Analytical Modeling Closing Pressure

The usual requirement that the permeability of the cover layer should be larger than that of the underlayers cannot be met in the case of a closed block revetment and other systems with low permeable cover layer. The low permeable cover layer introduces uplift pressures during wave attack. In this case, the permeability ratio of the cover layer and the filter, represented in the leakage length, is found to be the most important structural parameter, determining the uplift pressure. This is also the base of analytical model. 

Two types of analytical models are available for dealing with cyhndrical pressure pipes. The thin wall method is the most commonly adopted solution. It is based on a simple mechanics approach and is only apphcable to vessels having a diameter-to-wall-thickness ratio of greater than 20 (Hearn, 1997). Using the thin wall method for an unconstrained, closed-end thin wall cylindrical pressure vessel, the circumferential hoop stress and longitudinal axial stress can be shown to take the form ... 

If the dependence of Ar on saturation is known, then it can be used in eq 49 (via eq 50) directly. Nguyen and co-workers and Berning and Djilali assume a linear dependence of Ar on saturation, and most of the other models use a cubic dependence the model of Weber and Newman yields close to a cubic dependence. This last model differs from the others because it obtains an analytic expression for Ar as a function of the capillary pressure (the independent variable). Furthermore, they also calculated and used residual or irreducible saturations, which are known to but have only been... 

In closing, we see that certain simplified models are beneficial, especially when they permit analytical solutions to be derived showing the influence of all key governing parameters. As seen in the above analysis, however, certain information is unavailable such as information on the transient cell voltage. In addition, effort is needed to independently assess the overall cell resistance, R(I). which, in general, is also a function of other parameters (reactant concentration, temperature, and pressure). This can be remedied by adding additional equations as the following section shows. 

Analytical Methods. A piece of Avcothane pump or Biomer film was pressed against a KRS-5 plate which was the internal reflection plate by applying maximum pressure to insure close contact by using a sample holder provided by the Wilkes model 9 attachment. As illustrated in Chart I, the incident angle was 60° and the polymer was pressed against only one side of the KRS-5 since the IR-absorption intensity was too... 

In this section, we will study the immiscible, constant density flow through a homogeneous lineal core where the effects of capillary pressure are insignificant. In particular, we will derive exact, analytical, closed form solutions for the forward modeling problem for a single core. These solutions include those for saturation, pressure and shock front velocity, for arbitrary relative permeability and fractional flow functions. We will determine what formations properties can be inferred, assuming the existence of a propagating front, when the front velocity is known. The Darcy velocities are... 

The physical model of the pressurized cooldown process proposed from the above observations is as follows When the line inlet valve is opened, a liquid front quickly advances into the line. This front initially overshoots its equilibrium" position, and pressure surges result. The front then proceeds in a relatively uniform manner down the line at a rate that is primarily controlled by the ability of the line to vent the cooldown gas. The arrival of single-phase liquid at the end of the line corresponds closely with the attainment of equilibrium wall temperature. This physical model will serve as a guide in the development of an analytical solution of line cooldown time.
