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.

Experimental study on the interrelation of multiple mechanical parameters in overburden rock caving process during coal mining in longwall panel

In order to comprehend the dynamic disaster mechanism induced by overburden rock caving during the advancement of a coal mining face, a physical simulation model is constructed basing on the geological condition of the 21221 mining face at Qianqiu coal mine in Henan Province, China. This study established, a comprehensive monitoring system to investigate the interrelations and evolutionary characteristics among multiple mechanical parameters, including mining-induced stress, displacement, temperature, and acoustic emission events during overburden rock caving. It is suggested that, despite the uniformity of the overburden rock caving interval, the main characteristic of overburden rock lies in its uneven caving strength. The mining-induced stress exhibits a reasonable interrelation with the displacement, temperature, and acoustic emission events of the rock strata. With the advancement of the coal seam, the mining-induced stress undergoes four successive stages: gentle stability, gradual accumulation, high-level mutation, and a return to stability. The variations in other mechanical parameters does not synchronize with the signifcant changes in mining-induced stress. Before the collapse of overburden rock occurs, rock strata temperature increment decreases and the acoustic emission ringing counts surges with the increase of rock strata displacement and mining-induced stress. Therefore, the collaborative characteristics of mining-induced stress, displacement, temperature, and acoustic emission ringing counts can be identifed as the precursor information or overburden rock caving. These results are in good consistent with on-site situation in the coal mine.

Optimization of multiple attenuation mechanisms by cation substitution in imidazolic MOFs-derived porous composites for superior broadband electromagnetic wave absorption

Metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)derived composites are extremely potential electromagnetic wave(EMW)absorbers.However,the permittivity of absorbers directly derived from MOFs with solid structure is usually relatively low,inevitably limiting their further applications.Cation substitution can primely overcome the problem by regulating the morphology and atomic space occupation to enhance multiple loss mechanisms and impedance matching characteristics.However,universal mechanisms of the effect on EMW absorption performance influenced by cation substitution are still comparatively inadequate,which prospectively requires further exploration.Herein,a series of imidazolic MOFs were fabricated by ultrasonic symbiosis method and tailored by subsequent cation substitution strategy to prepare target porous composites.At a low filling rate and thin thickness,the as-obtained samples reach the optimal reflection loss and effective absorption bandwidth values of–49.81 dB and 7.63 GHz,respectively.The intercoupling between multiple atoms lays a significant foundation for abundant heterogeneous interfaces and defect vacancies,which effectively ameliorate the attenuation mechanisms.Meanwhile,the porous structure introduced by cation substitution reduces the bulk density to enhance the impedance matching and multiple reflections simultaneously.This study provides a helpful idea to exceedingly improve the EMW absorbing performance of imidazolic MOFs-derived composites by cation substitution.

MULTIPLE SCATTERING THEORY OF EFFECTIVE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF INHOMOGENEOUS MEDIA

The rate of hydrothermal reaction of SiO_2 and/or A1_2O_3 in the system of CaO-Al_2O_3-SiO_2-H_2O at 200℃ and the factors which influence the reactions are investigated by determining the reaction ratio.The rate of reactions depends on the reactive activities of raw materials, initial composition of mixture and relative activity of SiO_2 and A12O3. The hydrothermal reaction can be accelerated by sodium hydroxide,in the case of silica,which has low activity, this is quite obvious.

Symmetry-constrained quantum coupling in non-Fermi-liquid transport

Finding the common origin of non-Fermi liquids(NFLs) transport in high-temperature superconductors(HTSCs)has proven to be fundamentally challenging due to the prominence of various collective fluctuations.Here,we propose a comprehensive non-Hermitian Hamiltonian(NHH) for quantum coupling of multiple scattering mechanisms associated with four types of order fluctuations.It predicts that the anticommutation symmetry of the spinor fermions constrains the scattering rate to a unified quadrature scaling,i.e.,Γ=Γ_(1)+√Γ_(Q)^(2)+(μk_(B)T)^(2)+(vμ_(B)B)^(2)+(γ_(E)E)^(2).This scaling yields a comprehensive and accurate description of two widespread NFL behaviors in HTSCs,i.e.,a temperature-scaling crossover between quadratic and linear laws and the quadrature magnetoresistance,validated by several dozens of data sets for broad phase regimes.It reveals that the common origin of these behaviors is the spinor-symmetry-constrained quantum coupling of spin-wave and topological excitations of mesoscopic orders.Finally,we show that this NHH can be easily extended to other complex quantum fluids by specifying the corresponding symmetries.It is concluded that this work uncovers a critical organization principle(i.e.,the spinor symmetry) underlying the NFL transport,thus providing a novel theoretical framework to advance the transport theory of correlated electron systems.

