Determination of Viscosity and Wall Slip Behavior of a Polymer-Gel Used for Leakage Control From Couette Viscometry Data
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Polymer-gel, as a rheological complex fluid, is vulnerable to slip at solid walls. If wall slip occurs, the accuracy of viscosity measurements that are based on the no-slip boundary condition assumption is affected. This ...
Synergistic Inhibition Effect of Organic Salt and Polyamine on Water-Sensitive Shale Swelling and Dispersion
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Drilling fluid with strong inhibition performance is crucial in drilling water-sensitive shale formations. An organic salt compound and polyamine were tested for their ability to inhibit shale swelling and dispersion, both ...
Experimental Investigation on Wellbore Strengthening Based on a Hydraulic Fracturing Apparatus
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Lost circulation is a serious problem which always exists in the petroleum industry. Wellbore strengthening by lost circulation materials (LCMs) is a commonly applied method for mitigating lost circulation. This paper ...
Finite Element Modeling of Cutting Force and Chip Formation During Thermally Assisted Machining of Ti6Al4V Alloy
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The improvement in machinability during thermally assisted turning of the Ti6Al4V alloy has been investigated using finite element modeling. A 2D thermally assisted turning model was developed and validated by comparing ...
