Abstract: Mechanical behavior of organic-rich shale strongly influences the stimulation performance of hydraulic fracturing. This article presents an approach for the characterization and evaluation of mechanical properties of shale ...

Abstract: Porous wicks are a key component of loop heat pipes (LHPs). In order to enhance the antigravity and long-distance operation ability of the LHP, a porous wick is required to have the characteristics of high permeability and ...
