A multi-mechanism numerical simulation model for CO_(2)-EOR and storage in fractured shale oil reservoirs

Under the policy background and advocacy of carbon capture,utilization,and storage(CCUS),CO_(2)-EOR has become a promising direction in the shale oil reservoir industry.The multi-scale pore structure distribution and fracture structure lead to complex multiphase flow,comprehensively considering multiple mechanisms is crucial for development and CO_(2) storage in fractured shale reservoirs.In this paper,a multi-mechanism coupled model is developed by MATLAB.Compared to the traditional Eclipse300 and MATLAB Reservoir Simulation Toolbox(MRST),this model considers the impact of pore structure on fluid phase behavior by the modified Peng—Robinson equation of state(PR-EOS),and the effect simultaneously radiate to Maxwell—Stefan(M—S)diffusion,stress sensitivity,the nano-confinement(NC)effect.Moreover,a modified embedded discrete fracture model(EDFM)is used to model the complex fractures,which optimizes connection types and half-transmissibility calculation approaches between non-neighboring connections(NNCs).The full implicit equation adopts the finite volume method(FVM)and Newton—Raphson iteration for discretization and solution.The model verification with the Eclipse300 and MRST is satisfactory.The results show that the interaction between the mechanisms significantly affects the production performance and storage characteristics.The effect of molecular diffusion may be overestimated in oil-dominated(liquid-dominated)shale reservoirs.The well spacing and injection gas rate are the most crucial factors affecting the production by sensitivity analysis.Moreover,the potential gas invasion risk is mentioned.This model provides a reliable theoretical basis for CO_(2)-EOR and sequestration in shale oil reservoirs.

A Novel Method for Vibration Mitigation of Complex Mechanical Systems

Taking the complex mechanical systems as the research project,a theoretical multi-degree-of-freedom(MDOF)model was established.Based on the vibration characteristics analysis of this system,a novel method of vibration mitigation was proposed,which can be applied to most of the complex mechanical systems.Through this method,limited grounding stiffness was made use of and added to certain degree of freedom(DOF)discretely.Thus,the root-meansquare(RMS)of the systems amplitude can be reduced to ideal level.The MATLAB code based on this method was attached,which was tested on the theoretical model.Consider that complex mechanical systems are nonlinear and uncertain,theoretically the optimal solution of vibration mitigation is inaccessible.However,this method can always provide a relatively effective solution.

ON THE KINETICS AND MECHANISM OF THE COPOLYMERIZATION OF ACRYLONITRILE WITH STYRENE IN THE PRESENCE OF COPPER CHLORIDE

The copolymerization of styrene (St) and acrylonitrile (AN) complexed with CuCl_2 monomer by a free radicalmechanism was performed using benzoyl peroxide as an initiator at 65℃ under N_2 atmosphere for 150 min. The rate ofpolymerization (R_p) was found to increase linearly with the concentration (in mol/L) of CuCl_2, AN and St through scalingrelations. The activation energy of the copolymerization process in the presence and absence of CuCl_2 was found to be46.5 kJ/mol and 102 kJ/mol, respectively. The viscosity average molecular weigh of the copolymer and the k_p^2/k_t ratio weredctermired to further assess the accelerating effect of CuCl_2 on the copolymerization process. The copolymerization processin the presence of CuCl_2 has a radical complex mechanism.

Mechanics Unloading Analysis and Experimentation of a New Type of Parallel Biomimetic Shoulder Complex

The structure design for high ratio of carrying capacity to deadweight is one of the challenges for the bionic mechanism,while the problem concerning high carrying capacity has not yet be solved for the existing shoulder complex.A new type biomimetic shoulder complex,which adopts 3-PSS/S（P for prismatic pair,S for spherical pair） spherical parallel mechanism（SPM）,is proposed.The static equilibrium equations of each component are established by using the vector method and the equations for constrain forces with certain load are solved.Then the constrain force on the middle limb and that on the side limbs are compared in order to verify the unloading performance of the mechanism.In addition,the prototype mechanism of the shoulder complex is developed,and the force feedback experiment is conducted to verify the static analysis,which indicates that the middle limb suffers most of the external force and the effect of mechanics unloading is achieved.The 3-PSS/S spherical parallel mechanism is presented for the shoulder complex,and the realization of mechanics unloading is benefit for the improvement of the carrying capacity of the shoulder complex.