Fabrication of a flexible microwave absorber sheet based on a composite filler with fly ash as the core filled silicone rubber

A new type of composite filler was designed by a modified sol-gel method using fly ash(FA),Fe(NO_(3))_(3)·9H_(2)O,and Ni(NO_(3))_(2)·6H_(2)O as raw materials.The composite filler was a spherical core-shell structure composed of FA as the core and NiFe_(2)O_(4)as the shell.Further,the composite filler was added into the silicone rubber to fabricate the high temperature vulcanized microwave absorption materials;X-ray diffraction,fourier transform infrared spectroscopy,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,and scanning electron microscope confirmed that NiFe_(2)O_(4)was successfully coated on the surface of FA and formed a uniform and continuous coating layer.As expected,silicone rubber filled with the composite filler had a minimum reflection loss of-23.8 dB at 17.5 GHz with the thickness of 1.8 mm,while the effective absorption bandwidth was as high as 12 GHz.The addition of the composite filler greatly enhanced the microwave absorption properties of the system,which was resulted from multiple losses mechanism:interface polarization losses,magnetic losses,and multiple reflection losses.Also,silicone rubber filled with the composite filler exhibited excellent thermal stability,flexibility,environmental resistance,and hydrophobicity compared with traditional silicone rubber.Therefore,this work not only responds to the green chemistry to achieve efficient FA recovery,but also devises a new strategy to prepare microwave absorption materials with strong potential for civilian applications.

Chaos in Compact Binaries with Frequency Map Analysis

The dynamics of compact binaries is very complicated because of spin-orbit cou- pling and spin-spin coupling. With Laskar＇s frequency map analysis （FMA） and frequency diffusion as an indicator, we found that misalignment of the spins and orbital angular momentum has a great effect on the dynamics, and for systems with different mass ratios β = m2/ml chaos occurs at different spin-orbit configurations. For equal-mass binaries （β = 1）, chaos occurs when the spins nearly cancel each other out. For some other systems （for exampleβ - 1/2）, the binaries are irregular, even chaotic, when the spins are perpendicular to the orbital angular momentum. For the case where gravitational radiation is taken into account, we give an analytic estimation for the frequency diffusion based on the decay of the orbit, which is roughly consistent with our simulations. This means the FMA is not suitable as a chaos indicator for weak chaotic cases with dissipative terms.

Dual-Porosity Apparent Permeability Models of Unconventional Gas Migration Based on Biot’s Porous Media

Stress-dependent permeability models are developed for the organic pores and inorganic cleats/fractures in unconventional gas reservoirs,which are modeled as Biot’s porous media of dual-porosity.Further considering multiple flow mechanisms such as dynamic effects of gas flow and surface diffusion,apparent permeability models are obtained to investigate the characteristics of unconventional gas migration.Compared to the gas transfer in single-porosity reservoirs,the gas migration ability of cleats in dual-porosity stratums rarely changes while that of organic pores is greatly improved because cleats sustain major geomechanical shrinkage deformation when the pore pressure drops.Further,the mass flux of reservoirs is dominated by the mass flux of cleats,which has a lower peak value,but a much longer production term than those in single-porosity reservoirs due to the interaction between organic pores and cleats.Parametric analysis is conducted to identify key factors significantly impacting mass flux in unconventional reservoirs.Reasons for the mass flux variation are also explored in terms of gas migration ability and pore pressure distribution.

