Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThermo-Acoustic Water Analyzer in Hydrocarbon Emulsions with Kalman FilterMohammad A. Al-Khedher, Tariq M. Younes, Mohammad A.K. AliaProblem statement: Water detection in hydrocarbon emulsions represents a serious challenge in petroleum production industry. The elemenation of measurment noises is also desired. Approach: In this study, a systematic and an applicable method of water detection in hydrocarbon emulsion is achieved using thermoacoustic effect. A Kalman filter is applied to correct measurement errors and to improve accuracy. Results: The study … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 5 · 6 Mar 2012 · 7,316 accessesView PDFCite

Kannappan, R. Kesavasamy, V. PonnuswamyThe ultrasonic velocity, density and viscosity measurements were carried out for the mixtures of benzamide with Propan-2-ol, butan-1-ol, 1-pentanol and n-hexanal in 1,4-dioxan at 303, 308 and 313K. The derived acoustic and thermodynamic parameters namely adiabatic compressibility, free length, free volume, internal pressure, viscous relaxation time and Gibbs free energy were evaluated with a view to investigate the nature of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,277 accessesView PDFCite
