This paper presents an integrated study on the superheated steam injection in the North Кенкияк Field, Kazakhstan. The methodologies cover investigation of mechanisms of superheated steam in recovery, lab experiment, and numerical simulation. The study indicates that the injection of superheated steam can cause rock wettability conversion which is favorable to recovery. The higher the heat enth...

Condensing boilers use waste heat from flue gases to pre-heat cold water entering the boiler. Flue gases are condensed into liquid form, thus recovering their latent heat of vaporization, which results in as much as 10%–12% increase in efficiency. Modeling these heat transfer phenomena is crucial to control this equipment. Despite the many approaches to the condensing boiler modeling, the follo...

a three-parameter cubic equation of state has been proposed for predicting pvt of pure refrigerantssuch as r236ea, r236fa, r245fa, r245ca, r218, r227ea, and r717, from freezing point up to critical pointtemperature and pressures up 650 atm. we explore the theory of the equation of state from the view pointof ihm–song–mason (ism) equation of state, which has been derived on the basis of statisti...

Current earth observation models do not take into account the influence of water salinity on the evaporation rate, even though the salinity influences the evaporation rate by affecting the density and latent heat of vaporization. In this paper, we adapt the SEBS (Surface Energy Balance System) model for large water bodies and add the effect of water salinity to the evaporation rate. Firstly, SE...

We report measurements of turbulent heat transport in samples of ethane (C2H6) heated from below while the applied temperature difference DeltaT straddled the liquid-vapor coexistence curve T(phi)(P). When the sample top temperature T(t) decreased below T(phi), droplet condensation occurred and the latent heat of vaporization H provided an additional heat-transport mechanism. The effective cond...
