Modeling and Simulation for Steady State and Transient Pipe Flow of Condensate Gas
Condensate gas is mainly demonstrated by methane. However, it also contains a lot of heavier contents like C5 or C5+ and some non-hydrocarbon mixture as well (Mokhatab et al, 2006). After recovering from gas wells, condensate gas needs liquid separation, gas purification and condensate stabilization treatment in the processing plant to meet the quality requirements. Processing plants far away from the gas well with long distances of two-phase flow in one condensate gas pipeline will take less investment than adjacent process plant with two single phase pipelines which are dry gas pipeline and liquid phase pipeline (Li, 2008). If the operation temperature somewhere in the condensate gas pipeline is lower than the gas dew point, liquid condensation would occur, subjecting the pipeline to two phase flow (Potocnik, 2010). While gas and its condensate flow simultaneously, mass transfer takes place continuously due to the change in pressure and temperature conditions. This leads to compositional changes and associated fluid property changes and also makes the hydraulic and thermal calculations of condensate gas more complex than normal gas. The condensate gas pipeline model which is established and solved based on the principle of fluid mechanics can simulate hydraulic and thermal parameters under various operation conditions. By means of technical support, this model is of great importance in the pipeline design and safety operation aspects (Mokhatab, 2009)

WebGIS-based Natural Disaster Information System of China
We have constructed China natural disaster information system utilizing open source WebGIS framework. Through comparisons and researches on different WebGIS system structures, implementation patterns, spatial database management patterns and several popular software, open source WebGIS platform MapServer, PostgreSQL+PostGIS (spatial database and spatial data engine), client-side browser framework openLayer were used. This system have basic function of web information publishing, spatial data storage and management, and it collects natural disaster information that have been publishing on the internet through grabing internet information, and based on the analysis to the text information, different kinds of natural disaster information databases were constructed. Additionally, locations of the disaster occurred were combined to provide map services, and the system is able to meet multi-user access issues, and have functions of thematic mapping, query and statistics, charting and output, et.al

GeoDjango-Framwork-based Population and Social Economic Information System For China
We have constructed China population and social economic information system based on open source geographic Web framework GeoDjango. By comparing different WebGIS system structures, implementation patterns, spatial database management patterns and mainstream popular open source APIs, open source WebGIS framework GeoDjango, MVT pattern, Python and MySQL database, client-side browser framework openLayer were implemented. The database system utilized a Top-Down design method — DATAID-D to establish distributed database, and construct a uniform encoding standard, through normalized processes of the statistic yearbook, we constructed population and social economic database. This system has basic functions of web information publishing, spatial data storage, distributed management and spatial query. Additionally, the system is able to meet multi-user access issues, and have functions of population and economy data visualization, thematic mapping, query and statistics, charting and output, et.al
Rare earth engineering in RMnSn topological kagome magnets
Exploration of the topological quantum materials with electron correlation is
at the frontier of physics, as the strong interaction may give rise to new
topological phases and transitions. Here we report that a family of kagome
magnets RMnSn manifest the quantum transport properties analogical to
those in the quantum-limit Chern magnet TbMnSn. The topological
transport in the family, including quantum oscillations with nontrivial Berry
phase and large anomalous Hall effect arising from Berry curvature field,
points to the existence of massive Dirac fermions. Our observation demonstrates
a close relationship between rare-earth magnetism and topological electron
structure, indicating the rare-earth elements can effectively engineer the
Chern quantum phase in kagome magnets.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, 1 tabl
