Capillary dynamics in porous media encapsulate the intricate interplay between capillary, viscous, and gravitational forces that govern fluid displacement at the pore scale. This research area is ...

The process of water–gas displacement in water–drive gas reservoirs has been always an important research topic. However, knowledge about the flow patterns of water–gas flow under different conditions ...

A new technique estimates the average capillary pressure curve for a reservoir. Data from the Western Desert in Egypt were used to develop the correlations. Application of the method to four ...

Techniques that consider all the chemical and mechanical aspects of displacing drilling fluid can benefit dramatically the economics and effectiveness of well completions in deep water. Three critical ...

Designing hydrostatic bearings is more complex than for self-acting types because of the greater number of components requiring design decisions. The pressure pads in hydrostatic bearings carry the ...

Capillary tube metering devices are found mainly in domestic and small commercial applications that experience somewhat constant heat loads on their evaporators. These systems also have small ...

Capillary tube systems do not stop the flow of refrigerant after the compressor is shut off by the cycling control. In fact, refrigerant will continue to flow from the condenser to the evaporator ...
