A study is presented of high-pressure squeeze films between flat disks which approach each other at a constant velocity. The dependence of the viscosity of the oil on the fluid temperature and pressure is included in the momentum and energy equations. A single dimensionless parameter which involves only fluid properties determines whether the load capacity will be greater or less than that predicted by an isoviscous analysis. Excellent agreement is found between the results of a numerical analysis and the results of experiments in which mineral oil is confined between steel boundaries.

This paper presents some studies on the application of mud cooler in Oil and Gas drilling in a high temperature, high pressure condition of Cuu Long reservoir. The authors have proposed a method to study the theory of temperature effects on drilling fluid properties, that have been tested practically. The authors have remarked on each type of drilling rig and installation location. With these remarks, the authors give an option to install the "Mud cooler" on the rig at the appropriate location and method so that the temperature of the solution will be ensured to reduce to a safe level. The effective application of this equipment has greatly assisted drilling process since the fluid temperature has been reduced sharply before returning to the mud tank. This has helped cut down expenses significantly by prolonging eqipment's endurability, saving time for drilling, ship renting, drilling services and minimize the budget spent on buying the fluid and additives to recover it. Thus, the drilling workers' working conditions have been facilitated. The results of these studies have been proved scientifically and practically through the successful drilling of well ST-3P-ST. This will make the way for other local wells and reservoirs which have the same conditions of temperature and pressure.

Flow of a fluid through a parallel channel is one of the simplest types of flow. However, the equations of flow and energy are far from simple and can only be solved in a closed form in the simplest cases when nonlinear effects such as the inertia and convective terms can be neglected (i.e., for zero Reynolds number) and when the energy and momentum equations are uncoupled. A numerical iterative method is described in which the coupled momentum and energy equations are solved when the viscosity, thermal conductivity and specific heat are functions of temperature, and the density a function of temperature and pressure; inertia terms are retained in the momentum equation and the convective terms, compression work term and the predominant dissipation term retained in the energy equation. Results are obtained for a variety of boundary temperatures up to about 2400 deg F and the effect of variable fluid properties and various terms in the energy and momentum equation are shown.

This study reports on numerically calculated thermophysical properties of air passing through a gas turbine compressor after passage through an intake duct affected by wet compression. Case of reference is unaffected ambient air (referenced to as dry scenario) passing through intake duct and compressor. Furthermore, ambient air cooled down by (overspray) fogging (referenced to as wet scenarios) was considered. Acceleration at the end of intake duct causing reduction of static temperature and pressure results in supersaturated fluid properties at inlet to gas turbine compressor. These supersaturated fluid properties are non-equilibrium with saturation level above relative humidity of φ = 1. Entrance of supersaturated fluid into gas turbine compressor can result in condensation within first compressor stage. At the same time delayed impact of evaporative cooling influences compression process.

A time-dependent quasi-one-dimensional model is developed for studying high- pressure discharges in ablative capillaries used, for example, as plasma sources in electrothermal launchers. The main features of the model are (i) consideration of ablation effects in each of the continuity, momentum and energy equations; (ii) use of a non-ideal equation of state; and (iii) consideration of space- and time-dependent ionization.

We report on compressional- and shear-wave-speed measurements made on compacted polycrystalline sI methane and sII methane–ethane hydrate. The gas hydrate samples are synthesized directly in the measurement apparatus by warming granulated ice to 17°C in the presence of a clathrate-forming gas at high pressure (methane for sI, 90.2% methane, 9.8% ethane for sII). Porosity is eliminated after hydrate synthesis by compacting the sample in the synthesis pressure vessel between a hydraulic ram and a fixed end-plug, both containing shear-wave transducers. Wave-speed measurements are made between –20 and 15°C and 0 to 105 MPa applied piston pressure. PACS No.: 61.60Lj

Ionic liquid, 1-(2-hydroxylethyl)-3-ethylene imidazolium chloride ([HeVIM]Cl) was synthesized and its chemical structures was examined by FTIR and 1HNMR. Fir powder was extracted with a mixture of benzene/ethanol or activated with 25% (mass fraction) NaOH under normal temperature and pressure, microwave and high pressure. Dissolution of the pretreated wood powder in [HeVIM]Cl by microwave (90°C, 400w) was studied. The results showed that the ionic liquid [HeVIM]Cl exhibited a good solubility. Wood powder pretreated with 25% NaOH under high pressure had the lowest crystallinity (2.4%) and the highest dissolution rate (21.6%).

Abstract The proper understanding of cooling temperature and cooldown time for the operation of a subsea system producing hydrocarbons from the reservoir to the host facility is one of the important flow assurance issues for managing heat retention in the production system due to solids formation and their deposition. In this paper, an analytical transient thermal model is developed for determining the cooling temperature and cooldown time for shut-in operations of a subsea pipe-in-pipe production system, transporting waxy crude oil from the reservoir to the host facility. Here, the cooldown time is defined as the time when the fluid temperature approaches the wax appearance temperature before reaching the hydrate formation temperature during any shut-in operations. The analytical model builds upon an inhomogeneous transient method incorporating an internal temperature gradient. The model results are benchmarked against the commercial OLGA simulation results for a few selected deepwater pipe-in-pipe flowline configuration. The model predictions resemble well with OLGA results over a range of conditions. The analytical model could optimize dry insulation and cooldown time requirements efficiently for the assumed PIP flowline configurations and fluid properties under any subsea environments.

Abstract In this paper the properties of the austenitic stainless steel reinforced with various volume fractions of TiB2 ceramics have been studied. The high pressure- high temperature (HP-HT) method of sintering was applied to the formation of composites. Samples were sintered at pressure of 5 and 7 ±0.2 GPa and temperatures of 1273 K and 1573 K. For the tested materials, the relative density, Young’s modulus and hardness were measured. In order to investigate the structure changes, the scanning electron microscope was used. The obtained results show that the temperature and pressure influence on the mechanical and physical properties of the investigated composites.

The present study is focused on the mixed convection fluid flow through a porous medium, when a different amount of nanoparticles is added in the base fluid. The nanofluid saturates the porous matrix and different situations of the flow between two walls are presented and discussed. Alternatively mathematical models are presented and discussed. A solution of a system which contains the momentum, Darcy and energy equations, together with the boundary conditions involved, is given. The behavior of different nanofluids, such thatAu-water, Ag-waterandFe-wateris graphically illustrated and compared with the previous results.The research target is to observe the substantial increase of the thermophysical fluid properties, when the porous medium issaturated by a nanofluid instead of a classical Newtonian fluid.
