The hydro-mechanical behaviour of shales is becoming one of the most important issues in modern geomechanics, largely driven by petroleum industries (i.e., the extraction of shale gas), the sequestration of CO2 and the nuclear waste geological storage. In ...

Composition and fate of gas and oil released to the water column during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill

Jeremy Samuel Arey

Quantitative information regarding the endmember composition of the gas and oil that flowed from the Macondo well during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill is essential for determining the oil flow rate, total oil volume released, and trajectories and fates o ...

The discovery of oiled and non-oiled honeycomb material in the Gulf of Mexico surface waters and along coastal beaches shortly after the explosion of Deepwater Horizon sparked debate about its origin and the oil covering it. We show that the unknown pieces ...

Analysis of the swelling pressure development in opalinus clay – experimental and modelling aspects

Lyesse Laloui, Hervé Péron, Mathieu Nuth, Simon Salager

In the context of nuclear waste geological storage, deep argillaceous formations are likely to be subjected to complex mechanical, hydraulic, and thermal loads. In particular, the argillaceous material can be firstly dried, and then re-wetted. During the l ...

Influence of Oil Type and Viscosity on Droplet Size in a Flow Focusing Microfluidic Device

Martinus Gijs, Virendra Kumar Parashar, Josias Basil Wacker

We form water-in-oil droplets in a microfluidic channel-nozzle geometry for studying the influence of viscosity of oil and of different oil classes on the droplet size. We find that the chemical structure of oil dominates over its viscosity. Our studies ar ...

Intube Flow Boiling of R-407C and R-407C/Oil Mixtures. Part 1: Microfin Tube

John Richard Thome, Daniel Favrat, Olivier Zürcher

Intube evaporation tests for R-407C and R-407C/oil are reported for a microfin tube. The tests were run at a nominal inlet pressure of 6.45 bar (93.5psia) at mass velocities of 100, 200 and 300 kg/m2s (73581, 147162 and 220743 lb/h ft2) over nearly the ent ...

Flow Boiling and Pressure Drop Measurements for R134a/Oil Mixtures Part 2: Evaporating in a Plain Tube.

John Richard Thome, Daniel Favrat, Olivier Zürcher

Intube flow boiling experiments for refrigerant R-134a mixed with a lubricating oil are reported for a plain, horizontal tube. The tests were run at a nominal inlet pressure of 3.4 bar over a wide range of vapor qualities at mass velocities of 100, 200, an ...
