Here the 'chamber-throat' model and the Weibull distribution are used to describe the pore geometry and the pore size distribution respectively. This method is based on the scaling law of percolation theory after both effects of sorption thermodynamics and pore size on the sorption hysteresis loops are considered. The results show that it is an effective procedure to calculate the mean coordination number for micro- and meso-porous media.展开更多

The fluid transport is based on the deterministic method with dispersion effect. The result shows that the topology and the geometry of the porous media have a strong effect on displacement processes. The cluster size of viscous fingering (VF) pattern in percolation cluster increases with the increase of iteration parameter n. When iteration parameter , VF pattern does not change with n. We find that the displacement fluid forms trapping regions in random porous media with dispersion effect. And the trapping regions will expand with the increasing of the iteration parameter n. When r (throat size) and , the peak value of the distribution increases as n increases, where is the normalized distribution of throat sizes after different displacement-damages but before freezing. The peak value of the distribution reaches a maximum when and , where is the normalized distribution of the size of invaded throat. This result is different from invasion percolation. It is found that the sweep efficiency E increases along with the increasing of iteration parameter n and decreases with the network size L, and E has a minimum as L increases to the maximum size of lattice. The VF pattern in percolation cluster has one frozen zone and one active zone.展开更多

For this study, the volatiles in coal were gradually removed by extraction. Changes in the crystal, textural, and porous structures were identified by means of thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, and N2 adsorption/desorption. Changes in the methane adsorption behavior before and after volatile removal were investigated. It was found that changes in methane adsorption could be attributed to volatile-related deformations in the coal＇s porous structure. Microstructural characterizations indicated that the volatiles could be found in two states within the coal, either trapped in the pores, or cross-linked in the network. The former played an important role in constructing the pore spaces and walls within the coal and affected the accessibility of gases. The latter cross-linked state retained the volatiles within the macromolecular coal structural network. This state affected coal-coal interactions, which was a factor that controlled the crystal structure of coal and contributed to the number of porous deformations.展开更多
