By using the method of moments, the values of diffusion coefficients of carbon dioxide in high-pressure polyethylene of two different thicknesses were determined at 25 °C. The values of diffusion coefficients determined with the accuracy of about ±3% are in good agreement both with the values obtained by the optimization method, and with the published values determined on the basis of asymptotic solutions of diffusion equations.

Abstract Molecular diffusion plays a critical role in gas injection in tight reservoirs such as liquid-rich shale. Despite recent efforts on measuring diffusion coefficients at high pressures, there is a general lack of the diffusion coefficients in live oil systems at reservoir conditions relevant to the development of these tight reservoirs. The reported diffusion coefficients often differ in orders of magnitude, and there is no consensus on the reliability of the common correlations for liquid phase diffusion coefficients, such as the extended Sigmund correlation. We employed the constant volume diffusion method to measure the high-pressure diffusion coefficients in a newly designed high-pressure tube. The experimental method was first validated using methane + hexadecane and methane + decane, and then used to measure the methane diffusion coefficients in two live oils at reservoir conditions. The obtained data were processed by compositional simulation to determine the diffusion coefficients. The diffusion coefficients measured for methane + hexadecane and methane + decane are in agreement with the existing literature data. For methane + live oil systems, however, the diffusion coefficients estimated by the extended Sigmund correlation are much lower than the measured results. An over ten times adjustment is needed to best fit the pressure decay curves. A further check reveals that for live oil systems, the reduced densities are often in the extrapolated region of the original Sigmund model. The curve in this region of the extended Sigmund correlation has a weak experimental basis, which may be the reason for its large deviation. The estimates from other correlations like Wilke-Chang and Hayduk-Minhas also give very different results. We compared the diffusion coefficients in high-pressure oils reported in the literature, showing a large variation in the reported values. All these indicate the necessity for further study on accurate determination of high-pressure diffusion coefficients in live oils of relevance to shale and other tight reservoirs.

An crystal-growth technique for single crystal x-ray structure analysis of high-pressure forms of hydrogen-bonded crystals is proposed. We used alcohol mixture (methanol: ethanol = 4:1 in volumetric ratio), which is a widely used pressure transmitting medium, inhibiting the nucleation and growth of unwanted crystals. In this paper, two kinds of single crystals which have not been obtained using a conventional experimental technique were obtained using this technique: ice VI at 1.99 GPa and MgCl<sub>2</sub>·7H<sub>2</sub>O at 2.50 GPa at room temperature. Here we first report the crystal structure of MgCl2·7H2O. This technique simultaneously meets the requirement of hydrostaticity for high-pressure experiments and has feasibility for further in-situ measurements.

The paper deals with the issues related to the pollution of aquatic ecosystems. The influence of turbulence on the transport and dispersion of pollutants in the mentioned systems, as well as the calculation of the turbulent diffusion coefficients are studied. A case study on the determination of turbulent diffusion coefficients for some sectors of the Prut River is presented. A new method is proposed for the determination of the turbulent diffusion coefficients in the pollutant transport equation for specific sectors of a river, according to the associated number of P�clet, calculated for each specific area: the left bank, the right bank and the middle of the river.

We carried out ab initio calculations on the crystal structure prediction and determination of P–T diagrams within the quasi-harmonic approximation for Fe7N3 and Fe7C3.
