Carbonate reservoir rocks of different pore structure have quite distinct and detectable 4D seismic signatures. Using three defined pore structure types (PST), these seismic signatures are correlated with the permeability patterns of carbonate rocks. In both the high-permeability PST3 and intermediate-permeability PST2 regions, gas injection is preferred than water injection for effective 4D se...

the value of the permeability in fluid flow through porous media is important for process investigation. in low reynolds number, the classic darcy’s law is suitable for simulation of fluid flow. in this paper, an experimental study for evaluation of preformed fiber permeability has been done. also, the deviations from the classical darcy law by experimental and numerical simulation of the navie...

The following explores the issue of how reductions in contaminant loading to plumes will effect downgradient water quality. An idealized scenario of two adjacent layers of uniform geologic media, one transmissive and the other low permeability, is considered. A high concentration source, similar to a thin DNAPL pool, is introduced in the transmissive layer immediately above the low permeability...

A new method is developed to enhance the gas separation properties of mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) by interior modification of an inorganic nano-porous particle. Ship-in-a-bottle (SIB), as a novel synthesis strategy, is considered to encapsulate a polyaza macrocyclic Ag-ligand complex into the zeolite Y, which is resulted in a new host-guest nano-composite. It is consequently incorporated into...

Reservoir porous medium is random, in terms of oil and gas for low permeability reservoirs. Consider the random nature of the reservoir will enable to improve the accuracy of numerical reservoir simulation. Based on extensive research, for the stochastic nature of the reservoir from the two aspects of physical simulation, numerical simulation, the relevant international studies were reviewed. T...

Phase inversion cellulose acetate propionate membranes showed low permeability to hydrogen peroxide aqueous solutions. Their permeability was increased by alkaline hydrolysis of the ester linking units. However, the permeability remained lower than that of an unsubstituted cellulose membrane. The inclusion of hydroxypropyl cellulose in the membrane formulation, followed by an alkaline hydrolysi...

The inward permeability of the blood-retinal barrier to carboxyfluorescein was determined in 12 cynomolgus monkeys. Probenecid (175 mg/kg), an inhibitor of active outward transport of carboxyfluorescein, did not affect the inward permeability, indicating that the inward permeability is independent of the active outward transport system. However, acetazolamide (20 mg/kg), which causes increased ...

for better understanding the effect of nanofluid flow in a porous medium, a set of experiments were conducted on a horizontal glass micromodel for al2o3-water nanofluids. to characterize the flow of nanofluids the same experiment was done by pure water. the glass micromodel was constructed by a photolithography technique. the al2o3-water nanofluids were produced by a two-step method and no surf...
