A method for stimulation of hydrocarbon production via imbibition by utilization of surfactants. The method includes use of fuzzy logic and neural network architecture constructs to determine surfactant use.

Imbibition well stimulation via neural network design

A muffler (10) for use in conjunction with an interfloor tube and aspirator (20) during the production of multifilament, synthetic yarn is provided. Audible noise which is emitted at the inlet end of the interfloor tube is reduced by up to 10 .DELTA.db(A) through the use of a perforated tube (11), restrictor plate (13) and sound absorbing material (16).

Interfloor tube aspirator inlet muffler

A muffler (50,50') for use in conjunction with a plurality of aspirators during the production of multifilament, synthetic yarn is provided. The exhaust tubes (32) of the aspirators are clustered for discharge by and through the muffler (50,50') which reduces audible noise collectively emitted at the exit ends of the exhaust tubes (32) by as much as 16 .DELTA. dB(A) and more. The noise is reduced and any waste yarn transported through the use of a plurality of perforated tubes (59,59'), resonant cavities (61,61'), and sound absorbing material (62,62').

Muffler

A muffler for use in conjunction with a high intensity, low frequency noise-propagating open pipeline is disclosed. The muffler features an acoustically lined expansion chamber in tandem with a reasonator chamber. The length of the expansion chamber is approximately 25 percent of the wavelength to be attenuated. An exit tube, which passes through the resonator chamber to lead from the expansion chamber to the muffler outlet, is partially perforated with the perforations being restricted to at most the 50 percent of the exit tube closer to the muffler outlet. Audible noise which is emitted by the open pipeline is reduced by up to 30 dB and 11 .DELTA. dB(A) and brought to within acceptable levels.

Vacuum pump exhaust muffler

A muffler is provided for use in conjunction with a jet for treating a running length of yarn. Audible noise which is emitted by the jet is reduced by at least 11.5 .DELTA.dB(A) through the use of a housing to substantially enclose the jet. The housing has openings for the entrance and exit of a yarn and is at least partially lined with sound absorbing material; sound absorbing material also closes the openings in the housing. The travelling yarn abrades through the sound absorbing material at the openings to form an operational passage to and from the jet.

Jet muffler

A noise reduction system is disclosed for use with a draw point localizing jet which has yarn passages, a string-up slot, and conduits for admitting treating fluid thereinto. The system comprises an exhaust muffler and access slot silencing means. The exhaust muffler comprises a housing lined with removable inserts of heat resistant, metallic sound absorbing material. The exhaust muffler has a hinged door operating in conjunction with the access slot silencing means. The muffler and access slot silencing means open and close for string-up and operation. The system lowers the overall noise level of the jet by muffling the noise sources during operation.

Noise reduction system

An insert is disclosed to reduce noise for apparatus to prevent melted yarn stopped in high temperature yarn texturing jet. The insert is a cylinder at the outlet of the orifice emitting a cooling, diluting and diverting fluid, such as air, to prevent yarn when stopped in the steam texturing jet from being melted. The insert comprises a cylinder having a series from about 5 to 10 cylindrical openings evenly distributed across the orifice and with axes parallel to the orifice axis. The cylindrical openings preferably have a length to diameter ratio of from about 5 to about 10.

A muffler for use in conjunction with an interfloor tube and aspirating means during the production of multifilament, synthetic yarn is provided. Audible noise which is emitted at the exit end of the interfloor tube is reduced by up to 33.5 .DELTA.dB(A) and brought to within acceptable levels through the use of a perforated tube, resonant chambers, and sound absorbing means.

Interfloor tube aspirator muffler

A muffler for use in conjunction with an aspirator during the production of multifilament, synthetic yarn is provided. Audible noise which is emitted at the inlet end of the aspirator is reduced by up to 22.5 .DELTA.dB(A) and brought to within acceptable levels through the use of a perforated tube, resonant chamber, and sound absorbing means. The tension of the aspirated yarn is maintained by finishing the muffler inlet end with a high RMS surface.
