Study of Spatial Distribution of Pore Fluids on Effective Thermal Conductivity of Rocks
Numerical simulations conducted on rock images in order to find out effects of fluid distribution and heat flow direction in porous media.Micro CT images obtained from sandstones and sandpack samples published by Imperial College Consortium on Pore Scale Modeling used in this study and Maximal Inscribed Balls, a two step algorithm that decribes the void sapce applied to constructed 3D images of rock samples. Fluid distribution within the porous medium simulated assuming capillary pressure to be the only force that controls pore scale fluid configuration and advancement of immiscible fluid displacement.
Design and Construction of a High Pressure and High Temperature Apparatus for Measuring Rock Thermal Conductivity
A precise and accurate steady state device designed and built for investigating the effects of pressure,temperature and filling fluid on thermal conductivity of consolidated rocks equipped with lateral heaterswhich decrease heat loss from blocks to surrounding environment. As shown in picture, the device includes seven elemental parts including oilbaths, fused quartz standards, thermocouple steel blocks, hydraulic jack, steel frame, core holder andlateral heaters
DEVELOPING DIRQ SOFTWARE, DRA INJECTION RATE CALCULATION
2016DIRQ written in C# language based on an in-house developed correlation that assist field operators and engineers to optimize Drag Reducing Agent injection rate to reach planned and desired pressure reduction or throughput increase in pipelines and flowlines carrying low to moderate viscosity crude oil. It can be coupled to Pipesim or any well flow modeling software, for modeling well flow rate boost calculation in cases that excessive pressure loss in flowlines choke back the production rate
