RISVelocity Distributions around Blocked Trash Racks
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Transported debris in open channels can lead to accumulations and, therefore, cause blockages at trash racks. Velocity distributions and flow patterns change because of these blockages and may lead to geomorphic condition ...
New Formulation for Sandstone Acidizing That Eliminates Sand Production Problems in Oil and Gas Sandstone Reservoirs
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The sandstone rocks' integrity and consolidation may be highly affected by the type and the strength of the stimulation fluids. Strong acids such as HF/HCl impair the rock consolidation. The reduction in the sandstone rock ...
Development of a New Correlation of Gas Compressibility Factor (Z Factor) for High Pressure Gas Reservoirs
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Gas compressibility factor or Zfactor for natural gas system can be determined from StandingKatz charts using the pseudocritical gas pressure and temperatures. These charts give accurate values for Zfactors. Reservoir ...
Well Clean-Up Using a Combined Thermochemical/Chelating Agent Fluids
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The well clean-up process involves the removal of impermeable filter cake from the formation face. This process is essential to allow the formation fluids to flow from the reservoir to the wellbore. Different types of ...
Numerical Study of Thermofluid Characteristics of a Double Spirally Coiled Tube Heat Exchanger
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this study, the thermofluid characteristics of double spirally coiled tube heat exchanger (DSCTHE) were investigated numerically. A three-dimensional (3D) computational fluid dynamic (CFD) model was developed using ansys ...
Analytical Method for Determining Bearing Capacity of Shallow Foundations on Unsaturated Soils
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The bearing capacity of foundations constructed on unsaturated soils depends on the soil saturation degree and thus the soil suction. This paper presents a simple limit equilibrium approach to compute the foundation bearing ...
Strength Determination and Fracture Characteristics of Bolted Connections
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Bolted connections are commonly used for attaching structural elements in various civil and mechanical engineering applications. Despite their popularity, various studies raised concerns over the adequacy of design provisions ...
Development of One-Part Rock-Based Geopolymers for Downhole Cementing Applications
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The use of geopolymers as a full replacement for cement in oil well cementing applications requires the development of not only environmentally friendly but also user-friendly cementitious materials. This study aims to ...
The Effect of Foundation Shape on Subgrade Reaction Coefficient
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper numerically examines the effect of foundation shape on the subgrade reaction coefficient. The distribution of the subgrade reaction coefficient on the foundation area and the values of this coefficient in different ...
