Drill-in-fluids create what are known as filter cakes. Filter cakes, in some cases, lead to well abandonment because they prevent hydrocarbons from flowing freely the formation into wellbore. Cake removal is essential avoid damage. A previous study on cake breakers was considered for computational fluid dynamic (CFD) validation. Matlab-CFD and Navier-Stokes equations aimed at predicting validat...

Mud Recycle is a process option for cane diffuser factories; it eliminates the need for a filter station by using the bed of shredded cane in the diffuser to separate out mud solids from the juice. This paper describes the Mud Recycle system at Maidstone mill and presents the results of a Mud Recycle trial that was carried out during the 1998 season. Maidstone switched to Mud Recycle on a perma...

The Republic of Kazakhstan ranks first in the world extraction natural uranium by underground borehole leaching. During drilling and construction technological wells, mud is formed, which main waste product mining enterprises. issues utilization mud, its secondary processing possible use various sectors national economy are relevant for oil-producing industries. A comprehensive study soil sampl...

LUSI mud obtained from the mud volcano in Sidoarjo, Indonesia, is a viable aluminosilicate material to be utilized as pozzolanic material. LUSI is an abbreviation of the local name of the mud, i.e., Lumpur Sidoarjo, meaning Sidoarjo mud. This paper reports the results of an investigation to assess the pozzolanic activity of LUSI mud, especially in semi high volume pozzolanic mortar. In this cas...

Beside the twist drill, the effects of various drill geometries were rarely discussed in analytical fashion. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of delamination in use of various drill types, such as saw drill, candle stick drill, core drill and step drill. In this analysis, the critical thrust force at the onset of delamination is predicted and compared with the twist drill. © 2003 El...

Among the power drills ( Electrical/ Pneumatic/Battery ) used in Orthopedic surgery, battery drill has got several advantages. Surgeons in low resource settings could not routinely use Orthopedic battery drills (OBD) due to the prohibitive cost of good drills or poor quality of other drills. “Hardware” or Engineering battery drill (HBD) is a viable alternative to OBD. HBD is easy to procure, ru...

To overcome strong drilling force and over high temperature during orthopedic surgery, the four medical drills with different geometrical shapes by using superhard materials were designed. The bone drilling temperature field of superhard drill was theoretical analyzed. Results showed that brazed step drill has the most ideal drilling temperature. It controls the maximum bone temperature below 4...

Performances of two common types of red mud, Bayer red mud and Sintering red mud, were investigated in this research. Their compositions, mechanical properties and microstructure characterization were measured through XRD, TG and SEM analysis. Their shear strength, particle size, density and hydraulic characteristics also had been performed. Huge differences between the basic mineral types of t...
