scholarly journals Thermo Electric Sensitivity Fractal Dimension for Characterizing Shajara Reservoirs of the Permo-Carboniferous Shajara Formation, Saudi Arabia

The quality and assessment of a reservoir can be documented in details by the application of thermo electric sensitivity. This research aims to calculate fractal dimension from the relationship among thermo electric sensitivity, maximum thermo electric sensitivity and wetting phase saturation and to approve it by the fractal dimension derived from the relationship among capillary pressure and wetting phase saturation. Two equations for calculating the fractal dimensions have been employed. The first one describes the functional relationship between wetting phase saturation, thermo electric sensitivity, maximum Thermo electric sensitivity and fractal dimension. The second equation implies to the wetting phase saturation as a function of capillary pressure and the fractal dimension. Two procedures for obtaining the fractal dimension have been utilized. The first procedure was done by plotting the logarithm of the ratio between thermo electric sensitivity and maximum thermo electric sensitivity versus logarithm wetting phase saturation. The slope of the first procedure = 3- Df (fractal dimension). The second procedure for obtaining the fractal dimension was determined by plotting the logarithm of capillary pressure versus the logarithm of wetting phase saturation. The slope of the second procedure = Df -3. On the basis of the obtained results of the fabricated stratigraphic column and the attained values of the fractal dimension, the sandstones of the Shajara reservoirs of the Shajara Formation were divided here into three units.

The quality and assessment of a catalyst can be documented in detail by the application of pore size. This research aims to calculate fractal dimension from the relationship among pore size, maximum pore size and wetting phase saturation and to confirm it by the fractal dimension derived from the relationship among the ratio between surface area per unit pore volume, entry surface area per unit pore volume and wetting phase saturation. In this research, pore size was measured on Au/TiO2 using Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area. Two equations for calculating the fractal dimensions have been employed. The first one describes the functional relationship between wetting phase saturation, pore size, maximum pore size and fractal dimension. The second equation implies to the wetting phase saturation as a function of surface area per unit pore volume, entry surface area per unit pore volume and the fractal dimension. Two procedures for obtaining the fractal dimension have been utilized. The first procedure was done by plotting the logarithm of the ratio between pore size and maximum pore size versus logarithm wetting phase saturation. The positive slope of the first procedure = 3 − Df (fractal dimension). The second procedure for obtaining the fractal dimension was determined by plotting the logarithm of the ratio between surface area per unit pore volume, entry surface area per unit pore volume versus the logarithm of wetting phase saturation. The negative slope of the second procedure = Df − 3. It was found that the plasma + thermally treated Au/TiO2 has the highest fractal dimension value owing to possibility of having holes and channels. The results also show similarity between pore size fractal dimension and surface area per unit pore volume fractal dimension. In our case, as conclusions, the higher the fractal dimension, the better the catalytic activity.

The general relationship between fractional calculus and fractals is explored. Based on prior investigations dealing with random fractal processes, the fractal dimension of the function is shown to be a linear function of the order of fractional integro-differentiation. Emphasis is placed on the proper application of fractional calculus to the function of the random fractal, as opposed to the trail. For fractional Brownian motion, the basic relations between the spectral decay exponent, Hurst exponent, fractal dimension of the function and the trail, and the order of the fractional integro-differentiation are developed. Based on an understanding of fractional calculus applied to random fractal functions, consideration is given to an analogous application to deterministic or nonrandom fractals. The concept of expressing each coordinate of a deterministic fractal curve as a “pseudo-time” series is investigated. Fractional integro-differentiation of such series is numerically carried out for the case of quadric Koch curves. The resulting time series produces self-similar patterns with fractal dimensions which are linear functions of the order of the fractional integro-differentiation. These curves are assigned the name, fractional Koch curves. The general conclusion is reached that fractional calculus can be used to precisely change or control the fractal dimension of any random or deterministic fractal with coordinates which can be expressed as functions of one independent variable, which is typically time (or pseudo-time).
