the immiscible displacement of oil by water through a porous and permeable reservoir rock can be described by the use of a fractional flow curves (fw versus sw). water flooding project parameters can be obtained from the fractional flow curve. however, developing a representative fractional flow curve for a specific reservoir can be quite challenging when fluid and special core analysis data is...

To control the quality of reverse osmosis (RO) product water and reduce operational costs and environmental impacts by increasing the system’s energy efficiency, it is necessary to identify the influence of process parameters on energy consumption and permeate water quality. This paper introduces a case study focused on the application of Design of Experiments (DOE) method in an industrial-scal...

the simultaneous flow of oil and water in porous media is described by relative permeability curves, mainly derived from laboratory experiments. relative permeability is of paramount importance in predicting reservoir production performance and drive mechanisms and its value depends largely on the volume fraction of fluids present in the test samples. nowadays x-ray scanners are one of the most...

Abstract—This paper evaluates oil displacement by water in Hauterivian sandstone reservoir of Kashkari oil field in North of Afghanistan. The core samples of this oil field were taken out from well No-21st, and the relative permeability and fractional flow are analyzed. Steady state flow laboratory experiments are performed to empirically obtain the fractional flow curves and relative permeabil...

In this study we suggest that the velocity of water entering the cervical esophagus can be used as an index of pharyngeal swallowing function. In this article, the basic in vitro principles of water and viscous water flow velocity evaluation using ultrasonic methods are introduced. Water flow involving small gas bubbles passing through a silicon tube could be monitored in the B-mode images and ...

extended abstract abstract pressure management is an effective method for water demand management. for evaluation of the effects of pressure changes on leakage level of water networks, the favad equation is usually used. however, in this equation, exponent of pressure parameter (n) needs to be determined. for estimation of n, either some information about the leak opening is necessary or networ...

An important and fundamental issue in Iran is to utilize water and to avoid wasting it. Therefore, climate change can be considered as an effective factor on water resources. The most tangible climate change phenomenon is drought which is much important to be identified. In this study, the effect of climate changes on flow rate in Bashar River, Shahmokhtar station of Yasouj city was evaluated u...
