Michigan Tech Publications, Part 1

Effective thermal conductivity (ETC), as a necessary parameter in the thermal properties of rock, is affected by the pore structure and the thermal conduction conditions. To evaluate the effect of fractures and saturated fluids on sandstone’s thermal conductivity, we simulated thermal conduction along three orthogonal (X, Y, and Z) directions under air- and water-saturated conditions on reconstructed digital rocks with different fractures. The results show that the temperature distribution is separated by the fracture. The significant difference between the thermal conductivities of solid and fluid is the primary factor influencing the temperature distribution, and the thermal conduction mainly depends on …

The ability of ferroelectric materials to generate high voltage under mechanical stress is widely used in transducer applications. The high strain-rate adiabatic compression of poled ferroelectrics results in their complete depolarization, the release of surface charges, and the generation of up to hundreds of kilovolts of electric potential that is an order of magnitude higher than in the low-strain piezoelectric mode. Electric breakdown within adiabatically compressed ferroelectric specimens is one of the factors that affect the generation of a high voltage by ferroelectric materials under extreme stress. We report herein the results of experimental investigations of the generation of high …
