Development of Undergraduate Natural Gas Engineering Laboratory at New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology

该项目开发了一个实验室，以配合高级讲座课程“天然气工程”。讲座课程包含气体性质、流量测量和气体处理的信息。实验课程包含八个实验，旨在帮助学生更好地了解天然气的性质和操作：(1)膜片计，(2)气体重力测定，(3)气体粘度，(4)气相色谱仪，(5)逆行冷凝，(6)平衡常数，(7)水合物形成，(8)由于逆行冷凝导致的渗透率降低。获得的新设备包括气相色谱仪、取样阀、鲁斯卡泵和反应器。

This project develops a laboratory to accompany a senior lecture course, Natural Gas Engineering. The lecture course contains information on gas properties, flow measurements, and gas processing. The laboratory course contains eight experiments designed to help students have a better understanding of the natural gas properties and operations: (1) diaphragm meter, (2) gas gavity determination, (3) gas viscosity, (4) gas chromatograph, (5) retrograde condensation, (6) equillibrium constants, (7) hydrates formation, and (8) permeability reduction due to retrogade condensates. The new equipment obtained includes a gas chromatograph, sampling valve, Ruska pump and a reactor.
