To account for this effect, the physical aging of the glassy bridges between the filler particles is captured with two thermal degrees of freedom for the matrix material, namely a kinetic and a configurational one.
The shales have intermediate to high contents of total organic carbon (ranging from 0.24% to 5.82%) and low thermal evolution degree in an immature-mature stage.
Their TOC is in a wide range, generally 2 %–15 %, and the thermal evolution degree R o is low, generally 0.6 %–1.0 %.
It depicts the analytical representation of human's thermal comfort degree by two indices: predicted mean vote (PMV) and predicted percentage of dissatisfied (PPD).
This evaluation covers the built environment's moderation components impact at the weather, with the purpose for optimizing the thermal comfort degree in out of doors urban area.
From the experimental results, we observe that, in general, the oil incidence factor, oil expulsion factor and oil expulsion efficiency initially increased and then decreased as the thermal evolution degree increased.
Coal reservoirs in the Qinshui Basin are characterized by high thermal evolution degree, low permeability, low reservoir pressure, lower gas saturation and strong heterogeneity, so its coalbed methane (CBM) development is quite difficult.
We investigate the thermal properties, degree of crystallinity, and surface microstructure of several compositions of CPH : SA using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), and atomic force microscopy (AFM).
Under conditions of similar maturity, hydrocarbon gases generated from sapropelic-type kerogen usually had heavier δ13C1 than gases generated from humic kerogen; under the condition of similar kerogen type, the natural gases of high thermal evolution degree tend to have heavy δ13C1.
Various techniques such as weighing, size exclusion chromatography, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffractometry, and infra-red and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometries were used to monitor the changes in water absorption, weight loss, molar mass distribution, thermal properties, degree of crystallinity and composition.
