This can be realized by operating CSP systems at temperatures above 700 °C with high-efficiency sCO2 power cycles. However, Operating CSP systems at such temperatures pose several challenges, among which the design of solar receivers to accommodate increased thermal loads is critical. To this end, this work explores and optimizes various swirl-inducing internal fin designs for solar receiver tubes. These fin designs not only improve the thermal performance of receiver tubes but also levelize temperature unevenness caused by non-uniform thermal loading. In this work, the geometric parameters of the fin designs are optimized to maximize the Nusselt number with a constraint on the friction factor. This optimization, however, is computationally intensive, requiring hundreds of simulation calls to Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models. To circumvent this problem, surrogate models are used to approximate the simulation outputs needed during the optimization. In addition, this study also examines the fin designs from an entropy generation perspective. To this end, the entropy contributions from thermal and viscous effects are quantitatively compared while varying the operational Reynolds number.","PeriodicalId":15676,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Energy Resources Technology-transactions of The Asme","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45247079","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fuel is injected by an airblast atomizer inside a model cylindrical combustion chamber. Geometry of the airblast atomizer is modeled in detail so that its impacts on droplet breakup and flow formation are accurately considered. Evaporating fuel spray is simulated by the discrete phase model based on the Eulerian-Lagrangian approach. Turbulent viscosity is numerically computed by the realizable k-ε turbulence model while the discrete ordinates model and the steady flamelet model are applied for modeling the radiative heat transfer and combustion, respectively. NO species concentrations are achieved using post-processing. It turns out that neglecting thermal radiation in well-atomized spray combustion only affects high-temperature zones through increasing axial temperature values of the mixture by almost 8%. Thermal radiation has an imperative effect on producing NO species. Without considering thermal radiation, axial NO concentration becomes almost doubled. Augmentation in mass flow rate and temperature values of atomization air enhances spray formation and combustion efficiency by increasing the evaporation rate. Changing the fuel temperature from 300 K to 325 K rises the total temperature at the end of the center line of the model combustion chamber by 9.8%. It is shown that increasing the fuel initial temperature is not a suitable choice compared to enhancing the temperature and mass flow rate of the atomization air.","PeriodicalId":15676,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Energy Resources Technology-transactions of The Asme","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43310318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, studies regarding the coupled effect of hard ions and surfactant adsorption are very limited. Thus, this study aims to present a novel approach that can capture mineral-brine, brine-oil, and brine-surfactant interactions in the presence of hard ions (Ca+2 and Mg+2). Also, we introduced four oil/surfactant-based surface complexation geochemical reactions (SCGR) in the presence of hard ions for the first time to analyze the oil-surfactant interactions. The developed thermodynamic-based geochemical model is compared and validated with recent core flooding data. Our results illustrate that the use of oil-surfactant SCGR is important and should be captured for detailed surfactant adsorption. Thus, we observed that in the presence of hard ions, surfactant adsorption increases with the temperature rise, which is due to the increase in kinetic energy. We also observed that a reduction in hardness reduces the adsorption of surfactants. Additionally, increasing surfactant concentration led to a minor increase in the adsorption of surfactant with a significant increase in its concentration in the discharge/effluent. Therefore, the hard ions (Ca+2 and Mg+2) concentration has a substantial negative effect, as they reduce the solubility of surfactant and increases its adsorption. Furthermore, the lowest level of surfactant adsorption was accomplished by injecting ten times diluted water (< 0.070 mg/g).","PeriodicalId":15676,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Energy Resources Technology-transactions of The Asme","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43064753","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The experiment is the most effective method of understanding the flow characteristics in horizontal gas wells. The greatest difference between experimental and high-pressure conditions is gas density, which could cause the established multiphase correlations unreliable when they are applied to high-pressure gas wells. Similarity numbers are widely employed in predicting flow behavior. Nevertheless, few studies focused on this area. Additionally, gas wells are characterized as high gas-liquid ratio; the majority empirical correlations were developed for oil wells, which have a more consideration in low gas-liquid ratio, influencing the precision of gas well models. An experimental examination of gas-liquid flow has been carried out in this study. First, the experimental test matrix was designed to meet each flow pattern. Next, the effect of gas velocity, liquid velocity, pipe diameter, water-cut, and inclined angle on liquid holdup was explored. Subsequently, the similarity numbers suggested have been investigated and assessed for pressure scaling up. Finally, a comprehensive model was established, which was developed to forecast pressure gradient in gas wells. Field data was supplied to assess the new correlation. The results demonstrated that the Duns-Ros and the modified Duns-Ros dimensionless numbers were improper for pressure scaling up, whereas the Hewitt-Robert Number performs best. Based on field data, the new correlation with Hewitt-Robert Number was superior to extensively employed pressure drop correlations, showing that it can deal with predicting pressure gradient in gas wells.","PeriodicalId":15676,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Energy Resources Technology-transactions of The Asme","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42036559","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Water jet coal-breaking experiments under different mean three-dimensional (3D) stresses and horizontal stress differences were carried out with a self-developed in situ stress simulator. When the mean 3D stress increased, coal changed from shear and tensile failure to shear failure, and the volume of the erosion pit first decreased rapidly and then slowly. Upon increasing the mean 3D stress from 0 to 10 MPa, the volume of the erosion pit decreased by 79.7%, and the specific energy consumption increased nearly five times. With an increase in horizontal stress difference, coal transitioned from shear failure to shear and tensile failure, resulting in a shear crack farther from the erosion pit. At a horizontal stress difference of 15 MPa, the volume of the erosion pit and specific energy consumption had maximum and minimum values, respectively. Consequently, constructing a higher horizontal stress difference helps improve the coal-breaking efficiency of water jets. This study could lay the foundation for applying water jet technology in deep coal seams.","PeriodicalId":15676,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Energy Resources Technology-transactions of The Asme","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45803127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, considering multiple evaluation indexes in oilfield development by the glowworm swarm optimization algorithm and niche technology, automatic well pattern optimization is carried out. The glowworm swarm optimization algorithm has the advantage of efficient global search and simpler algorithm flow, which can speed up the convergence and reduce the parameter adjustment. The niche technology can better maintain the diversity of the solutions, and solve the multimodal optimization problems more efficiently, accurately and reliably. The new method was used to optimized the well pattern of one block in a water flooding oilfield with high water-cut in a certain oilfield.

The calculated outcomes of the proposed model align with the observed pattern of the experimental results, and the numerical discrepancy falls within the acceptable range of 7%, showcasing the precision of the proposed model.

Six surfactants could be divided into five emulsifying types, non emulsification, emulsification inversion, early emulsification, late emulsification and whole process emulsification. The results showed that the surfactants had varying levels of effectiveness in improving displacement efficiency.

Combustor stability maps (representing flashback and blowout bounds) were identified experimentally in the Φ-OF space for the two swirlers and the results were plotted over the calculated contours of adiabatic flame temperature (AFT). Specific flames were photographed using a camera to investigate the impact of flow swirl on flame macrostructure. Also, the shapes of the selected flames were calculated numerically using the contours of OH radicals and the results showed good agreement with the photographed flame shapes. Contours of temperature and flow streamlines were plotted based on numerical calculations to figure out the influence of flow swirl on flame/flow interactions. The results showed that CH4/O2/CO2 swirl flames blow out at fixed AFT of ~1600 K with no effect of swirl on flame stability near the blowout. Flow/flame interactions significantly affect flame stability near the flashback limit. Flame speed (FS) and AFT correlate with one another as log(FS) ∝ 1/AFT.
