Gas Processing

This book is dedicated to seismic exploration, processing, and interpretation. The aim of this volume is to make the interconnections among the different disciplines of petroleum science and engineering like: seismic earth modeling, seismic earth imaging, and three dimensional (3-D) seismic exploration, processing and interpretation.

Since the publication of its Third Edition, there have been many notable advances in ceramic engineering.

Steady-State Chemical Engineering Simulation & Process Modeling using Aspen Plus V11

This book is intended for scientists and engineers in the field of micro- and nano­ electro-mechanical systems (MEMS and NEMS) and introduces the development of cantilever-based sensor systems using CMOS-compatible micromachining from the design concepts and simulations to the prototype. It is also a useful resource for researchers on cantilever sensors and resonant sensors in general The reader will become familiar with the potential of the combination of two technological approaches: IC fabrication technology, notably CMOS technology, and silicon micromachining and the resulting microstructures such as cantilever beams. It was recognized early that these two technologies should be merged in order to make the microstructures smart and devise integrated microsystems with on-chip driving and signal conditioning circuitry - now known as CMOS MEMS or, with the arrival of nanostructures, CMOS NEMS. One way to achieve the merger is the post-processing micro- or nano- machining of finished CMOS wafers, some of which is described in this book. The book introduces this approach based on work carried out at the Physical Electronics Laboratory of ETH Zurich on arrays of cantilever transducers with on-chip driving and signal conditioning circuitry. These cantilevers are familiar from Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) and allow the sensitive detection of phys­ ical quantities such as forces and mass changes. The book is divided into three parts. First, general aspects of cantilever resona­ tors are introduced, e. g. their resonant behavior and possible driving and sensing mechanisms.

Initially considered as a sub-class of ionic liquids, eutectic mixtures are formed by mixtures of low cost, often biodegradable Lewis or Bronsted acids and bases. Eutectic mixtures have gathered a growing scientific interest by the academic and industrial communities as they are interesting for many applications ranging from metal processing to biomass treatment or pharmaceuticals.
