pages | PDF | 146.32 MB
Railway layouts often depict a branch line in a rural or urban setting, with the majority of locomotive models representing passenger trains. However, increasingly, ready-to-run models of industrial locomotives are becoming available, providing the unique opportunity to place them into an industrial context. This new book gives the guidance and inspiration to place these models in their natural, industrial environment. It gives step-by-step descriptions of several build projects including a gas holder, a cooling tower and an open hearth melting shop. The book shows how to make resin buildings, kits and scratch-building and demonstrates the construction of industrial struce models in a variety of scales. And finally the development of an industrial locomotove fleet, specialized rolling stock and road vehicles are covered.

This edited book brings together a diverse group of environmental science, sustainability, and health researchers to address the challenges posed by global mass poisoning caused by heavy metals contamination of soil and plants. In recent years, contamination of the environment by heavy metals has become a major concern. Their multiple industrial, domestic, agricultural, medical, and technological applications have led to their wide distribution in the environment, raising concerns over their potential effects on human health and the environment. Owing to their toxic, non-degradable, and bio-accumulative nature, the health burden on the population has increased significantly. Heavy metals such as arsenic, lead, mercury, cadmium, and uranium do not play a significant role in metabolism in the human body and are thus toxic. Their exposure in high concentration can cause acute toxicity resulting in acute health conditions, which is easy to observe and regulate, while similar is not visible for immediate action when their exposure is in trace amounts over the years. Heavy metals enter in the food chain through consumption of plant material. A high concentration of heavy metals has been found to be harmful to vegetation. As the heavy metals concentration in plants increases, it adversely affects several biological parameters and eventually renders the soil barren.

The selection and procurement of compressors and steam turbines for use in the chemical and process industry is highly interdisciplinary. The success of a project is determined by a number of areas of knowledge: from mechanical, electrical, materials and control engineering knowledge to thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and strength theory through to project management and quality control. In this guide, the individual steps are presented along the chronological chain, together with the basic decisions and pitfalls that need to be taken into account. The work is limited to custom-built machines that are specially optimized for a specific process and to gases and vapours as conveying media. It is presented from the operator’s point of view with a focus on high system availability, safety and favorable conditions for maintenance and servicing.
