For centuries oil has remained a critical energy source for human civilization. After years of extraction, many oil fields have reached or are reaching a decline stage of production, even though up to a half of the total crude oil reserves in these fields has not been recovered yet. One reason is due to the structural heterogeneity of the oil reservoirs—reservoirs may consist of regions of higher permeability with larger pore size and regions of lower permeability with smaller pore size. Displacing fluids tend to flow through large permeability zones only without reaching the oil trapped in low permeability region; …
Void Fraction Measurements In Large (0.3 M) Diameter Bubble Column Using Wire Mesh Sensor And Pressure Transducers- Effect Of Sparger, Afolabi Gabriel Ojo
Void Fraction Measurements In Large (0.3 M) Diameter Bubble Column Using Wire Mesh Sensor And Pressure Transducers- Effect Of Sparger, Afolabi Gabriel Ojo
Dissertations and Theses
The importance of the accurate temporal and spatial measurements of the two-phase flow parameters in bubble columns is very well known. The aim of this research work is to report the spatial measurements of the void fraction distribution in a 30 cm diameter cylindrical bubble column using Wire Mesh Sensor (WMS) tomography and Pressure Transducers. Pair of WMS sensors, with a 64×64 wire configuration of each sensor, were installed which are separated by a distance along the axis of the bubble column. Wire Mesh Sensors and PTs Data were collected for time-averaged and transient with a sampling frequency of 1000 …
