Review of Subsea Pipeline for Minimizing Thermal and Pressure Expansion
Abstract: As the offshore oil and gas fields have been exploited in deeper water, subsea pipelines are required to operate at high temperatures and pressures. It causes subsea pipelines to be more subject to movements both in lateral and axial directions due to the loads produced by high temperatures and pressures. Some high temperature pipelines have experienced the cumulative axial displacement of an overall pipeline length over a number of start-up/shut-in …

Identification of Elements Exist in Area Around Khartoum Petroleum Refinery Using Spectroscopic Method
Abstract: Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a method of atomic emission spectroscopy (AES) that uses a laser-generated plasma as the hot vaporization, atomization, and excitation source. Plasma is often called the fourth state of matter. The various states of matter occur as a substance is heated to temperatures corresponding to thermal energies above the binding energies for particular state of matter. Structured systems placed in a sufficiently hot environment. LIBS technique …

Effect of Strong Column Weak Beam Concept on Seismic Capacity of Buildings of Varying Heights: A Review
Abstract: The strong-column-weak-beam (SCWB) layout philosophy in which plastic deformation is authorized to arise most effective with inside the beams whilst the columns continue to be basically elastic is broadly followed in seismic layout codes for metallic second frames. Under this yield mechanism, the seismic strength is dissipated ordinarily with the aid of using the plastic hinges with inside the beams and on the column bases. The relative plastic flexural capacities …
