fluid invasion from water-based drilling mud (wbdm) into the shale formations causes swelling,high pressure zone near the wellbore wall, and eventually wellbore instability problems duringdrilling operations. for the stability of the wellbore, physical plugging of nanoscale pore throats couldbe considered as a logical approach toward avoiding the fluid invasion into the shale formation. thispap...

In this work, the characteristics of flow and heat transfer of a fluid containing nano particles of aluminum oxide with the water volume fraction (0.1-0.2-0.3)(V/V) percent of the reports. The overall heat transfer coefficient, heat transfer and the average heat transfer fluid containing nano water - aluminum oxide in a horizontal double pipe counter flow heat exchanger under turbulent flow con...

A new characteristic-based method is developed and used for solving the mixed and forced convection problems. The nano-fluid flow with heat transfer is simulated with a novel characteristic-based scheme in closed domains with different aspect ratios. For this purpose, a FORTRAN code has been written and developed. Water as a pure fluid and water-titanium dioxide as a nano-fluid were considered....

Starch is one of the most widely used biopolymers in water based drilling fluids to control fluid loss. The thermal stability of starch in common drilling fluids is low (93 °C). In this study, the thermal stability of starch has been evaluated in sodium/potassium formate and potassium chloride fluids. Samples of mud were prepared by formate salts (sodium and potassium) and potassium chloride wi...

Water or any fluid similar to water in form among various fluids is highly utilized in animation production, and its application scope is quite broad. Therefore, the production of software generating fluid expression, which is easy to be intuitively used, may be quite important. Water, however, is more difficult for simulation than smoke or gas in generation of a fluid effect through an applica...
