The Marine Controlled Source ElectroMagnetic (marine CSEM) is a geophysical method used by the oil industry to investigate resistive targets in the sediments under the ocean floor. In this work we simulate marine CSEM data including 1D, 2.5D and 3D modeling. The results obtained with ... Read More
CO2 capture and storage constitutes a promising solution to control and reduce these emissions. Wellbore integrity is a key challenge to ensure long term safety and for public acceptance. For this objective, a two-phase flow model in porous media based on Darcy’s law has been proposed to ... Read More
Droplet generation in microfluidics is a powerful technique to get monodispersed emulsions and droplet size manipulation can be very advantageous in a wide area of applications such as pharmaceuticals, drug delivery, food products, chemical synthesis and biomedical applications. In the ... Read More
There are over 10 million kilometers of pipes and pipelines around the world that carry hazardous fluids and gases. Fluids include oil, oil products, chemicals such as solvents, caustics, acids, corrosives and combustibles often at high pressure and temperature. These pipes are ... Read More
Magnetic separation of magnetic liquid phases/particles from non-magnetic liquid phases/particles are needed for applications such as cleaning up oil spills by separating oil and water liquid phases or separating magnetic materials from non-magnetic materials in biomedical and ... Read More
This paper deals with the simulation of mathematical model for supercritical extraction. Reverchon, 1996 extracted sage oil using supercritical extraction method from sage leaves at 9 MPa and 50 ᵒC. Four mean size of sage leaves ranging from 0.25 to 3.10 mm were taken for extraction with ... Read More
2015年由美国大发起页岩气革命成功地使美国从油气进口国转变为油气出口国。这使得页岩气成为能源领域关注的热点。页岩气与煤炭和石油相比更为清洁,且储量更为丰富。开发页岩气的两项关键技术是水平井钻井技术和压裂改造地层技术。 然而,由于页岩相比于其他岩石水化学活性更强,导致在水平井钻穿储层过程中井壁极容易垮塌失稳。油基泥浆的使用可以克服上述问题,但成本昂贵且受环保限制。水基泥浆的普及依赖于对页岩水化的深入理解。在页岩水化反应过程中,温度场、离子浓度场、渗流场、应力场均不同程度地作用在井壁周围岩石,而且相互耦合作用随时间不断变化 ... Read More
The paper demonstrates that for some models a 2D geometry in Cartesian coordinates can be used to obtain a 3D solution with changes in z-direction. A heat exchanger serves as an example of a practical application. The required flow rate in a straight cooling pipe penetrating ... Read More
Methanol synthesis is a typical reaction in heterogeneous catalysis. In this work, we have studied a laboratory fixed-bed reactor packed with a Cu/Zn/Al2O3 catalyst in both adiabatic and isothermal tubular operational modes. A methanol synthesis kinetic model was implemented in COMSOL ... Read More
Delayed Coking is a refining process, which takes heavy petroleum residue as a feed. A 2D axisymmetric stationary model was created to simulate this pre-run condition with nitrogen gas, as an attempt to calibrate the model before simulating with an oil residue. The single-phase laminar ... Read More
