Abstract: Method for predicting amounts of biogenic gas generated by biological conversion of organic matter deposited in sediments on the geological time scale. Bioreactive structural units having formulae CxHyOvSzNw with x>6, y>x, v<6, z<6 and w<6 are considered. A sample of a rock of the sedimentary series is then taken at a depth close to the surface, such that said rock has not been subjected to any biodegradation, and amounts of each bioreactive structural unit present in this sample are determined. A reaction scheme is defined in which the bioreactive structural units react in parallel with electron acceptors, and each of the bioreactive structural units reacts sequentially with these electron acceptors. Finally, the amount of biogenic gas produced by biodegradation of the bioreactive structural units is determined by means of the reaction scheme and the amounts of each structural unit present in the sample.

Abstract: Method of determining the compositional evolution of fluids present in a porous medium as a result of biodegradation. A biodegradation compositional scheme is defined from twelve chemical classes allowing the hydrocarbons and the gases resulting from biodegradation to be described. The initial amount of each one of these chemical classes contained in the fluids before biodegradation is determined. A reaction scheme is then defined for biodegradation, wherein the chemical classes react with electron acceptors according to parallel reactions having different velocities, and each class reacts with these acceptors according to sequential reactions. The biodegradation reaction velocities are determined for each class. The composition of the fluids is then deduced by assessing the amount of each chemical class by applying the reaction scheme. The composition of the biodegraded hydrocarbons, as well as the amount of acid gas and of methane produced, are notably deduced.

Abstract: Injection element of coaxial design for rocket combustion engines and for operation with two propellants, at least one of which disintegrates into drops with difficulty only, comprising a central body for the more readily disintegrating propellant (oxidant), whose flow channel generates a conical drop distribution at the outlet; a sleeve concentrically surrounding the central body to form an annular flow channel for the less readily disintegrating propellant (fuel); and a flow splitter which splits this propellant flow into a plurality of individual flows. The flow splitter has an even number of passage channels, which are uniformly distributed around the central body and cooperate in pairs in terms of an impact atomization ("impinging"), wherein the axes of two adjacent passage channels each intersect downstream of the flow splitter and upstream of their points of impact on the propellant cone discharged from the central body.

A display panel bisects the outer first flange forming a flange section extending along the periphery of each side of the display panel. The step section has a U-shaped flange depending from the display section and a rectangular flange spaced inwardly the outer flange, below the display section. A rider display panel is mountable on the display section and includes an outer rectangular flange and a display panel extending therewithin. A pair of clamps are attached to the bottom of the rider display and are adapted to fit the first flange of the display section.
