Abstract The tight oil reservoir rocks in the Jidong Oilfield are generally characterized by high hardness, strong abrasiveness, and extremely unevenness, which seriously reduce drilling efficiency. In view of this problem, mineral composition, plasticity coefficient, drillability were first determined. It was found that rock integrity, compactness hardness main factors leading to low breaking ...

An experimental investigation was performed of the acoustic effects of jet-pylon interaction for separate flow and chevron nozzles of both bypass ratio five and eight. The models corresponded to an approximate scale factor of nine. Cycle conditions from approach to takeoff were tested at wind tunnel free jet Mach numbers of 0.1, 0.2 and 0.28. An eight-chevron core nozzle, a sixteen chevron fan ...

A one-dimensional method-of-characteristics (MOC) code was developed to examine the venting of pulse detonation engines. Comparison with experimental results and twodimensional computational fluid dynamics demonstrates that a reasonably accurate level of simulation can be achieved with a single spatial dimension. A semi-empirical, deflagrative, flame-acceleration model was also constructed and ...

Measurements were made of the flow field structure and the near field parameters of a jet exhausting from a sonic nozzle with a 1.27 cm exit diameter. Compressed air was used for obtaining stagnation pressures up to ~ 5 atmospheres. The jet exhausted vertically from a settling chamber into an acoustically insulated room and through an insulated duct out through the roof. Measurements were made ...

A continuous near-field electrospray process has been developed to deposit micropatterns. Different from traditional electrospray technologies, the nozzle-to-substrate distance was shortened to less than 5 mm, and a glass capillary nozzle with a diameter of tens of microns was used. Steady and continuous ejection was achieved, and patterns with line widths of sub-100 μm were generated. The infl...

We examine the effect of baseline nozzle shape on the ability of fan flow deflectors to reduce downward-emitted turbulent mixing noise of coaxial jets simulating the exhaust condition of a turbofan engine. Several deflector concepts were tested on a nozzle with parallel exit flow lines and a nozzle with convergent flow lines. In every comparison the nozzle with convergent flow lines produced su...

Waterjet breakup is traditionally considered to follow the Ohnesorge classification. In this classification, high Reynolds number waterjets are considered to atomize quickly after discharge. By generating a constricted waterjet where the water flow stays detached all the way through the nozzle, we have observed the first wind-induced breakup mode at high Reynolds numbers. Such a peculiar behavi...

The deposition stability and homogeneity of microparticles improved with mask, lengthened nozzle and flow rate adjustment. The microparticles can be used to encapsulate monomers, before the monomers in the microparticles can be deposited onto a substrate for nanoscale self-assembly. For the uniformity of the synthesized nanofilm, the homogeneity of the deposited microparticles becomes an import...

SUMMARY Temperature measurements, using the SLR method, are presented for the expansion of nitrogen in nozzles attached to a shock-tube. The measurements were made at an area ratio of 8.5 in a two-dimensional nozzle and at an area ratio of 152 in a conical nozzle. Initial conditions were such that at the entrance to the nozzles the temperature ranged between about 2500 K and 5300 K and the pres...
