  2. Volumetric efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volumetric_efficiency

    It also denotes the ratio of equivalent air volume drawn into the cylinder to the cylinder's swept volume. [5] This equivalent volume is commonly inserted into a mass estimation equation based upon Boyle's Gas Law. When VE is multiplied by the cylinder volume, an accurate estimate of cylinder air mass (charge) can be made for use in determining ...

    Gas undergoes a slight expansion when the temperature is raised from 15 °C (59 °F) to 60 °F and this expansion is built into the above factor for gas. The standard temperature and pressure (STP) for gas varies depending on the particular code being used. [2] It is just as important to know the standard pressure as the temperature.

  4. Gas cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_cylinder

    A gas cylinder quad, also known as a gas cylinder bundle, is a group of high pressure cylinders mounted on a transport and storage frame. There are commonly 16 cylinders, each of about 50 litres capacity mounted upright in four rows of four, on a square base with a square plan frame with lifting points on top and may have fork-lift slots in the ...

  5. Allocation (oil and gas) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allocation_(oil_and_gas)

    The quantity Q could be mass or energy as well as volume. The allocation calculations are carried out per phase, for example oil, gas and water respectively. Example with calculations to illustrate the principle of proportional allocation. Assume that the flows of separated oil from two production units go to a common storage tank.

    FPO – floating production and offloading – vessel with no or very limited (process only) on-board produced fluid storage capacity. FPSO – floating production storage and offloading vessel; FPU – floating processing unit; FRA – fracture log; FRARE – fracture report; FRES – final reserve report; FS – fail safe; FSB – flowline ...

  7. Oil and gas reserves and resource quantification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_and_gas_reserves_and...

    The materials balance method for an oil or gas field uses an equation that relates the volume of oil, water and gas that has been produced from a reservoir and the change in reservoir pressure to calculate the remaining oil & gas. It assumes that, as fluids from the reservoir are produced, there will be a change in the reservoir pressure that ...

  8. Cascade filling system - Wikipedia

    P 2 and V 2 the initial pressure and volume of the other cylinder and P 3 is the equilibrium pressure. An example could be a 100-litre (internal volume) cylinder (V 1) pressurised to 200 bar (P 1) filling a 10-litre (internal volume) cylinder (V 2) which was unpressurised (P 2 = 1 bar) (resulting in both cylinder equalising to approximately 180 ...

  9. Compression ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_ratio

    Absolute cylinder pressure is used to calculate the dynamic compression ratio, using the following formula: = where is a polytropic value for the ratio of specific heats for the combustion gases at the temperatures present (this compensates for the temperature rise caused by compression, as well as heat lost to the cylinder)
