Various active and passive cooling methods have been explored in the literature to mitigate the effects of high operating temperatures; however, recent research has shown a growing interest in hybrid cooling systems that combine both active and passive approaches. In this context, phase change material (PCM) serves as a passive cooling method, while fluid is employed as an active cooling medium. This study introduces a channel into the PV panel base through which fluid flows. Additionally, a PCM layer is placed at the bottom of the water channel to reduce the average temperature of the fluid, thus extracting more heat compared to direct contact with the PV panel. The proposed model is compared with traditional water-cooled PV panels using a parametric approach, with varying parameters including concentration ratio, environmental temperature, wind speed, mass flow rate of water in the channel, and inlet temperature.

Carbonate reservoirs, crucial for hydrocarbon storage and extraction, present a challenge due to their complex pore structures influenced by diverse depositional environments and diagenetic processes. Traditional petrographic methods for identifying pore types, though accurate, are time-consuming and destructive. Recent approaches leverage log and core-measured compressional wave velocities and porosity, yet variability in data remains an issue. Addressing the challenge, this study distinguishes itself by employing high-resolution physical rock samples from the early Miocene dam formation, eastern province of Saudi Arabia. Through meticulous data preparation, feature engineering, and the evaluation of logistic regression, random forest classifier, gradient boosting classifier, and support vector classifier models, we have developed an advanced model capable of predicting pore types with significant accuracy. Our findings reveal that logistic regression achieves the highest accuracy (71%) among the models, effectively capturing the inherent patterns within our dataset. A detailed analysis using principal component analysis underscored the discriminative power of these models, particularly in identifying interparticle–intraparticle and moldic pore types.

Two heat transfer phenomena are related to supercritical fluids: heat transfer deterioration and enhancement. These phenomena made it difficult for Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes simulation (RANS)-based turbulence models to accurately predict the heat transfer. In this study, an assessment of RANS-based turbulence models is conducted for supercritical carbon dioxide under two different flow conditions (i.e., horizontal flow and natural circulation vertical flow). The two cases are simulated using current turbulence models (i.e., SST k-ω, k-ε, RNG k-ε) and a newly developed model based on the algebraic heat flux model (AHFM), hereafter called UniPi. It was found that for the horizontal flow case, the SST k-ω model captured the temperature difference induced by buoyancy between different regions of the wall, however, with poor accuracy in predicting wall temperatures. The RNG k-ε models captured the behavior of wall temperature across all regions with underestimated values. The enhanced wall treatment gives good predictions of wall temperatures compared to experimental data, but it underestimates the deterioration and recovery of heat transfer. In the natural circulation case, the recently developed model, which is based on AHFM, yielded better results compared to k-ε and the SST k-ω models.

The mechanical properties of rocks post-acid treatment were evaluated using gelled acid, and fracture conductivity under various stimulation methods was measured. The results reveal that both guar gum and slick water fracturing fluids induce minimal damage to reservoir permeability. Following 10 and 30 min of acid treatment, the Young's modulus of the rocks is decreased by 10.65% and 17.63%, respectively, enhancing the effectiveness of hydraulic fracturing. As closure pressure increases, the conductivity of acid-etched self-propped fractures decreases rapidly due to the highly non-uniform etching caused by the acid. The addition of proppants markedly enhances the conductivity retention of fractures. The particle size of proppants exerts a significant influence on fracture conductivity, with larger proppant sizes leading to enhanced conductivity. However, as closure stress escalates, the disparity in conductivity between fractures with varying proppant sizes diminishes. Fracture conductivity tests conducted under various stimulation methods reveal that introducing proppants before acid treatment yields the highest fracture conductivity.

However, achieving efficient proppant transport in slickwater fluid systems remains a significant challenge due to the low viscosities. A particular aspect of this challenge involves accurately estimating the height of settled proppant dunes within the created fractures. To address this issue, experimental studies were undertaken to measure the dune height of the settled proppant using two different slickwater-like fluid systems, water–sodium chloride solution to mimic increased density and water–glycerin solution to mimic increased viscosity. The measured heights of the settled proppant dune using these systems were further compared to calculated proppant dune height using previous published correlations. This comparison aimed to evaluate the accuracy and applicability of the existing correlations in predicting proppant dune height in a wider range of tested fluid systems and various proppant types. To acquire sufficient data for the comparison, a slot flow apparatus was designed and employed to conduct over 30 experiments. The fracture slot design consisted of a primary fracture along with three secondary fractures and two tertiary fractures, each characterized with a rough wall surface. Various parameters were systematically varied during the experiments, including proppant sizes, proppant densities, slurry rates, and proppant concentrations. These selected experimental conditions aimed to provide a robust dataset for the purpose of comparing and analyzing the effects of different factors on proppant dune height in the slot flow apparatus. The laboratory results show that for all tested proppants, water–glycerin solutions resulted in a lower equilibrium dune height compared to sodium chloride solutions. Additionally, the proppant particle size was found to have a significant impact on the equilibrium dune height inside the main fracture, smaller proppant created lower dune heights in comparison to larger proppant sizes. Additionally, the settled proppant reaches the equilibrium dune height more rapidly with the water–sodium chloride solution than the water–glycerin solution.
