This book presents a comparison of different methods for generating PVT properties of volatile oil and gas-condensate reservoir fluids determined that PVT properties generated with the Whitson and Torp method agree the best with full EOS compositional simulation. Also, a new oil-gas ratio correlation for volatile oil and gas condensate reservoir fluids is developed. According to our knowledge, no correlation to calculate oil-gas ratio exists i...

Evaluation of performance of irrigation systems is one from many solutions of water problems. This study compares the artificial neural network (ANN) approach with analytical solutions namely exact solution and dimensionless analysis, in order to predict of the performance and energy losses of irrigation systems. Three irrigation systems were chosen for their widely used now days in EGYPT, those systems were gated (perforated) pipes system, so...

To estimate topical absorption of molecules, the most convenient membrane is human skin. But its availability is limited. Thus, animal skin is commonly used. Due to ethical issues that prevent the use of animal skin in testing of pharmaceutical products, reconstructed skin equivalents have been developed to use as alternative models for human and animal skin. The aim of this study was the optimization of rat epidermal keratinocyte (REK) organo...
