Abstract:

The alteration of the vapor and liquid equilibrium (VLE) of volatile organic mixtures by using porous media at the liquid-vapor interface was studied. Kelvin, assuming ideal behavior of fluids, first introduced the vapor pressure of liquid over a meniscus as a function of its surface tension and the radius of the curvature. A thermodynamic model (SSmod model) predicting the VLE of non-ideal organic mixtures in porous media was developed as a function of pore sizes based on the pressure equations available in literature. The model was used to predict the VLE of two aqueous alcohol solutions, et

Abstract:

Understanding vertical heat transfer and through flow in porous media such as geothermal reservoirs is of great interest. In a geothermal system, a denser layer of liquid water may overlie a less dense layer of water vapour. Vertical and horizontal thermal diffusion stabilises such configurations, but the buoyancy contrast can cause instability. In this study, the mechanisms contributing to the stability and instability of such systems are analysed using a separate-phase model with a sharp interface be- tween liquid and vapour.

Abstract:

The propagation of a gaseous detonation wave into a porous medium has been studied experimentally and theoretically. The porous medium is composed of inert spheres of equal diameter contained within a detonation tube. The propagation mechanisms were elucidated by means of high-speed Schlieren and open shutter photography of the wave-particle interactions in 2-D obstacle arrays, to simulate the phenomenon in actual porous media. It is found that a Chapman-Jouguet (CJ) detonation can transmit into a porous medium filled with detonable gas and continue to propagate as a quasi-steady combustion wa

Abstract:

The study of flow of water through porous medium is important in geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering. For determining the in situ hydraulic conductivity characteristics of porous media, one of the most convenient and popular methods is the cased borehole technique. In this method, water is allowed to enter the excavated region of the cased borehole inserted into the ground. The rate of rise of water in the casing is then used to estimate the hydraulic conductivity characteristics of the porous medium in the vicinity of the entry point. When the porous medium has isotropic hydraulic c

Abstract:

The thermal and structural performance of building elements can be significantly impaired by the presence of excess moisture. At present, designers have available only simplistic steady-state techniques to predict such effects, for example that presented by Glaser in 1959. These simple models recognise moisture transport in vapour form only and do not allow information on material moisture content to be obtained directly. They are also based on the assumption that the material transport properties are independent of the prevailing environmental conditions, whereas they are in fact complex func

We describe a model of buoyancy-driven flow in a saturated reactive porous medium, the porosity and permeability of which evolve through precipitation and dissolution as a mineral is lost or gained from the pore fluid. We consider two scenarios: convection driven solely by solutally induced buoyancy effects with a vertically varying equilibrium solubility, and convection driven by a combination of thermally and solutally induced buoyancy effects where the solubility of the dissolved component depends on the temperature. In both cases we characterise the onset of convection using linear stabili

The modelling of contaminant transport in porous media is an important topic to geosciences and geo-environmental engineering. An accurate assessment of the spatial and temporal distribution of a contaminant is an important step in the environmental decision-making process. Contaminant transport in porous media usually involves complex non-linear processes that result from the interaction of the migrating chemical species with the geological medium. The study of practical problems in contaminant transport therefore usually requires the development of computational procedures that can accuratel

Development of a hydrocarbon reservoir requires information about the type of fluid that saturates the pore space, and the permeability distribution that determines how the fluid can be extracted. The presence of fractures in a reservoir can be useful for obtaining this information. The main objectives of this thesis are to investigate how fracturing can be detected remotely using exploration seismology. Fracturing will effect seismic data in a number of ways. Firstly, if the fractures are aligned preferentially in some direction, the medium will exhibit long wavelength anisotropy. In turn, if

In order to elucidate the propagation mechanism of detonations, the failure mechanism of detonations propagating in tubes with porous walls is investigated experimentally. Two distinct failure mechanisms were identified depending on the type of detonating mixture. Experiments in mixtures characterized by piecewise laminar reaction zone structures with weak three-dimensional effects revealed that the attenuation and failure is caused by the global mass divergence to the porous, permeable walls. The limits observed in these mixtures agreed very well with the theoretical limiting condition

Produced water presents economical and environmental challenges to oil producers. Downhole separation technology is able to separate oil or gas from produced fluid in downhole environment and injects waste water into deeper formations, thus saving energy and reducing waste emission. More than 120 downhole separation systems have been installed worldwide, but only about 60% of the installations achieved success. Most of the failures were due to the injectivity decline under the invasion of impurities in the injected water, such as suspended particles and oil droplets. A reliable model is needed

Partial saturation of porous rock by two fluids substantially affects compressional wave propagation.

When partial saturation is mesoscopic, i.e. existing on a length scale much greater than pore scale but less than wavelength scale, significant attenuation can arise for frequencies 10-1000 Hz.
