The present disclosure relates to a method for determining the methane index of a hydrocarbon-containing combustion gas mixture which has natural gas or biogas, having the steps: flowing the gas mixture through a measuring assembly; determining a first value of a first measurement variable related to a viscosity of the gas mixture; determining a second value of a second measurement variable related to a density of the gas mixture; determining a pressure value of the gas mixture, said pressure value belonging to the first value and the second value; determining a temperature value of the gas mixture, said temperature value belonging to the first value and the second value; and determining the methane index as a function of the first value, the second value, the pressure value, and the temperature value.

A flue gas analyser for determining the efficiency of a burner burning a supply gas and producing a flue gas by: calculating an efficiency of the burner based on a detected amount of a first target gas in the flue gas and an expected amount of the first target gas in the flue gas; predicting an amount of a second target gas in the flue gas based on the efficiency of the burner; estimating a composition of the supply gas based on a detected amount of the second target gas in the flue gas and the predicted amount of the second target gas in the flue gas; and correcting the calculated efficiency of the burner based on the estimated composition of the supply gas.

A method for calculating in real time the methane number of a liquefied natural gas contained in a tank, in particular in an on-board tank.

The disclosure provides a method for measuring energy of natural gas, including determining first energy per unit volume of the target natural gas based on the carbon content; obtaining combustible component information in the target natural gas, and determining second energy per unit volume of the target natural gas based on the combustible component information; determining a difference between the first energy per unit volume and the second energy per unit volume; based on the difference, determining whether the first energy per unit volume and the second energy per unit volume are accurate by a deviation determination model; and if the first energy per unit volume and the second energy per unit volume are accurate, determining the energy of the target natural gas based on the first energy per unit volume, the second energy per unit volume, and the volume of the target natural gas.

A method for the detection of adulterated gasoline in a sample is disclosed. The method includes contacting a sample with an immobilized molecular probe, the immobilized molecular probe having a photoluminescence which is environmentally sensitive; collecting the photoluminescence from the immobilized molecular probe; and determining whether the photoluminescence is indicative of adulterated gasoline. A test strip for the detection of adulterated gasoline in a sample is also disclosed, including an immobilized molecular probe embedded in a substrate and/or immobilized to the substrate, the immobilized molecular probe having photoluminescence which is environmentally sensitive to adulterated gasoline. The method and test strips are designed to be robust, portable, and within the capabilities of untrained personnel.

A method includes providing a length of pipeline that has a housing defining a central bore extending the length of the pipe and a space formed within the housing and extending the length of the pipe. At least one condition within the space is continuously monitored within the space to detect in real time if a change in the housing occurs.

A method includes generating a 3D computer-coded model of a component and performing simulations on the model to determine an onset of gross plastic deformation in a plurality of regions of the component, wherein the model is stored in a computer-readable medium.

Systems and methods to provide low carbon intensity (CI) transportation fuels through one or more targeted reductions of carbon emissions based upon an analysis of carbon emissions associated with a combination of various options for feedstock procurement, feedstock refining, processing, or transformation, and fuel product distribution pathways to end users. Such options are selected to maintain the total CI (carbon emissions per unit energy) of the transportation fuel below a pre-selected threshold that defines an upper limit of CI for the transportation fuel.
