A consistent thermodynamic model based on a combination of the Peng-Robinson equation state for gas components with an activity aqueous phase is utilized in this study to accurately evaluate performance geologic CO2 storage saline aquifers. To account thermal effects, enthalpy and conductivity are derived consideration dissolution brines. Several conceptual numerical setups variations parameter...

Since Pardoux and Peng introduced backward stochastic differential equation (BSDE), the theory of which has been widely used and developed, mainly because of a large part of problems in mathematical finance can be treated as a BSDE. However it is known that only a limited number of BSDE can be solved explicitly. To develop numerical method and numerical algorithm is very helpful, theoretically ...

Since a large amount of nanopores exist in tight oil reservoirs, fluid transport in nanopores is complex due to large capillary pressure. Recent studies only focus on the effect of nanopore confinement on single-well performance with simple planar fractures in tight oil reservoirs. Its impacts on multi-well performance with complex fracture geometries have not been reported. In this study, a nu...

A new apparatus based on a static-analytic method was developed in this work to perform high-pressure vapor-liquid equilibria measurements up to 68 MPa and 373 K. In order to validate this new apparatus, vapor-liquid equilibria of the binary system CO2 + ethanol was measured at temperatures of 313, 323 and 338 K and pressures from 1.2 to 11 MPa. Results were compared with data from the literatu...

An investigation of heat recovery for power generation using an absorption-Rankine cycle with a low temperature waste heat source was conducted. In such a cycle, the condenser and boiler of a conventional Rankine system are replaced with an absorber and desorber. A recuperative solution heat exchanger is also incorporated between the absorber and desorber to minimize the external heat input. An...

This paper presents a consistent LBM formulation for the simulation of a two-phase water–steam system. Results of initial model validation in a range of thermodynamic conditions typical for BoilingWater Reactors (BWRs) are also shown. The interface between the two coexisting phases is captured from the dynamics of the model itself, i.e., no interface tracking is needed. The model is based on th...

Detailed understanding of turbulent combustion in liquid rocket engines (LRE) requires an ability to predict the coupling between the transient features, acoustics, vortex/shear layer dynamics and the unsteady combustion heat release. Conventional and ad hoc models that mimic or match one set of conditions but fail in another test case cannot be used for reliable predictions. This paper present...