Microstructures and deformation mechanisms of hornblende in Guandi complex,the Western Hills,Beijing

Multiple methods were applied to study the deformation characteristics of hornblende in Archean plagioamphibolite mylonite from the Western Hills(Beijing),including optical microscopy(OM),electron backscatter diffraction(EBSD),transmission electron microscopy(TEM),and electron probe microanalysis(EPMA).The hornblendes are σ and δ type porphyroclasts with the new-born needle shaped grains as their tails.The analysis of lattice preferred orientation(LPO) of both the porphyroclasts and the new-born grains shows that the main slip system of the deformed hornblende is(100)<001>,suggesting that the fabric characteristics of new-born grains inherit that of porphyroclasts.Sub-microstructures show the porphyroclast core is dominated by dislocation tangle,little or no dislocations in the new-born grains,and the subgrains confined by dislocations in the transition zone between porphyroclasts and new-born grains.By using plagioclase-hornblende geothermometry and hornblende geobarometry,the estimated temperature and pressure of porphyroclasts are 675.3-702.9℃ and 0.29-0.41 GPa and those of new-born grains are 614.1-679.0℃ and 0.11-0.31 GPa.The bulging recrystallization is summarized as deformation mechanisms of hornblende by the discussions of the microstructures,EBSD fabric,sub-microstructures,and the deformed temperature and pressure.

Mechanism of trifluoromethylation reactions with well-defined NHC copper trifluoromethyl complexes and iodobenzene:A computational exploration

Computational calculation was performed to investigate the mechanism of trifluoromethylation reactions of iodobenzene with well-defined N-heterocyclic carbene （NHC）-supported Cu~ trifiuor- omethyl complexes. Four proposed reaction pathways, namely cr-bond metathesis （BM）, concerted oxidative addition-reductive elimination （OARE）, iodine atom transfer （IAT） and single-electron transfer （SET）, have been computed by density functional theory （DFT）. The result indicated that the concerted OARE mechanism is favored among the four reaction pathways, suggesting the trifluoromethylation may occur via concerted OARE mechanism involving Ar-X oxidative addition to the Cu（1） center as the rate determining step.

Linear free energy relationships between reaction rate constants and equilibrium constants of complex compounds——III. Kinetics and mechanisms of ternary complex formation between (5-X-1, 10-phenanthroline)copper(II) and threonine

The kinetics of ternary complex formation involving Cu(5-X-1, 10-phen) and threonine (CuAL, A=5-X-1, 10-phen; L=threonine or represented by O-N; X=NO_2, Cl, H, CH_3) has been studied by temperature-jump and stopped-flow methods. The formation rate constants, k_f(M^(-1).s^(-1)), for the complexation reaction, CuA + LCuAL, are as follows; X=NO_2, 8.68×10~8; X=Cl, 7.13×10~8; X=H, 6.12×10~8; X=CH_3, 5.42×10~8. The rate constants for zwitterion attack are nil within experimental error. It has been found that a linear free energy relationship exists between the stability(logK_(CuAL)^(CuA) of the complexes CuAL and log kf as follows: IogK_(CuAL)^(CuA)=0.13 + 0.83 logk_f, r=0.99. It suggested that the formation rate governed the stability of the ternary complexes. The rates of formation of the ternary complexes increased with decreasing electron-donating property of the substituents. A linear relationship was found to exist as expressed by the following equation: log(k_f^R/k_F^O) = 0.097σ, r=0.96. A mechanism involves a rapid equilibrium between CuA and L followed by a slow ring closure of L.

Planarization mechanism of alkaline copper CMP slurry based on chemical mechanical kinetics

The planarization mechanism of alkaline copper slurry is studied in the chemical mechanical polishing （CMP） process from the perspective of chemical mechanical kinetics.Different from the international dominant acidic copper slurry,the copper slurry used in this research adopted the way of alkaline technology based on complexation. According to the passivation property of copper in alkaline conditions,the protection of copper film at the concave position on a copper pattern wafer surface can be achieved without the corrosion inhibitors such as benzotriazole（BTA）,by which the problems caused by BTA can be avoided.Through the experiments and theories research,the chemical mechanical kinetics theory of copper removal in alkaline CMP conditions was proposed. Based on the chemical mechanical kinetics theory,the planarization mechanism of alkaline copper slurry was established. In alkaline CMP conditions,the complexation reaction between chelating agent and copper ions needs to break through the reaction barrier.The kinetic energy at the concave position should be lower than the complexation reaction barrier,which is the key to achieve planarization.
