polymeric matrix, where the particles are trapped. Polymeric chain provide electrostatic or steric stabilization to disperse the particles. Rheological shear thinning properties fine some beneficial in the preparation of suspension and their uses. As viscosity reduces at high shear rate facilities deagglomeration, mixing and flow of…
Problem Statement Production from modern shale oil reservoirs is done typically through hydraulic fracturing in horizontal wells. Although this discovery has led to a massive increase in production in areas that were otherwise thought to be unprofitable, there is still an enormous amount of oil left in the reservoirs. It is estimated that oil recovery is less than 10% from shale oil reservoirs. 1 Of that 10%, is it estimated only 1-2% of the reserves are recoverable. With numbers so low, it is…
included in the equation and is directly proportional to Drag force. Fluid Density: Increased density means an increase in mass, which increases resistance to the object that is passing through it. Properties of the Fluid: Compressibility and Viscosity; as the object passes through a certain material the matter will be compressed such that the object may pass with ease. If it is non-compressible the air drag will increase thus denying the object maneuverability. Factors Affecting Lift:…
In experiment one, acetone evaporated the most quickly because its molecules have the lowest force of attraction. Ethanol evaporated the slowest because it has the highest force of attraction. This shows that if molecules have a strong force of attraction, it takes longer for them to separate from each other into a gaseous form. Hexane didn’t evaporate most quickly due to the long length of its carbon chains, which holds the molecules together with london dispersion bonds more strongly than for…
formulated without emulsifier (F2) and without chantilly (F3). Proteins greatly contribute to the development o the ice cream structure, including emulsification and water retention capcity. This ability of water retention of proteins leads to increased viscosity (KINSELLA, 1984), which benefits the body of the ice cream, increasing the melting time of the ice cream and contributinf to the reduction of cold sensation (GOFF et al.,…
boundaries is the presence of the phreatic zone: explosive volcanic activity involving steam derived from water that has been trapped as a plate subducts. At constructive/divergent boundaries, the emerging lava is generally basic and therefore has a low viscosity, allowing it to flow easily causing much less violent eruptions. Events occur frequently but not explosively at constructive plate margins. A good example is the Mid Atlantic Ridge where the ocean floor is lined with constant, low risk…
Multi-stage fracturing is an advanced drilling technology that enhances the production capabilities through maximizing the contact area of unconventional wells with the reservoir production zones. During the fracturing process, a special fluid (primarily a mixture of sand and water) is blown out at a high pressure into the shale rock formation creating channels through which hydrocarbons can easily migrate to the well. Multi-stage fracturing is a combination of fracturing and plugging processes.…
Conclusion On heating a solution, it is known that viscosity gradually decreases, with decrease in viscosity, the speed and movement of the ions increases. In other words, the conductance of the electrolyte increases with increases in temperature. Hence, the result of the experiment agrees with reasoning. Precautions Variation…
possible due to its ability to print robust products with very fast speed. CLIP overpowers the current techniques of 3D printing with the aforementioned benefits. With the correctly controlled levels of oxygen, light intensity, geometry and resin viscosity, fine objects can be produced with end-product level of quality. CLIP will be very useful in medical applications which could enhance the quality of life of the world. With the capability of building strong and durable final products with…
1a) Yes, there is a correlation between the structures and the observed volatilities of compounds in Step (1a) and Step (1b). In Step (1a), n-pentane had the highest vapor pressure because the compound evaporated the fastest. N-heptane had the second highest vapor pressure, followed by n-decane with the lowest vapor pressure. The molecular structure correlates with the volatility because of the molecular weight for each compound. N-pentane is the lightest compound, followed by n-heptane and…
