water alternating gas (wag) technique is used in the petroleum industry to inject carbon dioxide (co2) into underground formations either for sequestration or enhanced oil recovery (eor) processes. co2 injection causes reactions with formation brine or aquifer and produces carbonic acid, the acid dissolves calcite and changes flow behavior significantly. modeling and investigating effects of co...

This paper describes a theoretical study to investigate the heat transfer characteristics of porous radiant burners. A one dimensional model is used to solve the governing equations for porous medium and gas flow before the premixed flame to the exhaust gas. Combustion in the porous medium is modeled as a spatially dependent heat generation zone. The homogeneous porous media, in addition to its...

in this paper, the combined effect of suspended (fine dust) particles and rotation on the onset of thermosolutal convection in an elastico-viscous fluid in a porous medium is studied. for the porous medium, the brinkman model is employed and rivlin-ericksen model is used to characterize viscoelastic fluid. by applying normal mode analysis method, the dispersion relation has been derived and sol...

pore network modeling uses a network of pores connected by throats to model the void space of a porous medium and tries to predict its various characteristics during multiphase flow of various fluids. in most cases, a non-realistic regular lattice of pores is used to model the characteristics of a porous medium. although some methodologies for extracting geologically realistic irregular network...

porous media has interesting features in compared with free flame combustion due to the extended of the lean flammability limits and lower emissions. advanced new generation of internal combustion (ic) engines are expected to have far better emissions levels both gaseous and particulate matter, at the same time having far lower fuel consumption on a wide range of operating condition. these crit...

In this work a glass micromodel which its grains and pores are non-uniform in size, shape and distribution is considered as porous medium. A two-dimensional random network model of micromodel with non-uniform pores has been constructed. The non-uniformity of porous model is achieved by assigning parametric distribution functions to pores throat and pores length, which was measured using ima...

In situ growth of bacteria in a porous medium can alter the permeability of that media. This article reveals that the rate of permeability alteration can be controlled by the inoculation strategy, nutrient concentrations, and injection rates. Based on experimental observations a phenomenological model has been developed to describe the inoculation of the porous medium, the in situ growth of bac...

for better understanding the effect of nanofluid flow in a porous medium, a set of experiments were conducted on a horizontal glass micromodel for al2o3-water nanofluids. to characterize the flow of nanofluids the same experiment was done by pure water. the glass micromodel was constructed by a photolithography technique. the al2o3-water nanofluids were produced by a two-step method and no surf...

abstract: this work presents a numerical study to investigate the heat transfer characteristics of a 2-d rectangular composite porous radiant burner (cprb). in the construction of porous burner, the porous layer is considered to be composite consisting of upstream and downstream layers with equal thickness but with different physical and radiative properties. in the present work, a two dimensio...
