In industry, the porosity of petrochemical reservoirs is measured frequently by coring and is an important property when trying to determine if a site is appropriate for drilling. Porosity can also be used in waste water treatment in order to determine if a material is ideal for water purification in industrial or residential applications. The purpose of this experiment was to simulate a oil re...

Anomalous velocity and porosity are often indicators of abnormal pore pressure. It is important, therefore, to be able to link velocity to porosity and rock texture in a rational, firstprinciple-based manner. The critical porosity concept allows for building such rock physics models. Critical porosity is the porosity above which the rock can exist only as a suspension. In sandstones the critica...

In this paper, we report an analysis of pressed paper in terms of porosity and permeability. Previously, we reported a pressed paper that exhibits decreased porosity and permeability. Additionally, its applications into programmed sample delivery as well as flow rate control were reported. However, there is a need for a theoretical analysis of pressed paper in terms of porosity and permeability...

Insightfully understanding the process of volatiles from plastic depolymerization entering exterior into internal structure catalyst favors to rationalize design in scale-up principles. Herein, catalytic degradation wastes with fluid cracking (FCC) was investigated in-depth. The yield and composition liquid gas products over various FCCs were studied quantitatively. structural evolution on over...

The effect of porosity on the elastic behavior of cast steel is investigated experimentally, and an approach for including porosity effects in finite element analysis (FEA) simulations is presented. Porous cast steel specimens are mechanically tested having apparent elastic moduli reduced between 17 and 61 pct. Analysis of radiographs and tomography is used to measure and reconstruct the porosi...

In this paper, we present two algorithms for shape-based porosity measures. Specifically, we describe two innovative attributes called perimeter porosity and area porosity as feature descriptors. Perimeter porosity refers to how “porous” or “weak” an image object is, while area porosity determines the degree of “branchiness” of an object. We show the applicability of the two measures through a ...

Porosity is a key parameter on thermal barrier coatings, directly influencing conductivity and strain tolerance. Suspension high velocity oxy-fuel (SHVOF) spraying enables the use of sub-micron particles as feedstock, increasing control over porosity introducing nano-sized pores; these fine-scale porosities being challenging to measure. Neutron scattering represents non-destructive technique, c...

For this study we selected 20 drill cores covering a wide range of depths (400-3000 m), from 15 wells, that provide a reasonable coverage of the field. Only andesite, the largely predominant rock type in the field, was included in this sample. We measured bulk density, grain (solids) density, effective porosity and (matrix) permeability on a considerable number of specimens taken from the cores...

Alongside volcanic eruptions in the middle and late Permian, sedimentary environment process changed, lithofacies characteristics varied conspicuously marine deposits of Sichuan Basin (China). The tuffaceous rocks, as a new type unconventional reservoir, provide strong evidence for influences on lithology reservoir potential rocks. With experimental studies relying field outcrops, thin sections...

Objective(s): Rapid healing of cutaneous leishmaniasis as one of the most important parasitic diseases leads to the decrease of scars and prevention of a great threat to the looks of the affected people. Today, the use of nano-scaffolds is rapidly increasing in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine with structures similar to the target tissue. Chitosan (CS) is a...
