Sentence examples for volume of steam from inspiring English sources
The energy intensity of a thermal process of heavy oil and bitumen recovery is defined as the volume of steam, in terms of its cold water equivalent (CWE), which is needed to produce one unit volume of the mobile oil.
These results showed that the design method introduced in this article was useful and the calculation of the blocking volume of steam breakthrough channeling was beneficial for the field application.
The net amount of steam needed to facilitate the gravity drainage process was then calculated by subtracting the cumulative volume of steam needed to provide for the heat losses from the total cumulative steam injected.
The analysis of heat loss was an integrated part of calculating the net CSOR values to correct the total amount of consumed thermal energy for the volume of steam which was consumed to cover the radiation heat loss.
It indicates that injecting dissolver and carbon dioxide increase thermal efficiency and swept volume of steam, all three synergistically play the role of chemistry, gas and heat for viscosity reduction, mixing and mass transfer, and increasing energy and cleanup.
HDCS stimulation realizes the rolling replacement of viscosity reduction effect of dissolver, carbon dioxide and steam, keeping the oil in steam front with low-viscosity, and enlarging the swept volume of steam and viscosity reduction range of super heavy oil by steam injection (Li et al. 2009).
A large volume of steam-heated water surrounding the cracks might sustain opening of cracks over several months, leading to a notable slow recovery process.
Subsequently, contaminant concentrations decreased slowly with additional pore volumes of steam flushing.
Large volumes of steam are needed, however, to heat the extra-heavy oil because of its high viscosity.
Application of steam flushing after air flushing produced a significant increase in contaminant removal rate for the first 4 to 5 pore volumes of steam condensate.
