The new EastMed pipeline
The Eastern Mediterranean (EastMed) pipeline will be designed to transport up to 15 billion cubic meters from the recently discovered […]
The gas turbine spool
The gas turbine (not to be confused with the homonymous machine), is an internal combustion engine used to transform by means […]
Evaporating water will power cars
A Columbia team has developed a miniature car that harnesses the power of evaporation to drive itself forward, as well as an evaporation-driven generator that powers a flashing LED lamp.
Solar and clean energy
In recent years there has been a revolution in the field of new photovoltaic materials. Among these the hybrid organic / inorganic ‘perovskites’ are able to convert 20% of solar energy into electrical energy.
Use of the fibers for the transport of heat
A recent study by the Institute for polymers, composites and biomaterials of the National Research Council (CNR) in Pozzuoli has brought out a new fiber properties, of great practical importance: the fibers not only act as reinforcing materials, but also have the function of transporting heat quickly along the longitudinal axis.
An alternative configuration to govern the plasma
The plasma is confined by means of a toroidal configuration of magnetic fields. The configuration used, on which is based […]
The regasification process
Within the cycle of production and transportation of natural gas (NG), the regasifier allows you to return your product from a liquid (LNG) used in maritime transport to a gas useful for the land transport and end use.
The seamless tubes (Mannesmann tubes)
In the past, the tubes were produced by casting in molds, by drilling of cylinders, by welding of curved sheet metal: quite unsatisfactory techniques, because the tubes so made not stand high pressures and were subject to deformation.
The promises of shale oil
Pyrolysis, hydrogenation, or thermal dissolution convert the organic matter in the rock (kerogen) in oil and synthetic gas.
Subsea pipelines
The use of subsea pipelines interesting now the most various engineering applications, and are finding great development especially in the field of oil and gas pipelines for the use of offshore fields but also in the hydraulic field for example for the construction of aqueducts for feeding the drinking water of islands, for the realization of the sections to sea outfalls effluents from the treatment plants or for the realizations of variants of tracks on the coastal for areas heavily populated.