Development of high-performance microwave absorption materials(MAM)with stabilized magnetic properties at high temperatures is specifically essential but remains challenging.Moreover,the Snoke's limitation restrains the microwave absorption(MA)property of magnetic materials.Modulating alloy components is considered an effective way to solve the aforementioned problems.Herein,a hollow medium-entropy FeCoNiAl alloy with a stable magnetic property is prepared via simple spray-drying and two-step annealing for efficient MA.FeCoNiAl exhibited an ultrabroad effective absorption band(EAB)of 5.84 GHz(12.16–18 GHz)at a thickness of just 1.6 mm,revealing an excellent absorption capability.Furthermore,the MA mechanism of FeCoNiAl is comprehensively investigated via off-axis holography.Finally,the electromagnetic properties,antioxidant properties,and residual magnetism at high temperatures of FeCoNiAl alloys are summarized in detail,providing new insights into the preparation of MAM operating at elevated temperatures.

Pushing the limits of microwave absorption capability of carbon fiber in fabric design based on genetic algorithm

The field of electromagnetic wave absorption(EWA)requires the adaptability,tenability,and multifunction of high-performance materials in the future.The design and preparation of EWA materials aiming at performance requirements is the latest research hotspot.Here,a performancedriven strategy for simultaneously coordinating different target performances was proposed to optimize the structure of the periodical long continuous carbon/glass fiber fabric(PCGF)materials through algorithm and simulation.The optimized structure of the PCGF not only improves the impedance matching,but also introduces the induced orientation effect for a high cooperative loss of conductivity,resonance,and periodic structure.The flexible PCGF shows a broad effective absorption bandwidth(EAB)of 32.7 GHz covering a part of the C-band and the whole X-,Ku-,K-,and Ka-bands with a thickness(d)of only 0.92 mm and a density of 5.6×10^(−4) kg·cm^(−3).This highly designable fabric is promising for the EWA practical application owing to integrating the characteristics of good flexibility,acid and alkali resistance,bending resistance,excellent mechanical properties,and easy large-scale preparation.

Gradually activated lithium uptake in sodium citrate toward high-capacity organic anode for lithium-ion batteries

Lithium-ion batteries(LIBs)have been used to power various electric devices and store energy,but their toxic components by using inorganic materials generally cause serious environmental issues when disused.Recently,environmentally friendly and naturally abundant organic compounds have been adopted as promising electrode materials for next-generation LIBs.Herein,a new organic anode electrode based on sodium citrate is proposed,which shows gradually activated electrochemical behavior and delivers a high reversible capacity of 776.8 mAh·g^(-1)after 1770 cycles at a current density of 2 A·g^(-1).With the aid of the electrochemical characterization,Fourier-transform infrared(FTIR)and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)analysis,the lithium uptake mechanism of sodium citrate-based anodes is identified to be a combination of three-electron lithiation/delithiation and fast Li+intercalation/deintercalation processes,in which Faradaic reactions could offer a theoretical contribution of312 mAh·g^(-1)and intercalation pseudocapacitance would provide extra capacity.This work demonstrates the great potential for developing high-capacity organic electrodes for LIBs in future.

Towards ultrastrong and ductile medium-entropy alloy through dual-phase ultrafine-grained architecture

Advanced materials with superior comprehensive mechanical properties are strongly desired,but it has long been a challenge to achieve high ductility in high-strength materials.Here,we proposed a new V 0.5 Cr 0.5 CoNi medium-entropy alloy(MEA)with a face-centered cubic/hexagonal close-packed(FCC/HCP)dual-phase ultrafine-grained(UFG)architecture containing stacking faults(SFs)and local chemical order(LCO)in HCP solid solution,to obtain an ultrahigh yield strength of 1476 MPa and uniform elongation of 13.2%at ambient temperature.The ultrahigh yield strength originates mainly from fine grain strength-ening of the UFG FCC matrix and HCP second-phase strengthening assisted by the SFs and LCO inside,whereas the large ductility correlates to the superior ability of the UFG FCC matrix to storage disloca-tions and the function of deformation-induced SFs in the vicinity of the FCC/HCP boundary to eliminate the stress concentration.This work provides new guidance by engineering novel composition and stable UFG structure for upgrading the mechanical properties of metallic materials.
