Abstract: The control of each individual bend and overall process is presented in Part 1 of the paper. In Part 2 of the paper, statistical methods are used to analyze and improve 3-D tube bending ...

Abstract: Traditional trial-and-error springback compensation methods have the problems of high scrap rate, low efficiency, high cost of fixtures and operator experience dependency. The method presented in ...

Abstract: Isenthalpic flash is a type of flash calculation conducted at a given pressure and enthalpy for a feed mixture. Multiphase isenthalpic flash calculations are often required in compositional simulations of steam-based ...

Abstract: A power-law mixing rule has been developed to determine apparent diffusion coefficient of a binary gas mixture on the basis of molecular diffusion coefficients for pure gases in heavy oil. Diffusion coefficient of a pure ...

Abstract: In this paper, we introduce fast marching-succession of steady-states (FM-SSS) method to predict gas production from shale gas formations. The solutions of fast marching method (FMM) will describe the dynamic drainage ...

Abstract: We summarize the major recovery mechanisms of both steam-based recovery process and steam-chemical-based recovery process. Next, we review the previous lab-scale/field-scale studies examining the applications of surfactants, ...
