The Mathematical Model

The most complex components in heavy crude oils tend to form aggregates that constitute the dispersed phase in these fluids, showing the high viscosity values that characterize them. Water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions are affected by the presence and concentration of this phase in crude oil. In this paper, a theoretical study based on computational chemistry was carried out to determine the molecular interaction energies between paraffin–asphaltenes–water and four surfactant molecules to predict their effect in W/O emulsions and the theoretical influence on the pressure drop behavior for fluids that move through porous media. The mathematical model determined a typical behavior of the fluid when the parameters of the system are changed (pore size, particle size, dispersed phase fraction in the fluid, and stratified fluid) and the viscosity model determined that two of the surfactant molecules are suitable for applications in the destabilization of W/O emulsions. Therefore, an experimental study must be set to determine the feasibility of the methodology and mathematical model displayed in this work.

Abstract In this paper, a theoretical study is presented on enhancement of the solar still performance by using the exhaust gases passing inside a chimney under the still basin. The impact of the exhaust gases temperature on the solar still temperature, productivity, and efficiency are considered. The performance of solar still with chimney is compared with that of conventional solar still. The study is carried out under the hot and climate conditions of Upper Egypt. A complete transient mathematical model of the physical model including the solar still regions temperatures, productivity, and heat transfer between the solar still and the exhaust gases are constructed. The mathematical model is solved numerically by using fourth-order Runge-Kutta method and is programmed by using MATLAB. The mathematical model is validated using an experimental work. The results show that the solar still saline water temperature increases and productivity with using and rising the exhaust gases. Furthermore, the impact of using exhaust gases on the still performance in winter is greater than in summer. using chimney exhaust gases at 75 °C and 125 °C enhances the daily freshwater yield of the conventional still by more than three times and about six times in winter, respectively, and about two and half times and more than three times in summer, respectively.

Inhomogeneous Liquids

The article defines the basic concepts of filtration theory and provides an overview of the existing mathematical models of inhomogeneous liquids in porous media. The paper considers the Stefan problem. The number of scientific papers devoted to the study of porous structures has recently increased. This is primarily due to the fact that the prob-lems of oil and uranium production have been identified, and the solution of environmental problems is overdue. Therefore, a new device is needed to develop models of liquid filtration. With the advent and development of computer technology, it has become easier to solve problems that require numerical methods for their solution. Understanding the movement of fluids and the mechanism of dissolution of rocks under the action of acids in heterogeneous porous media is of great importance for the extraction and production of oil and the effective management of these processes. The article examines the mathematical model of the theory of isothermal filtration. Possible variants of the solva-bility of the model are shown. The research scheme consists of the output of a mathematical model, the formulation of the problem, one variant of the solution of the problem, the algorithm of the numerical method of solving the problem.

The Mathematical Model

The mathematical model based on system of momentum and energy equations for free convection flow along a vertical surface in porous media under boundary conditions of the third sort is solved analytically using the method of matched asymptotic expansions. The region of validity for boundary layer model and expansions for stream function and temperature with parameter of perturbations were defined. The dependence of characteristic flow from governing dimensionless parameters and was analyzed numerically. The influence of viscous and convective terms of momentum equation in the proposed mathematical model significantly increases the rate of heat transfer on plate in porous media in comparison with Darsy flow model.

Nanoparticles Suspension

In this paper, the magnetic nanoparticles are injected into a water-oil, two-phase system under the influence of an external permanent magnetic field. We lay down the mathematical model and provide a set of numerical exercises of hypothetical cases to show how an external magnetic field can influence the transport of nanoparticles in the proposed two-phase system in porous media. We treat the water-nanoparticles suspension as a miscible mixture, whereas it is immiscible with the oil phase. The magnetization properties, the density, and the viscosity of the ferrofluids are obtained based on mixture theory relationships. In the mathematical model, the phase pressure contains additional term to account for the extra pressures due to fluid magnetization effect and the magnetostrictive effect. As a proof of concept, the proposed model is applied on a countercurrent imbibition flow system in which both the displacing and the displaced fluids move in opposite directions. Physical variables, including water-nanoparticles suspension saturation, nanoparticles concentration, and pore wall/throat concentrations of deposited nanoparticles, are investigated under the influence of the magnetic field. Two different locations of the magnet are studied numerically, and variations in permeability and porosity are considered.

The Mathematical Model

This paper describes a simplified mathematical model for thermal recovery by oxidation for flow of oxygen and oil in porous media. Some neglected important physical effects include gravity, compressibility and heat loss to the rock formation, but heat longitudinal conduction and capillary pressure difference between the phases are considered. The mathematical model is obtained from the mass balance equations for air and oil, energy balance and Darcy's law applied to each phase. Based on this model some typical features in low temperature oxidation concerning the wave structure are captured. Numerical simulations showing saturations and temperature profiles are reported.

The Mathematical Model

The paper is devoted to the study of the effect of the intensity of aerosol fluctuations on the dis-tribution of fractions of the dispersed component of the coagulating aerosol. Oscillations of aerosol in closed channel are numerically modeled in operation. To describe the dynamics of the carrier medium, a two-dimensional non-stationary system of Navier-Stokes equations for compressed gas is used. They are written taking into account interfacial power interaction and interfacial heat ex-change. To describe the dynamics of the dispersed phase, a system of equations is solved for each of its fractions. It includes an equation of continuity for the “average density” of the fraction, equa-tions of preservation of spatial components of the pulse and an equation of preservation of thermal energy of the fraction of the dispersed phase of the gas suspension. Phase-to-phase power interac-tion included Archimedes force, attached mass force, and aerodynamic drag force. Heat exchange between the carrier medium-gas and each of the fractions of the dispersed phase was also taken into account. The mathematical model of dynamics of polydisperse aerosol was supplemented by the mathematical model of collision coagulation of aerosol. For the velocity components of the mixture, uniform Dirichlet boundary conditions were set. For the remaining functions of the dynamics of the multiphase mixture, uniform Neumann boundary conditions were set. The equations were solved by the explicit McCormack method with a nonlinear correction scheme that allows to obtain a mono-tone solution. As a result of numerical calculations, it was determined that in the vicinity of the os-cillating piston, an area with an increased content of coarse particles is formed. The coagulation process results in a monotonous increase in volume content of the coarse particle fraction and a mo-notonous decrease in volume content of fine particles. Increasing the intensity of gas fluctuations leads to intensification of the process of coagulation of aerosol droplets.

The Mathematical Model

The effect of the linearized treatment of the equation describing the transient flow of a compressible liquid through elastic porous media is studied analytically in this paper. It is shown that if there is a need for a simplified description based on the linearization of the original nonlinear partial differential equation, then it has to be done in an optimal sense. However, even then the mathematical model may degenerate for certain boundary conditions and some values of parameters defining the dependence of fluid and media properties on pressure. This fact is illustrated by the help of a simple example of transient filtration in a semi-infinite Hookeian medium. The reliability and adequateness of the a priori linearized equation is discussed.
