Numerical investigation of conjugate heat transfer and temperature-dependent viscosity in non-Brownian suspensions with application to hydraulic fracturing
Abstract:Particle suspensions are relevant in a number of scientific and engineering fields, where they can occur at a wide range of scales. Examples of these include blood flow, flood debris, crystal formation, mineral processing plants and pharmaceutical production. One particular application occurs within the hydraulic fracturing process used in the oil and gas industry. Here, a fracturing fluid with a solid proppant component (typically sand) is pumped into a reservoir to increase low permeability. The fluid pressu… Show more
