Foam flooding (or injection of foam) is a common technology to enhance oil recovery. Although the effects of permeability on foam flooding were well studied in many laboratory experiments, little research has been focused on the specificity of low permeability. In this paper, a series of constant-quality nitrogen foam flow experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of permeability on...

The melting flow and heat transfer of copper-oxide coconut oil in thermal energy storage filled with a nonlinear copper metal foam are addressed. porosity the changes linearly from bottom to top. phase change material (PCM) is into pores, which form composite PCM. natural convection effect also taken account. average porosity; distribution; pore size density; inclination angle enclosure; nanopa...
