Injection frictional pressure

Then, 11 m3 (70 barrels) of 15 /, HC1 were pumped downhole through a coil tubing. The bottomhole pressure history is in this case precisely derived from surface data, since the latter are collected in the open annular space between the coil tubing and the casing. No computation of friction pressure drops all along the injection string is needed, which removes a major source of errors in the derivation of bottomhole data. The bottomhole pressure is just equal to the sum of the surface... 

A foamed fluid with a downhole quality of 75% may, for example, require a surface quality of 80%. (Foamed stimulation treatments are always stated in terms of downhole quality, surface quality is dependent upon zone, friction pressure, depth, and treating pressure.) A closed system is necessary to inject N2 because it is a gas. Therefore, the sand can only be added to the liquid portion of the foamed fluid. In this situation, the proppant, which is added to the liquid portion of the foamed fluid stream, must be added at 2000 kg/m3 in order to achieve a downhole concentration of 400 kg/m3. This condition illustrates that maximum downhole concentrations depend upon the downhole foam quality and the maximum proppant concentrations that the blender is capable of pumping. 

The only variable that can be measured directly is the surface treating pressure (STP). The hydrostatic head (HH) and friction pressures (FP) must be calculated from two measured parameters, fluid injection rate and proppant concentration, and the perforation friction pressure drop (PFP) can be determined from the physical properties of the fluid. 

The ease with which the rubber can move from the screw into the injection barrel. Pressure applied against this movement of the rubber is known as back-pressure . Adjustment of the back pressure has a significant effect on the frictional heat developed and hence scorch and viscosity. 

Horizontal LAD channel tests show that the frictional and dynamic pressure losses within the channel are quite small. The signals are barely measurable in LH2, and the signals are small for LOX flows in excess of 2.25 kg/s. The ID model correlates with the single set of LOX channel frictional pressure drop data. Disparity is due to higher than expected screen injection velocities at the channel exit and scatter in the data. 

A friction reducer should be used in deep well treatments and high-rate treatments. Service companies have friction pressure plots or tables for calculating the excess injection pressure due to friction for various fluids, including solvent, brine, and certain acid mixtures. 

Pump-rate limitations must be considered. Smaller diameters cause higher friction pressures, which may limit treatment injection rates to lower-than-desirable levels. Acidizing through production tubing or drill pipe, for example, will allow higher injection rates. 

Maintaining maximum rate is critical for success. Maximum differential pressure dP) is maintained throughout the acid treatment. Slightly viscosified acids are often used to lower friction pressure—and can improve coverage (according to the Darcy equation for injection see equation [6.2]). Friction reduction allows for higher injection rates with lower horsepower requirements. 

The system that provides deepest penetration is an oil-external emulsified add. Add-oil emulsions can be oil eoctemal or acid external. Oil-external emulsions have higher dissolving capacity per unit volume and are generally more effective. A common emulsion mixture is 70% acid-30% oil. A limitation is that emulsified add can be difficult to pump at suffident rate in deeper wells because of high friction pressure during injection. Gelled acids provide the most friction reduction. The temperature limit of an emulsified acid is about 300°F, because of the associated well depth. 

Time, pressure, and temperature controls indicate whether the performance requirements of a molded product are being met. The time factors include the rate of injection, duration of ram pressure, time of cooling, time of piastication, and screw RPM. Pressure requirement factors relate to injection high and low pressure cycles, back pressure on the extruder screw, and pressure loss before the plastic enters the cavity which can be caused by a variety of restrictions in the mold. The temperature control factors are in the mold (cavity and core), barrel, and nozzle, as well as the melt temperature from back pressure, screw speed, frictional heat, and so on in the plasticator. 

B) Flat Liquid Sheets into Air Streams Mechanical and Aerodynamic Disintegration. In air streams (with an air flow), a liquid sheet issuing from the 2-D nozzle will form a quasi-2-D expanding spray. The breakup modes are divided into two groups (1) mechanical mode due to the action of liquid injection pressure, and (2) aerodynamic mode due to the action of air friction. 

Lubricity is a term used to describe the ability of a fluid to minimize friction between, and damage to, surfaces in relative motion under load. Fuel helps to lubricate and prevent wear of high-pressure fuel injection pump components, especially under boundary lubrication conditions. Boundary lubrication is defined as a condition whereby friction and wear between two surfaces in relative motion are determined by the properties of the surfaces and the bulk properties of the contacting fluid. The bulk viscosity of the fuel or oil is not a critical factor under boundary lubrication conditions. 

The reinforcement can be displaced significantly by fluid forces if the injection velocity is too high or equivalently if the injection pressure is too high compared with the friction forces... 

Prior to World War II the majority of experimental work in the field of sprays concerned itself with Diesel engine injection problems. Sauter (21C) has suggested that the efficiency of atomization is determined by its fineness and uniformity. De Juhasz (2C) has determined the effect of many different variables on the process of spraying. The more important physical factors tested include the pressure drop across the orifice, the viscosity of the liquid, and the density of the air. For the many different nozzles tested, the ratio of orifice length to diameter has little effect. To determine the effect of the density of the air into which the liquid was sprayed, the nozzles were allowed to discharge into an evacuated chamber. Under these conditions good results are still obtained, suggesting little influence of air friction on jet breakup. 

Friction in the extruder produces high temperatures and pressures, and the product is forced out dies at the end of the extrusion tube. This type of extruder is referred to as a dry extruder. If steam is injected along the extrusion tube, the reactor is referred to as a wet extruder. 

For small acid gas injection schemes, the reservoir pressure and static head terms are the only ones of significance. In particular, it is assumed that the pressure drop due to friction is not important, although the design engineer is advised to review these factors in each case. Thus equation (9.1) reduces to ... 

For most of the lo w-volume, liquid- or dense-phase injection schemes, it is sufficiently accurate to neglect the effect of fluid friction on the injection pressure. However, as we move to higher injection volumes, and thus higher velocities, this is no longer a good assumption. We must now import some of the methods from chap. 6 for estimating the effect of friction on the pressure. 

Substituting this into AGIProfile (output below) and the estimated injection pressure is 9449 kPa. This compares to 9438 kPa for the calculation without including friction. So in this case the frictional effect is negligible. 

By the time the material reaches the die plate, it is under high pressure, 1379-4137 kPa (200-600 psi) and has been cooked to some desirable degree based on moisture level and temperat4ure. Oilseeds usually receive a mild cook that converts them into a tacky, elastic-like condition. The injected steam condenses from the vapor state as it is absorbed into the material and releases its heat of vaporization. This sudden release of energy helps to heat the oilseed. Frictional heat generated by the rotating shaft continues the heating.
