Abstract High-pressure water jet technology has emerged as a highly effective method for removing industrial-scale deposits from pipelines, offering a clean, efficient, and environmentally sustainable alternative to conventional mechanical or chemical cleaning techniques. Among the many parameters influencing its performance, the geometry of the nozzle plays a decisive role in governing jet coherence, impact pressure distribution, and overall cleaning efficiency. In this study, a comprehensive numerical and experimental investigation is conducted to elucidate the influence of nozzle geometry on the behavior of high-pressure water jets. Using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations based on the Volume of… More >

Abstract This work proposes an optimization method for gas storage operation parameters under multi-factor coupled constraints to improve the peak-shaving capacity of gas storage reservoirs while ensuring operational safety. Previous research primarily focused on integrating reservoir, wellbore, and surface facility constraints, often resulting in broad constraint ranges and slow model convergence. To solve this problem, the present study introduces additional constraints on maximum withdrawal rates by combining binomial deliverability equations with material balance equations for closed gas reservoirs, while considering extreme peak-shaving demands. This approach effectively narrows the constraint range. Subsequently, a collaborative optimization model with… More >

Abstract Advanced carbon emission factors of a power grid can provide users with effective carbon reduction advice, which is of immense importance in mobilizing the entire society to reduce carbon emissions. The method of calculating node carbon emission factors based on the carbon emissions flow theory requires real-time parameters of a power grid. Therefore, it cannot provide carbon factor information beforehand. To address this issue, a prediction model based on the graph attention network is proposed. The model uses a graph structure that is suitable for the topology of the power grid and designs a supervised More >

Abstract In this study, the Stokes formula is used to analyze the separation effect of three-phase separators used in a Oilfield Central Processing Facility. The considered main influencing factors include (but are not limited to) the typical size of oil and water droplets, the residence time and temperature of fluid and the dosage of demulsifier. Using the “Specification for Oil and Gas Separators” as a basis, the control loops and operating parameters of each separator are optimized Considering the Halfaya Oilfield as a testbed, it is shown that the proposed approach can lead to good results More >

Abstract Wide range of rotating machinery contains an inherent amount of unbalance which leads to increase in the vibration level and related faults. In this work, the effect of different operating conditions viz. the unbalanced weight, radius, speed and position of the rotor disc on the unbalance in rotating machine are studied experimentally and analyzed by using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). RSM is a technique which consists of mathematical and statistical methods to develop the relationship between the inputs and outputs of a system by distinct functions. L27 Orthogonal Array (OA) was developed by using Design… More >
