The hunt for knowledge: hunting in Latin didactic poets
No full textMy dissertation explores the use of hunting in five didactic poems as a means to characterize their attitudes towards the human ability to acquire true understanding. Lucretius’ De Rerum Natura, Vergil’s Georgics, Ovid’s Ars Amatoria, Grattius’ Cynegetica and Nemesianus’ Cynegetica—didactic poems written in Latin from the first century BCE to the third century CE—respond to questions of human perception and knowledge in different ways, but they all use the hunt to represent the human search. Lucretius’ De Rerum Natura uses hunting as a metaphor for the reader’s actions, and parallels himself, his philosophical forefather Epicurus, and the reader to dogs hunting out proofs and ataraxia, “freedom from care,” the goal or prey of the Epicurean hunt. According to Lucretius, this hunt has the potential to be successful: humankind can obtain its ultimate goal of ataraxia if it follows Epicureanism. Vergil’s Georgics is less optimistic about the ability of humankind to be successful in their hunt for knowledge. Farmers, the protagonists of the Georgics, are presented as knowing how to hunt and can follow the tracks of Justice, but there is no indication that they obtain it. The poem closes with the myth of Aristaeus, which displays the deceitful nature of prey (Proteus) to humankind (Aristaeus) and presents man’s imperfect methods for capturing knowledge. Ovid’s Ars Amatoria, a playful didactic about seduction, similarly puts forth a pessimistic view of human knowledge via hunting metaphors. The reader’s education, presented as a hunt for the beloved, ultimately backfires and his knowledge fails him, as violently allegorized in the myth of Cephalus and Procris in Book 3. Grattius’ Cynegetica makes the figurative use of the hunt into the literal subject of the poem, but Grattius’ hunting poem is also an exploration of knowledge and morality. It reasserts an optimistic view of knowledge while at the same correcting Lucretius’ Epicurean moral and religious views. I finish by looking at Nemesianus’ Cynegetica, which provides a useful contrast to the previous works since the surviving fragment turns away from metaphysical and epistemological questions in favor of practical advice and literary reflection.Ph.

Gas dissolution phenomena in crude oil production
No full textReducing the size of offshore separator vessels can result in large economic and safety advantages, in terms of space saving, mobility and installation costs. Yet the lack of knowledge and understanding regarding the rapid evolution of gas following a sudden reduction in pressure, has so far hampered any significant size reduction in surface separating facilities. Following a review into the needs of the offshore oil and gas industry, and a review of the literature concerning the behaviour of gases in liquids, a fully instrumented thermodynamically enclosed rig facility was designed to study the non steady-state conditions created during, and immediately after, the rapid depressurization of a gas-saturated liquid. The mechanisms of gas evolution and the processes controlling the rate of gas evolution were investigated using techniques predominantly experimental in nature. The test conditions, in what is essentially a pressure vessel, included initial saturation pressures up to 30 bara, liquid temperatures up to 60oC and salinities up to full saturation. The range of gases, CO2, N2, O2, Ar and CH4, were investigated in water, brine (NaCl) solutions, two distillate oils, kerosene and gas oil and Statfjord crude, under controlled conditions. Owing to their industrial significance, exploratory tests were carried out using mixed gas compositions of N2 and CO2, and oil/water mixes.Video evidence of events during depressurization and subsequent recovery was recorded and correlated with the pVT data. Gas evolution and hence pressure recovery to equilibrium occurred predominantly by bubbling, although pressure recovery by molecular diffusion was apparent over the latter stages of the approach to equilibrium for all gases. Owing to the dissociation reaction of CO2 in water, a more complex gas evolution pattern and a slower rate of approach to equilibrium, by ~2 orders of magnitude, was observed with CO2 in water compared to the other gases in water. In addition, the extent of dissociation of CO2 in brine, compared with that in tap water, was found to significantly influence the rate of gas evolution. In kerosene, the behaviour of CO2 was found to be similar to that of the other gases tested, where equilibrium was generally reached within seconds of depressurization. The main factors which were found to significantly increase the rate of gas evolution included the initial liquid temperature, fluid agitation and the addition of solid nuclei, in the form of 5μm uni-sized silica flour particles. The rate of gas evolution was not found to be significantly influenced by the purity of the water.</p
