... interference testing. The problem is that such test involves flow of two fluids, water and oil. This paper presents a new mathematical model and analysis method for vertical interference testing using top completion (in the oil leg) for production and bottom completion (in the water leg) for observation...

...Kent Perry Although the microhole coiled tubing drilling rigs have been used extensively in Canada, their application in the U.S. has been very limited. In an effort to introduce this technology to the U.S. operators, GTI, with the support of DOE∕NETL, has completed a successful field testing...

.... Representative numerical results were validated with experimental data for a variety of speed, load, and EGR testing scenarios using a 0.697 l three-cylinder diesel engine equipped with cooled EGR. Simulation and experimental results showed a 16% drop in N O x emissions using EGR, but experienced a 7% loss...

... a methodology for reducing the number of modes representing the drill string. The frequency response function and stability diagram are used as measures of dynamic similarity between the proposed model and the drill string. We also introduce a novel approach to represent a drill string in laboratory test rigs...

... in which the thermal engine is a small turbo-gas and the traction is fully electric) was demonstrated in a series of previous works by the same authors, and some experimental tests were conducted at the ENEA-Casaccia Laboratories on a small 45 kW gas turbine set, to investigate the performance...

... temperature. Quantification of a fuel’s bottom ash removal requirements can be useful for plant design. The effect of fuel properties, on the rate of bottom ash production in a laboratory FBC test system was examined. The work used coal products ranging in ash content from 20 to 40 + wt. % . The system’s...

...Jack D. Marrelli; Ram S. Mohan; Shoubo Wang; Luis Gomez; Ovadia Shoham First oil production from a deep-water oil field is to be achieved by the installation of an initial development system (IDS). Well testing is required for field development and reservoir management. The well testing system...

...Desheng Zhou; Andrew K. Wojtanowicz Typical analysis of the Leak-off testing (LOT) in wells assumes elastic wellbore and involves identification of diversion points from linear trends of the recorded plots. However, LOTs from wells in the shallow marine sediments (SMS) are inherently nonlinear...

...Man-Hoe Kim; Clark W. Bullard A performance evaluation for a residential window air conditioning system with microchannel condensers has been performed. First, a series of wind-tunnel calorimeter tests were conducted for two different prototype microchannel heat exchangers. The measured heat...

...Yuh-Long Hwang; John R. Howell Reductions in furnace exit gas temperature (FEGT) by changing boiler operating variables and/or adding wall soot blowers and/or lowering burner elevations are investigated. Evaluation of these approaches requires experimental furnace testing and computational furnace...

...Douglas K. Priedeman, Mem. ASME; Michael A. Garrabrant; James A. Mathias; Roger E. Stout; Richard N. Christensen This research effort involved experimentally testing an advanced-cycle, ammonia-water absorption chiller with a cooling capacity of 17.6 kW (5 refrigeration tons (RT)). The system...

... of planar radial blades. In this paper, correlation between the material specific force and area of cut is obtained for Sierra White granite and Berea sandstone from test data developed at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, NM. These correlations, together with an improved bit model in which...
