Abstract:The separation dynamics of a multiphase fluid mixture is studied with the aim to validate the gas reduction from the mixture by means of a KMS helical static mixer device through a laboratory prototype based on the jet-pump artificial lift system for oil extraction. The study is focused on the cyclone phenomenon, produced by the KMS, to experimentally verify the reduction of foaming in a reservoir behaving as a horizontal gravity separator of an oil–gas–water mixture under specific dynamics conditions of veloc… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
