Abstract:Molecular diffusion is the process describing the natural mixture of miscible fluids, whose main modeling parameter is the molecular diffusion coefficient. This work aims to evaluate the molecular diffusion coefficient for CO 2 -light oil systems under different experimental conditions of pressure. Experimental measurements are based on both pressure decay and computed tomography (CT) scan methods. The oil studied is light oil from Brazilian subsalt oil reservoirs. Tests were carried on a specially constructed… 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.
