Simulation Model for Photosynthetic Production in Oilseed Rape

Photosynthetic production is a major determinant of final yield in crop plants. A simulation model was developed for canopy photosynthesis and dry matter accumulation in oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) based on the ecophysiological processes and using a three-layer radiation balance scheme for calculating the radiation interception and absorption by the layers of flowers, pods, and leaves within the canopy. Gaussian integration method was used to calculate photosynthesis of the pod and leaf layers, and the daily total canopy photosynthesis was determined by the sum of photosynthesis from the two layers of green organs. The effects of physiological age, temperature, nitrogen, and water deficit on maximum photosynthetic rate were quantified. Maintenance and growth respiration were estimated to determine net photosynthetic production. Partition index of the shoot in relation to physiological development time was used to calculate shoot dry matter from plant biomass and shoot biomass loss because of freezing was quantified by temperature effectiveness. Testing of the model for dynamic dry matter accumulation through field experiments of different genotypes, sowing dates, and nitrogen levels showed good fit between the observed and simulated data, with an average root mean square error of 10.9% for shoot dry matter. Thus, the present model appears to be reliable for the prediction of photosynthetic production in oilseed rape.

A Hybrid Model Predictive Control for Handling Infeasibility and Constraint Prioritization

A hybrid approach using MLD (mixed logical dynamical) framework to handle infeasibility and constraint prioritization issues in MPC (model predictive control) based on input-output model is introduced. By expressing constraint priorities as propositional logics and by transforming the propositional logics into inequalities,the infeasibility and constraint prioritization issues are solved in the MPC. Constraints with higher priorities are met first, and then these with lower priorities are satisfied as much as possible. This new approach is illustrated in the control of a heavy oil fractionator-Shell column. The overall control performance has been significantly improved through the infeasibility and control priorities handling.

Catalytic cracking mechanisms of tar model compounds

B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) method was used to investigate the catalytic cracking mechanism of biomass tar model compound.Phenol,toluene and benzene were selected as the tar model compounds and CaO was selected as the catalyst.The pathways of tar compound radical absorbed by CaO were determined firstly through comparing enthalpy changes of the absorption,and then Mulliken population changes were analyzed.The results show that the absorption of tar model compound radical and CaO is an exothermic reaction.Formation of C—O—Ca is more easily than that of C—Ca—O and formation of Caromatic—Caromatic—Ca—O is more easily than that of Caromatic—C(O)—Ca—O.The C—C bond Mulliken populations in tar model compound radicals are reduced by 11.9%,10.5% and 15.5% in the case of a hydrogen atom removed,and those are 15.7%,14.3% and 16.3% in the case of two hydrogen atoms removed through the absorption of CaO.Catalytic ability of CaO acting on the tar model compound is in an order of phenol>benzene>toluene.

Adsorption behavior of petroleum asphaltenc Adsorption model

Asphaltene is one of the most heavy components, asphaltene adsorption is a serious problem in oil production and processing. In this paper, the progress in the investigation of asphaltene adsorption from the aspects of adsorption model and adsorption behavior is reviewed. Asphaltene of adsorption model include the Langmuir, Freundlich, Langmuir-Freundlich, Rcdlich-Pctcrson, BET adsorption isothcrm. The adsorption behavior of asphaltene was characterized by a variety of structure-probing methods such as N：-adsorption, X-ray diffraction （XRD）, small-angle X-ray scattering （SAXS） measurements, and FT-IR spectroscopy. To understand better the adsorption progress of petroleum, asphaltene must understand the whole adsorption behavior of asphaltene.

Identification model of multi-layered neural network parameters and its applications in the petroleum production

This paper creates a LM (Levenberg-Marquardt) algorithm model which is appropriate to solve the problem about weights value of feedforward neural network. On the base of this model, we provide two applications in the oilfield production. Firstly, we simulated the functional relationships between the petrophysical and electrical properties of the rock by neural networks model, and studied oil saturation. Under the precision of data is confirmed, this method can reduce the number of experiments. Secondly, we simulated the relationships between investment and income by the neural networks model, and studied invest saturation point and income growth rate. It is very significant to guide the investment decision. The research result shows that the model is suitable for the modeling and identification of nonlinear systems due to the great fit characteristic of neural network and very fast convergence speed of LM algorithm.

Seismic to Reservoir Simulation by Cooperative Inversion

Cooperative inversion for petroleum reservoir characterization produces an Earth model that fits all available geological, geophysical and reservoir production data to within acceptable error criteria. The mathematical formulation for the inversion requires an appropriate modeling description of both seismic wave propagation and reservoir fluid flow. The inversion requires the minimization of an objective function which is the weighted sum of model misfits for both geophysical and production data. While the complete automation of cooperative inversion may be unrealistic or intractable, geophysical data can provide useful information for enhancing heavy oil production. A methodology is given to demonstrate possible cooperative inversion application in heavy oil reservoirs.

Changes in production potentials of rapeseed in the Yangtze River Basin of China under climate change:A multi-model ensemble approach

Rapeseed is one of the major oil crops in China and it is very sensitive to climate change.The Yangtze River Basin is the main rapeseed production area in China.Therefore,a better understanding of the impact of climate change on rapeseed production in the basin is of both scientific and practical importance to Chinese oil industry and food security.In this study,based on climate data from 5 General Circulation Models(GCMs) with 4 representative concentration pathways(RCPs) in 2011–2040(2020 s),2041–2070(2050 s) and 2071–2100(2080 s),we assessed the changes in rapeseed production potential between the baseline climatology of 1981–2010 and the future climatology of the 2020 s,2050 s,and 2080 s,respectively.The key modelling tool – the AEZ model – was updated and validated based on the observation records of 10 representative sites in the basin.Our simulations revealed that:(1) the uncertainty of the impact of climate change on rapeseed production increases with time;(2) in the middle of this century(2050 s),total rapeseed production would increase significantly;(3) the average production potential increase in the 2050 s for the upper,middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Basin is 0.939,1.639 and 0.339 million tons respectively;(4) areas showing most significant increases in production include southern Shaanxi,central and eastern Hubei,northern Hunan,central Anhui and eastern Jiangsu.

The Stability Criterion Model and Stability Analysis of Waxy Crude Oil Pipeline Transportation System Based on Excess Entropy Production

Based on the theory of non-equilibrium thermodynamics, considering the dynamic effect of molecular diffusion and the change in thermodynamic parameters caused by wax precipitation, the phenomenological relations of different thermodynamic "force" and "flow" interactions were derived. The corresponding thermodynamic model of a waxy crude oil pipeline transportation system was built, and then, the excess entropy production expression was proposed. Furthermore, the stability criterion model of the pipeline transportation system was established on the basis of Lyapounov stability theory. Taking the oil pipeline in Daqing oilfield as an example, based on the four parameters of out-station temperature, out-station pressure, flow rate and water content, the stable and unstable regions of the system were divided, and the formation mechanisms of the two different regions were analyzed. The experimental loop device of wax deposition rate was designed, and then, the wax deposition rate under the four parameters was measured. The results showed that the stable region of the wax deposition rate fluctuation was basically in accordance with the stability region analyzed by the criterion model established in this paper, which proved that the stability criterion model was feasible for analyzing the stability of the waxy crude oil pipeline transportation process.
