Pressure-preserved coring has no direct effect on in-situ stress, and its influence on stress release is related to drilling fluid pressure. Yet fluid pressure in the coring process was not considered in most former numerical simulation studies on core discing. In this paper, the discrete element method software PFC3D is used to conduct a numerical simulation of the coring process. According to the two conditions without drilling fluid pressure and with it, and different horizontal in-situ stresses of 5-160 MPa, fracture and discing of the core with drilling are observed. In addition, the law of fracture and discing in the process of coring was studied, and the function of pressure-preserved coring to prevent fracture and discing is explored.

Many studies dealt with the investigation of the effects of the perforated plate?s geometry on flow parameters in the cases where incoming flow is perpendicular to the plate and the plate is covering the whole cross-section of the flowing channel. These results are partially applicable in cases where flow is inclined on the plate or when the plate is not occupying the whole cross-section of the channel. The subject of this work is a numerical investigation of flow through the rectangular channel with a perforated plate in various positions in the cross-section of the channel. The aim was to investigate the effect of the plate position on the flow. The perforated plates were modeled as thin porous media of finite thickness by using the directional loss model. Numerical experiments are carried out by using Computational Fluid Dynamics software Ansys CFX. Results of pressure drop and velocity distribution behind the plate are compared to the results of CFD simulation of the full 3D plate model. In order to obtain a reasonable agreement both of the pressure drop and velocity distribution behind the plate when using a simplified thin porous plate model, the value of streamwise permeability of the plate had to be adjusted. The level of adjustments has determined iteratively and it depends on the plate position in the channel?s cross-section.","PeriodicalId":23125,"journal":{"name":"Thermal Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68242276","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Proposes a new kind of heat transfer tube with ellipsoidal dimples based on the elliptical heat transfer tube. The effects of the arrangement and pitch ellipsoidal dimples on the turbulent heat transfer and flow resistance of the heat transfer tube are further studied by numerical simulation in the range of Reynolds number in 4080~24480. The results show that the ellipsoid dimple arrangement makes the near-wall fluid produce different flow forms, which enhances the turbulence degree of the tube fluid and thus improves the convective heat transfer capacity of the tube. Among them: vertical parallel arrangement (Case1) causes convergent flow, oblique parallel arrangement (Case2) causes helical flow, and diagonal symmetrical arrangement (Case3) causes cross-helical flow. The cross-helical flow causes the most significant degree of turbulence, followed by the helical flow. Furthermore, the arrangement and pitch of the ellipsoidal dimples also have an essential influence on the heat transfer performance and flow resistance of the heat transfer tube. The Nusselt number and Friction factor of Case1, Case2 and Case3 increase successively. But the Nusselt number and Friction factor gradually decrease with the rise of the pitch of ellipsoidal dimples. However, under different ellipsoidal dimples pitch, the comprehensive performance of Case1, Case2 and Case3 is better than that of smooth elliptical tubes. Among them, Case3 has the best performance when P=15mm, and the performance evaluation criteria value is up to 1.39.","PeriodicalId":23125,"journal":{"name":"Thermal Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68262000","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, it has drawbacks of slow reaction rate during calcination and incomplete reversible carbonation which limit its use. In this paper, SiO2 has been studied as a dopant for CaCO3 to improve its cyclic performance. CaCO3 samples were loaded with different concentrations of SiO2 and its effect on the thermal energy density of CaCO3 was determined. Afterwards, the effect of the dopant on the heat storage process of the synthesized composite along with kinetics of decarbonation reaction was investigated. Cyclic tests were performed to determine the reusability of the material. It was found that the addition of dopant helped to increase the rate of decarbonation reaction, thereby making the heat storage process more efficient as compared to pure CaCO3. The activation energy values are 255.9, 280.1, 244.9 and 234.8 kJ/mol for 5%, 15%, 30% and 0% doped SiO2 samples, respectively. Furthermore, thermal energy storage density increases when the amount of dopant decreases in the samples such as the 30% and 5% doped samples have gravimetric energy storage densities of 339.85 and 759.24 J/g, respectively.
