Pressure Vs Volume Analysis Essay

Set 2
A pressure vs. Volume analysis was done to determine the bubble points for Oil A, Oil B and water, with CO2
Oil A
Represented in Fig. 7 below, the Pressure vs. Volume behavior of Oil A is displayed, the graph is separated into two different sections as Oil A transitions from a single phase fluid to a two phase fluid, the transition occurs at 800 psi which represents the bubble point for Oil A. Fig XX. Pressure vs. Volume Oil A
Analysis was done on the relationship between compressibility of oil vs. pressure. As shown in the figure below, compressibility increases linearly as pressure decreases from 2500psi to the bubble point. At the bubble point, as pressure decreases now the compressibility increases exponentially. The change in gradient occurs as there is gas present in the fluid. Fig XX.

) and one below the bubble point was used. As shown in the figure, above the bubble point as pressure increases Bo decreases. Below the bubble point, as pressure increases toward the bubble point, so does formation volume factor although with a higher gradient than compared to the one below the bubble point. Fig XX. Pressure vs. Rs and Bo Oil A
Oil B
In the figure below, the Pressure vs. Volume for Oil B is presented. Along with Oil A, volume increases linearly as pressure decreases. The two relationships appear to be similar, although with different gradients. The bubble point as displayed in the figure below occurs at 200psi. Fig XX. Pressure vs. Volume Oil B
Using Eq. 3, the compressibility of Oil B was calculated against pressure as shown in the figure below. Compressibility above the bubble point increases with decreasing pressure, although difficult to interpret as the gradient is very small. At 200psi, compressibility jumps suddenly, indicating the change in gradient. Reason being the bubble point was not reached until the pressure was reduced from 2500psi to

    Introduction Elena Muhs was contacted by the company Tantrum Toys to test a new bubble solution they had created to see if it would make bigger, longer lasting bubbles compared to other formulas. Her group was instructed to test six bubble solutions, one of which was Tantrum Toys new solution and another was Tantrum Toys currently marketed solution. Each solution was identically packaged and marked with only a solution number in order to eliminate the possibility of bias in the laboratory. Muhs and her group of scientist have been asked to find the best bubble solution. Muhs was instructed to test the size of bubbles created from each solution in two tests, one was a dome bubble test and the other was a free-floating bubble test.…

    Molar Volume of a Gas Lab The purpose of the lab was to do an experiment to determine the molar volume of hydrogen gas at standard temperature and pressure, or STP. To start the experiment, a beaker was filled with water and then a cage was created with a copper wire. A piece of magnesium was cut and placed inside the cage in order to keep the reaction going until all of the magnesium reacted with the hydrochloric acid. The eudiometer tube was filled with 15 mL of hydrochloric acid and water and then plugged with a one-hole rubber stopper that held the cage in place, ensuring that the magnesium would react with the excess hydrochloric acid.…

    Does The Squidy Sink?

    Squidy was a little “squid” in a 2 liter bottle that floated at the top, and when you squeezed the bottle, Squidy sank to the bottom. Then, when you released the bottle, Squidy would float back up to the top. Squidy used some of the gas laws and principles we learned in class such as: Boyle’s law, Pascal’s law, and Archimedes principle. Pascal's law plays a major role in Squidy. Pascal's law is about applying pressure, and when we applied pressure to the bottle, it forced Squidy to sink.…

    Pressure on the airfoil is measured by tappings along the two surfaces connected to a manometer. The flow velocity is kept constant at 25 m/s and the experiment is conducted in two phases. Firstly, the flap is not deployed and incidence is increased by 5^° steps starting from -5^° to 〖25〗^°. The second phase consist in deploying the flap at 〖-10〗^°, 〖10〗^°, 〖20〗^°, 〖40〗^°, 〖60〗^° and investigate pressure distribution under these conditions. To understand and visualize what is the nature of flow along the airfoil, Plots of C_p against x⁄c are created by collected data.…

    Channel Transition Essay

    • 4 Pages

    In sub-critical flow transition, the emphasis is essentially to provide smooth and gradual changes in the boundary to prevent flow separation and consequent energy losses. Even if slight change the curvature in transition, the boundary zone of the retarded liquid expands rapidly. Its impact on velocity distributions which become highly uneven with corresponding large values of energy coefficient (α) & momentum coefficient () and fluid flow may fail completely to flow the channel walls. Several experimental studies carried out before to find out the losses in the abrupt expansion (Hinds 1928; Formica, 1955; Smith and Yu, 1966; Mazumdar, 1967; Nashta and Garde, 1988). The channel transition ratio (B/b) has a significant influence upon the…

    RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Air pressure in the blow tube Figure 3 represents air pressure in the blow tube for 4 bar and 6 bar reservoir pressures. Considering only the 4 bar reservoir pressure case, peak pressure observed is 379538.2 Pa, which is 274.5% more than atmospheric pressure. And peak pressure observed is not equal to 4 bar, which can be attributed to the frictional losses in the blow tube and in the pipe connecting blow tube and air reservoir. Fig.…

    A Helmholtz resonator is a rigid container which has an opening to the air surrounding it. A common example of a Helmholtz resonator is a bottle because it has a set volume as well as having an opening which is open to the surrounding air. By considering the Helmholtz resonator as having a neck, such as the neck of a wine bottle, the dynamics of the system may be described. When energy is introduced near the opening of the bottle, for example blowing across it, some of the energy will vibrate the cylindrical plug of air inside the neck of the bottle. This plug of air is assumed to move as a unit.…
