Gas-Water Production of a Continental Tight-Sandstone Gas Reservoir under Different Fracturing Conditions

A numerical model of hydraulic fracture propagation is introduced for a representative reservoir(Yuanba continental tight sandstone gas reservoir in Northeast Sichuan).Different parameters are considered,i.e.,the interlayer stress difference,the fracturing discharge rate and the fracturing fluid viscosity.The results show that these factors affect the gas and water production by influencing the fracture size.The interlayer stress difference can effectively control the fracture height.The greater the stress difference,the smaller the dimensionless reconstruction volume of the reservoir,while the flowback rate and gas production are lower.A large displacement fracturing construction increases the fracture-forming efficiency and expands the fracture size.The larger the displacement of fracturing construction,the larger the dimensionless reconstruction volume of the reservoir,and the higher the fracture-forming efficiency of fracturing fluid,the flowback rate,and the gas production.Low viscosity fracturing fluid is suitable for long fractures,while high viscosity fracturing fluid is suitable for wide fractures.With an increase in the fracturing fluid viscosity,the dimensionless reconstruction volume and flowback rate of the reservoir display a non-monotonic behavior,however,their changes are relatively small.

Research on the gas desorption law of the consumingly destruct coal

To solve the issues of calculating gas loss quantity during sampling,simulated gas desorption process of the consumingly destruct coal with the assembly simulation testing device.Through an analysis of the simulation test datum using SPSS software, established a new formula that can be better description on gas desorption process,more accurate calculation of the gas loss quantity during sampling process,and calculating re- leasable gas quantity during a certain period.Aimed at the new formula,the best time of taking sample is confirmed 3 minutes for consumingly destruct coal,the computative error is less than 10%.Through experiment at laboratory and locale,the new formula could well describe consumingly destruct coal gas desorption law,and it has high calculation preci- sion of gas loss quantity in sampling and desorption quanlity.

Propagation law of shock waves and gas flow in cross roadway caused by coal and gas outburst

In order to study the propagation law of shock waves and gas flow during coal and gas outburst,we analyzed the formation process of outburst shock waves and gas flow and established the numerical simulation models of the roadways with 45°intersection and 135°intersection to simulate the propagation of outburst gas flow and the process of gas transport.Based on the analysis of the simulation results,we obtained the qualitative and quantitative conclusions on the characteristics and patterns of propagation and attenuation of outburst shock waves and gas flow.With the experimental models,we investigated the outburst shock waves and gas flow in the roadways with the similar structures to the simulated ones.According to the simulation results,when the angle between the driving roadway and the adjacent roadway increased,the sudden pressure variation range in adjacent roadway and the influencing scope of gas flow increased and the sudden pressure variation duration decreased.The intersection between the driving roadway and the adjacent roadway has no effect on airflow reversal induced by the shock waves and gas flow.

Numerical simulation on the delivery law of gob gas of fully mechanized caving face

A Numerical Simulation of Air Flow in the Human Respiratory System Based on Lung Model

The lung is an important organ that takes part in the gas exchange process. In the study of gas transport and exchange in the human respiratory system, the complicated process of advection and diffusion (AD) in airways of human lungs is considered. The basis of a lumped parameter model or a transport equation is modeled during the inspiration process, when oxygen enters into the human lung channel. The quantitative measurements of oxygen are detached and the model equation is solved numerically by explicit finite difference schemes. Numerical simulations were made for natural breathing conditions or normal breathing conditions. The respiratory flow results for the resting conditions are found strongly dependent on the AD effect with some contribution of the unsteadiness effect. The contour of the flow rate region is labeled and AD effects are compared with the variation of small intervals of time for a constant velocity when breathing is interrupted for a negligible moment.

Energy Fluctuation of Ideal Fermi Gas Trapped under Generic Power Law Potential U=Σ_(i=1)~d c_i|x_i/a_i|^(n_i) in d Dimensions

Energy fluctuation of ideal Fermi gas trapped under generic power law potential U=Σ_(i=1)~d c_i|x_i/a_i|^(n_i) has been calculated in arbitrary dimensions.Energy fluctuation is scrutinized further in the degenerate limit μ>>K_B T with the help of Sommerfeld expansion.The dependence of energy fluctuation on dimensionality and power law potential is studied in detail.Most importantly our general result can not only exactly reproduce the recently published result regarding free and harmonically trapped ideal Fermi gas in d =3 but also can describe the outcome for any power law potential in arbitrary dimension.

quantum gases power law potential grand potential condensation hierarchy

The changes in characteristics of Bose condensation of ideal Bose gas due to an external generic power law potential U =∑~d_（i=1）ci｜xi/ai｜~（ni） are studied carefully. Detailed calculation of Kim et al.（J. Phys. Condens. Matter 11（1999） 10269） yielded the hierarchy of condensation transitions with changing fractional dimensionality. In this manuscript, some theorems regarding specific heat at constant volume CV are presented. Careful examination of these theorems reveal the existence of hidden hierarchy of the condensation transition in trapped systems as well.

A Study of the Critical Nozzle for Flow Rate Measurement of High-Pressure Hydrogen Gas

The mass flow rate measurement using a critical nozzle shows the validity of the inviscid theory, indicating that the discharge coefficient increases and approaches unity as the Reynolds number increases under the ideal gas law However, when the critical nozzle measures the mass flow rate of a real gas such as hydrogen at a pressure of hundreds bar, the discharge coefficient exceeds unity, and the real gas effects should be taken into account. The present study aims at investigating the flow features of the critical nozzle using high-pressured hydrogen gas. The axisymmetric, compressible Navier-Stokes computation is employed to simulate the critical nozzle flow, and a fully implicit finite volume method is used to discretize the governing equation system. The real gas effects are simulated to consider the intermolecular forces, which account for the possibility of liquefying hydrogen gas. The computational results are compared with past experimental data. It has been found that the coefficient of discharge for real gas can be corrected properly below unity adopting the real gas assumption.

Recovering Navier–Stokes Equations from Asymptotic Limits of the Boltzmann Gas Mixture Equation

This paper is devoted to the derivation of macroscopic fluid dynamics from the Boltzmann mesoscopic dynamics of a binary mixture of hard-sphere gas particles.Specifically the hydrodynamics limit is performed by employing different time and space scalings.The paper shows that,depending on the magnitude of the parameters which define the scaling,the macroscopic quantities(number density,mean velocity and local temperature)are solutions of the acoustic equation,the linear incompressible Euler equation and the incompressible Navier–Stokes equation.The derivation is formally tackled by the recent moment method proposed by[C.Bardos,et al.,J.Stat.Phys.63(1991)323]and the results generalize the analysis performed in[C.Bianca,et al.,Commun.Nonlinear Sci.Numer.Simulat.29(2015)240].
