The first routine calculates the aqueous speciation from the equations of mass balance, charge balance and mass action, forming a system of N equations and N unknowns describing the aqueous phase with N unknown chemical species, which is solved with Newton-Raphson method using the Debye-Hiickel and Bdotactivity coefficients that solved simultaneously with Henry's Law, the Soave-Redlich-Kwong equation of state and a Poynting correction term, calculate chemical potentials and composition of the phases of the system, which are used at the Ratchford-Rice flash routine that iteratively recalculates the distribution of gases in liquid, until convergence. The chemical composition data of gas and brine phases of production wells at standard conditions for 1998 and 2007 of the Los Humeros geothermal field are modeled in the described manner, deducing that fluids inside the pipes of the reservoir are corrosive and cause the precipitation of newly formed minerals such as iron and calcium sulfates and silica, at reservoir conditions.展开更多

Due to significant differences between Earth systems and engineering systems, the existing numerical algorithms and methods, which are designed for simulating realistic problems in the engineering fields, may not be straightforwardly used to simulate ore-generating problems without significant improvements. Thus, extensive and systematic studies have been conducted, in recent years, to develop new numerical algorithms and methods for simulating different aspects of ore-generating problems. Not only can the outcomes of these studies provide new simulation tools for better understanding the controlled dynamic mechanisms that take place in ore-generating systems, but also they have enriched the research contents of computational mechanics in the broad sense.展开更多
