    摘要: According to one embodiment disclosed in the present inventive concept, a method for diagnosing the lifespan of a pressure vessel is disclosed. The method for diagnosing the lifespan of the pressure vessel includes the steps of extracting a calorimetric sample from the pressure vessel or a surveillance test specimen, measuring the enthalpy amount, changes in the enthalpy amount, the specific heat capacity, or changes in the specific heat capacity of the extracted calorimetric sample; determining the amount of entropy change in the calorimetric sample based on the measured enthalpy amount, the measured changes in the enthalpy amount, the measured specific heat capacity, or the measured changes in the specific heat capacity; and determining the remaining lifespan of the pressure vessel based on the amount of entropy change in the calorimetric sample. In addition, various embodiments discernible through the specification are possible.

    摘要: Tools, processes, and systems for in-situ fluid characterization based on a thermal response of a fluid are provided. The thermal response of a downhole fluid may be measured using a downhole thermal response tool and compared with thermal responses associated with known fluids. The properties of the downhole fluid, such as heat capacity, diffusivity, and thermal conductivity, may be determined by matching the thermal response of the downhole fluid with a thermal response of a known fluid and using the properties associated with the known fluid. The composition of the downhole fluid may be determined by matching the viscosity of the downhole fluid to the viscosity of known fluid. A downhole thermal response tool for cased wellbores or wellbore sections and a downhole thermal response tool for openhole wellbores or wellbore sections are provided.

    摘要: The invention provides an improved method to predict the solubility of a drug or other molecule in a solid polymer or other matrix at any temperature. The instant invention provides a method to determine the difference in specific enthalpy, specific entropy and specific Gibbs energy between a solid solution and the unmixed components, as well as a method to use those data to predict the solubility of a drug or other molecule in a solid polymer or other matrix. The method uses known thermodynamics equations and thermal analysis data, such as obtained from DSC (differential scanning calorimetry) at temperatures that are lower than the temperature at which the solubility is predicted. The method allows prediction of the drug-in-polymer solubilities without the use of elevated temperatures, but still avoids impractically long experiments. The instant invention can predict the solubility at many temperatures, but is particularly useful in the pharmaceutical sciences to predict the solubility of a drug in a polymer at typical storage temperatures, which are typically near room temperature or below.

    摘要: The accuracy of instruments used to measure the specific heat of heat transfer fluids is limited by the accumulation of bubbles, debris or loose surface films on an active measurement surface. Accumulated bubbles, debris or loose film may be reduced or eliminated by using an agitator to cause relative motion between a working fluid and an active surface of a specific heat sensor. The accumulation of bubbles, debris or loose film may also be reduced or eliminated by electrolytically cleaning an electrically conductive heat transfer surface.
