The Significance Of Permeability And Wettability Contrasts On Near Wellbore Flow Patterns Creating Formation Damage Effects
( Qatar University , 1999 , Article)The majority of hydrocarbon reservoirs are heterogeneous and any geological model that is unable to represent these heterogeneities will not capture the correct displacement physics. In particular, difficulties are encountered ... -
Simplified Method For Plate Deflection Calculation
( Qatar University , 1997 , Article)This paper presents a simplified method for the calculation of thin-plate deflections. The method, which deals with uniformly loaded plates, uses the stiffness method to obtain plate deflection equations for specified ... -
Simulation of Cross-Current Extraction Processes
( Qatar University , 1988 , Article)Extraction processes dealing with partially miscible solvents are usually calculated by graphical methods to estimate the number of stages required, flow rates and compositions of the streams. Such procedures may be lengthy. ... -
Simulation Of Three-Phase Distillation Column Using Bubble Point And Φ-Φ Approach
( Qatar University , 1995 , Article)Most of organic compounds are partially miscible in water and due to their solubility criteria split into two liquid phases. So design of equipments that separate two liquid phase systems differ from one liquid phase system ... -
Software For On-Line Monitoring Of E10-B Telephone Exchange
