As an alternative to sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) with great potential for application, heptafluoroisobutyronitrile–carbon dioxide (C4F7N–CO2) gas mixture has been applied in various gas-insulated equipment. The insulation performance of the gas mixture is closely related to the mixing ratio. Therefore, accurate quantification of C4F7N in the C4F7N–CO2 gas mixture has very important engineering significance. At present, there are few reports on the rapid quantitative detection of the concentration of C4F7N in the gas mixture. In this paper, a rapid analytical method for C4F7N concentration based on ultraviolet (UV) absorption spectroscopy is constructed. The UV spectral characteristics of C4F7N molecules are calculated by density functional theory. The appropriate bands that can be detected are determined by analyzing the calculated results. A concentration detection system of C4F7N based on UV absorption spectroscopy is built. Through analysis of the calculated results and experimental results, a quantitative detection method of C4F7N in the C4F7N/CO2 gas mixture is determined. The method can achieve accurate detection of the concentration of the gas mixture in the conventional application range (including 4–10% C4F7N). The coefficient of the determination R2 of the concentration inversion curve reaches 0.999 and the inversion error ratio does not exceed 5%. The related research results provide an important reference for the engineering application of the gas mixture.

Binary diffusion coefficients are reported for the systems He–CO2, He–N2O, and He–SF6. In agreement with the Chapman–Enskog theory the concentration dependence of the diffusion coefficient of each system increases with the mole fraction of the heavier component.

<p>Age of air is an idealized tracer often used as a measure of the stratospheric circulation. We will show how to quantitatively relate age to the diabatic circulation and the adiabatic mixing. As it is an idealized tracer, age cannot be measured itself and must be inferred from other tracers. Typically, the two primary trace gases used are sulfur hexafluoride and carbon dioxide. Other tracers have a compact relationship with age, however, and can also be used to calculate age. We will discuss a range of tracer measurements from both satellites and in situ, including sulfur hexafluoride, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane, and the ratio of argon to nitrogen. We will compare the age derived from these different species, including different calculation methods and caveats, and compare with modeled ideal age and trace gas concentrations. We conclude by showing the strength of the diabatic circulation and the adiabatic mixing calculated from these trace gas calculations.</p>

In addressing carbon emissions as the primary contributor to climate change, a study was conducted to examine the total carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emitted into the atmosphere from the production of crude oil and gas in the two largest producing regions of the U.S: the Permian Basin (PB) and the Gulf of Mexico (GOM). The objective of this report is not to compare the carbon intensities between PB and GOM, but rather to understand the causes of deviations observed between the two Basins, particularly in the years 2016 to 2018. This report details the initiative, including the research of emissions and production data from three federal agencies: the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM). High-level analysis was conducted on six greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane, sulfur hexafluoride, perfluorocarbons, and hydrofluorocarbons. Some major findings of this study include the establishment of a clear trend in which GHG emission rates increase as production increases. The mean carbon intensity, derived from the log normal distribution, for PB production and GOM production was determined to be 14.83 ± 3.374 kg CO2e/BOE and 7.86 ± 2.32 kg CO2e/BOE, respectively, for the year 2018 with 95% confidence interval. While three years of data is not sufficient to conclude a trend, both GOM and PB experienced lower carbon intensity rates in 2017 compared to 2016 and a higher carbon intensity rate in year 2018 compared to 2017. The primary causes for the PB’s higher carbon intensity are flaring practices, transportation, hydraulic fracturing and weather-related impacts, which will be further discussed in this report.
