Riassunto

Natural Gas: Basic Science and Technology concentrates on aspects of gas industry operations which have a basis in physical science. Such aspects are surprisingly wide-ranging and, even in the relatively selective approach adopted in this book, areas covered include the sources and origins of natural gas; the physics of seismic exploration; the thermodynamics of gas and liquid systems; the development of instrumentation for measurement of high pressure flows and of calorific value; and the physics and chemistry of combustion processes relevant to utilization of natural gas. The aim is to give the physical scientist an appreciation of the application of physical techniques over the whole range of natural gas operations from discovery of utilization.
