Most of the existing gas pipelines design procedures are based on a particular friction factor and steady-state flow analysis. This paper examined the behavior of different friction factors and the need to develop model analysis capable of calculating unsteady-state gas flow rate in horizontal and inclined pipes. The results show different variation in flow rate with Panhandle A and Panhandle B attaining stability in accurate time with initial unsteadiness at the instance of flow. Chen and Jain friction factors have opposition to flow with high flow rate: The prediction also reveals that Colebrook-White degenerated to Nikuradse friction factor at high Reynolds number. The horizontal and inclined flow equations are considerably enhanced on the usage of different friction factors with the aid of Matlab to handle these calculations.展开更多

In this paper,a novel frequency-domain matching pursuits (FDMP) algorithm is proposed to estimate the parameters of the steady-state components and separate the unsteady-state disturbances from power quality signals. Firstly,the time-frequency atoms and redundant dictionaries are constructed according to the characteristics of power quality signal spectra. Secondly,the steady-state components and unsteady-state disturbances of power quality signals are decomposed by FDMP into two mutually orthogonal subspaces in Hilbert space. Furthermore,the expressions for parameters calculation of steady-state components have been derived. The experiments show that the relative errors of frequency and amplitude estimations of steady-state components are less than 2 × 10 -4 and 5 × 10 -3 respectively,and phase estimation errors are less than 1. 6° under the existence of both interharmonics and unsteady-state disturbances. The steady-state components and unsteady-state disturbances are separated quickly and accurately.展开更多

Conventional mining of low permeability reservoir is commonly utilizing the hydraulic fracturing technology, whereas, it encounters various technical issues, such as clay expansion and water lock damage. Using the fluid of supercritical carbon dioxide(S-CO_2) to exploit the low permeability oil and gas reservoirs is attracting more attention. The implementation of S-CO_2, without liquid phase, can help avoid the aforementioned problems. Nevertheless, the phase change of CO_2 during fracturing is complicate, and it is difficult to accurately predict the CO_2 phase transition. In this work, first, the physical properties of S-CO_2 were analyzed by the Span-Wagner model and Vesovic model. Next, S-CO_2 was applied to a typical oilfield, and an unsteady coupling model of heat transfer and pressure drop was developed. Then the staggered grid method and iteration procedures were used for numerical solutions, and the temperature and pressure distributions of wellbores were investigated. The results indicate that the temperature control of a wellbore is the key to the phase prediction of S-CO_2; CO_2 within the single-diameter pipeline below 2300 m can maintain the supercritical state, while CO_2 within the stepped pipeline can maintain the supercritical state at the depth of 2280 m. Moreover, compared with the single-diameter pipeline, the bottom pressure of the stepped pipeline is lower and the bottom temperature is higher. By analyzing the flow and heat transfer of S-CO_2 in the wellbores, the phase state of S-CO_2 was well predicted, which is helpful to improve the exploring performance of low permeability oil and gas reservoirs.展开更多
