The results from the area traverse measurements of the unsteady total temperature using a high response aspirating probe downstream of the second stator of a three stage axial flow compressor are presented. The measurements were conducted at the peak efficiency operating point. The unsteady total temperature data is resolved into deterministic and unresolved components. Hub and casing regions have high levels of unsteadiness and consequently high levels of mixing. These regions have significant levels of shaft resolved and unresolved unsteadiness. Comparisons are made between the total temperature and the total pressure data to examine the rotor 2 wake characteristics and the temporal variation of the stator exit flow. Isentropic efficiency calculations at the midpitch location show that there is about a 4% change in the algebraically averaged efficiency across the blades of the second rotor and if all the rotor 2 blades were behaving as a “best” blade, the improvement in efficiency would be about 1.3%. An attempt is made to create a composite flow field picture by correlating the unsteady velocity data with temperature and pressure data.

Summary Gas wells in low-permeability formations usually require hydraulic fracturing to be commercially viable. Pressure transient analysis in hydraulically fractured tight gas wells is commonly based on analysis of three flow regimes: bilinear, linear, and pseudoradial. Without the presence of pseudoradial flow, neither reservoir permeability nor fracture half-length can be independently estimated. In practice, as pseudoradial flow is often absent, the resulting estimation is uncertain and unreliable. On the other hand, elliptical flow, which exists between linear flow and pseudoradial flow, is of long duration (typically months to years). We can acquire much rate and pressure data during this flow regime, but no practical well test analysis technique is currently available to interpret these data. This paper presents a new approach to reliably estimate reservoir and hydraulic fracture properties from analysis of pressure data obtained during the elliptical flow period. The method is applicable to estimate fracture half-length, formation permeability, and skin factor independently for both infinite- and finite-conductivity fractures. It is iterative and features rapid convergence. The method can estimate formation permeability when pseudoradial flow does not exist. Coupled with stable deconvolution technology, which converts variable production-rate and pressure measurements into an equivalent constant-rate pressure drawdown test, this method can provide fracture-property estimates from readily available, noisy production data. We present synthetic and field examples to illustrate the procedures and demonstrate the validity and applicability of the proposed approach.

Estimation of rate profile along the well is important information for reservoir characterisation since it allows distinction of the production rates from different layers. The temperature and pressure sensors in a well are small and inexpensive; while flow meters are cumbersome and expensive, and affect the flow in the well. The method presented in this peer-reviewed paper shows its significance in predicting the gas rate from temperature and pressure data. A mathematical model for pressure and temperature distributions along a gas well has been developed. Temperature and pressure profiles from nine well intervals in field A (Cooper Basin, Australia) have been matched with the mathematical model to determine the flow rates from different layers in the well. The presented model considers the variables as functions of thermal properties at each location, which is more accurate and robust than previous methods. The results of tuning the mathematical model to the field data show good agreement with the model prediction. Simple and robust explicit formulae are derived for the effective estimation of flow rate and thermal conductivity in gas wells. The proposed approach has been applied to determine the well gas rate and formation thermal conductivity from the acquired well pressure and temperature data in field A. It allows for recommending well stimulation of layers with low production rates.

Measurement error often exists during hot pressing of the wood-based panels due to the complex mechanism of the process, technological conditions, environment noises and performance of the sensors. Multi-sensor technology is used for mat temperature and pressure data processing to improve the precision and reliability of data. By determining the information weight coefficient with the corresponding measurement variance of each sensor the weighted least square algorithm is applied to achieve high accuracy of overall estimation. The precision of overall estimation value is preferable than the partial estimation of each sensor. A target recognition frame of control strategy is set, and D-S evidence combination principles and reasoning theory are introduced to select the object of greatest credibility for decision making. The results of experiment demonstrate the effectiveness and reliability of the algorithm.

The local instantaneous temperature, heat transfer coefficient, and pressure data, gathered around a horizontal tube in a fluidized bed, have been analyzed using the deterministic chaos theory. A stainless steel heat transfer tube, carrying a hot water flow, was placed in a cold bubbling fluidized bed. The tube was instrumented in the circumferential direction with five fast-responding surface thermocouples and a vertical pressure differential sensor. The local temperature and pressure data were measured simultaneously at a frequency of 120 Hz. Additionally, the local instantaneous heat transfer coefficient was evaluated by solving the transient two-dimensional heat conduction equation across the tube wall numerically. The mutual information function (MIF) has been applied to the signals to observe the relationship between points separated in time. MIF was also used to provide the most appropriate time delay constant τ to reconstruct an m-dimensional phase portrait of the one-dimensional time series. The distinct variation of MIF around the tube indicates the variations of solid-surface contact in the circumferential direction. The correlation coefficient was evaluated to calculate the correlation exponentv, which is closely related to the fractal dimension. The correlation exponent is a measure of the strange attractor. The minimum embedding dimension as well as the degrees of freedom of the system were evaluated via the correlation coefficient. Kolmogorov entropies of the signals were approximated by using the correlation coefficient. Kolmogorov entropy considers the inherent multi-dimensional nature of chaotic data. A positive estimation of Kolmogorov entropy is an indication of the chaotic nature of the signal. The Kolmogorov entropies of the temperature data around the tube were found to be between 10 bits/s and 24 bits/s. A comparison between the signals has shown that the local instantaneous heat transfer coefficient exhibits a higher degree of chaos than the local temperature and pressure signals.
