Summary Compositional simulation of solvent injection requires reliable characterization of reservoir fluids by use of an equation of state (EOS). Under the uncertainty associated with nonidentifiable components, reservoir fluids are conventionally characterized in the absence of universal methodology. This is true even for relatively simple fluids involving only the gaseous (V) and oleic (L1) phases. No systematic method has been presented for characterization of more-complex fluids, exhibiting three hydrocarbon phases: the V, L1, and solvent-rich-liquid (L2) phases. This paper presents a new algorithm for systematic characterization of multiphase behavior for solvent-injection simulation. The reliability of the method comes mainly from the binary-interaction parameters (BIPs) newly developed for the Peng-Robinson (PR) (Peng and Robinson 1976, 1978) EOS to represent three-phase behavior, including upper critical endpoints, for n-alkane and carbon dioxide (CO2)/n-alkane binaries. The regression part in fluid characterization broadly follows the concept of perturbation from n-alkanes, which was successfully applied for simpler two-phase fluids in our prior research. The algorithm, in its simplest form, uses only the saturation pressure and liquid density at a given composition and reservoir temperature. Case studies are presented to demonstrate the reliability of the algorithm for 90 reservoir fluids and their mixtures with solvents. Predictions are compared with experimental data for up to three phases. Results show that the simple algorithm developed in this research enables the PR-EOS to predict multiphase behavior in spite of the limited data used in the regression. Without the use of the BIPs developed in this research, the PR-EOS may fail to predict three phases, or may provide erroneous three-phase predictions.

Three Phases

In this paper, combined the micromechanical and the thermodynamic theory, a three phase model for the SMA composite is developed, in which the composite is considered as the austenitic phase, the product phase (martensite) and the matrix phase. In the present model, the interaction among the three phases is analyzed. From the micromechanical analysis, the macroscopic free energy function is found. Then macroscopic transformation strain, effective elastic compliance, macroscopic constitutive model are derived.Compared with the traditional two-phase method, non-linearity of SMA need not be considered. The method is not only simply but also the interaction among the three phases is considered. As an application of above model, we consider the case of a composite with NiTi/epoxy, illustrate the predicted stress-strain response of it under isothermal loading and unloading conditions and analyses the effects of temperature and fiber volume on macroscopic mechanical property. By comparing with references, it is shown that the results are credible. It is helpful to design the intelligent composite.

This chapter summarizes the study of the filler (ie copper) effect on LDPE phasic composition in LDPE/Cu composites prepared in solution. During this research work, a particular effort is focused on the use of DSC under non-standard conditions. Therewith, the presence of copper microparticles has a great effect on the network phase than on the crystalline long-range-order phase of LDPE structure. Furthermore, LDPE phasic composition in absence and presence of copper microparticles is investigated by FTIR spectroscopy followed by a spectral simulation of the band that appeared at 720 cm−1 corresponding to the CH2. Anywise, the two-phase model confirmed that no variation is observed of LDPE phase composition for all copper contents into LDPE/Cu films. However, with the three-phase model the orthorhombic phase fraction was found to be constant compared to the fraction of amorphous and that of network phase were found to increase and decrease respectively with increase in the copper particle load in the film. Overall, the thermal and structural behavior of LDPE in presence of copper particles allows this type to be used as phase change materials (PCMs) by adding a paraffin fraction in the LDPE/Cu composite. An update of the most relevant work carried out in the field of phasic characterization of polyethylene is presented in this chapter.

Theoretical Results

In this work, two-phase parallel fiber-reinforced periodic piezoelectric composites are considered wherein the constituents exhibit transverse isotropy and the cells have different configurations. Two types of imperfect contact at the interface of the composites are studied: a) imperfect contact via spring model, b) three phase model. Simple closed-form formulae are obtained for the effective properties of the composites with both types of contact and different parallelogram cells by means of the asymptotic homogenization method (AHM). Some numerical examples and comparisons with other theoretical results illustrate that the model is efficient for the analysis of composites with presence of parallelogram cells and imperfect contacts.
