Supersonic separation technology is a new approach to condense and separate water,
heavy hydrocarbons and other impurities from natural gas. This paper reviews the research …

New experiments have succeeded in measuring actual rates of nucleation and are revealing
the shortcomings of classical nucleation theory, which assumes that the molecular-scale …

The real gas effect was not taken into account in the current nucleation models, which will
cause relatively big errors in the simulation of condensation process, and the supersonic …

We report a computer-simulation study of the absolute rate of homogeneous gas–liquid
nucleation in a Lennard-Jones system. The height of the barrier has been computed using …

Supersonic separation is a promising technology for purifying natural gas by removing
impurities like H 2 O and heavy hydrocarbons. The condensation process of natural gas has …

Nucleation rate measurements of water in the presence of nitrogen as a carrier gas are
reported at total pressures near 10, 25, and 40 bar, and temperatures of 230 and 250 K. The …

Binary-gas condensation characteristics in supersonic nozzles are numerically simulated
using the Euler–Euler two-fluid model with the RSM turbulence model. The effects of carrier …

Although today's literature on nucleation rate measurements is extensive, the available
amount of high pressure data is quite surveyable. Yet, high pressure measurements can …

The supersonic condensation process of methane-vapor-nonane mixture was investigated
in a supersonic nozzle. First, the physical model of the ternary mixture of the supersonic …

A theoretical approach is presented that accounts for the influence of high pressure
background gases on the vapor-to-liquid nucleation process. The key idea is to treat the …
