The accurate prediction of wellbore temperature distribution helps to accurately estimate well pressure profile and bottom-hole pressure (BHP) which is important in the under-balanced drilling (UBD) operation. In this paper effect of temperature variation due to heat transfer of drilling fluid with the formation and also oil and gas production from the reservoir into the annulus in under-balanc...

Two phase gas-liquid flow pattern in a horizontal pipeline is predicted very accurately using a newly-developed analytical relation. The pattern identification is based on one of the most widely used graphs, the Baker diagram, modified in a way that compensates for the unrealistic oversimplifications of recent works. The Kern's method of pressure drop calculation is used to obtain the frict...

In this paper, the Shan–Chen-type (SC) multiphase lattice Boltzmann model was used to study the viscous coupling effects for immiscible two-phase flow in porous media. In the model, any typical equation of state can be incorporated and different contact angles of the gas–liquid interface at a solid wall can be obtained easily through adjusting the ‘density of wall’ (Benzi et al., Phys. Rev. E 2...

We present experimental visualizations of gas flow around solid blunt bodies by NMR imaging. NMR velocimetry is a model-free and tracer-free experimental means for quantitative and multi-dimensional flow visualization. Hyperpolarization of (129)Xe provided sufficient NMR signal to overcome the low density of the dilute gas phase, and its long coherence time allows for true velocity vector mappi...

Bubble column (BC) or slurry bubble column (SBC) reactor has emerged as one of the most promising devices in chemical, biochemical and environmental engineering operations because of its simple construction, isothermal conditions, high heat and mass transfer rates, and on-line catalyst addition and withdrawal. The present work has been carried out to characterize the dynamics of three-phase flo...

A single–phase flow model was used to analyze the uniformity of field in desulfurization tower under different baffle combinations, and a multiphase explain gas solid two–phase characteristics chemical reaction tower. The stability behavior solids one furnace two towers discussed. results show that installation shielding plates at appropriate positions for sulfur removal is beneficial enhance u...

coriolis mass flow meters are one of the most accurate tools to measure the mass flow in the industry. however, two-phase mode (gas-liquid) may cause severe operating difficulties as well as decreasing certitude in measurement. this paper presents a method based on fuzzy systems to correct the error and improve the reliability of these sensors in the presence of two-phase model fluid. definite ...

Abstract Gas-solid two phase flow widely lies in industry process, while its parameters measurement (flow velocity, the mass flowrate, particle sizes, et al.) is very difficult. This paper mainly studies solid velocity questions of gas-solid with ring electrostatic sensor. During study, a new mathematical model sensor established, and by simulating obtained spatial filter characteristics are ob...
