“…The collagen selectively absorbs the oil by motion of the nanoparticles towards the oil in a magnetic field [12]. Magnetic nanoparticles are also of interest in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) since they can be dispersed in fluid and manipulated and monitored by an external magnetic field [13–14]. In both oil detection and EOR, agglomeration of nanoparticles can prevent flow through porous media.…”

SummaryNano-object additives are used in tribological applications as well as in various applications in liquids requiring controlled manipulation and targeting. On the macroscale, nanoparticles in solids and liquids have been shown to reduce friction and wear. On the nanoscale, atomic force microscopy (AFM) studies have been performed in single- and multiple-nanoparticle contact, in dry environments, to characterize friction forces and wear. However, limited studies in submerged liquid environments have been performed and further studies are needed. In this paper, spherical Au nanoparticles were studied for their effect on friction and wear under dry conditions and submerged in water. In single-nanoparticle contact, individual nanoparticles, deposited on silicon, were manipulated with a sharp tip and the friction force was determined. Multiple-nanoparticle contact sliding experiments were performed on nanoparticle-coated silicon with a glass sphere. Wear tests were performed on the nanoscale with AFM as well as on the macroscale by using a ball-on-flat tribometer to relate friction and wear reduction on the nanoscale and macroscale. Results indicate that the addition of Au nanoparticles reduces friction and wear.

“…The electromagnetic (EM) assisted enhanced oil recovery (EOR) method has gained significant attention for the recovery of residual oil [1]. The transfer of EM energy to reservoir materials depends on the molecular composition, such as the dipolar and magnetic molecules having free or bound charges like electrons or ions [2][3][4]. Therefore, EM waves behave differently at different interfaces within the reservoir [5,6].…”

Determination of Optimum Frequency for Electromagnetic-Assisted Nanofluid Core Flooding

et al. 2019

The coupling of electromagnetic (EM) wave to nanoflooding experiments, termed EM-assisted nanoflooding has gained enormous attention in recent years. This brings about the consideration of transmitter efficiency and the propagation pattern of the ensuing EM wave, both of which depend on reservoir electromagnetic properties. However, this has not been considered in previous works, despite its potential to improve the efficiency of the process through energy maximization. Hence, this study considers the effects of reservoir EM properties on the operation of a transmitter. The EM properties of saturated reservoir rock samples were measured. Afterward, a half-wave dipole antenna was modeled in a cylindrical reservoir based on the measured EM properties. The EM propagation pattern of the antenna was simulated in a frequency range of 100 MHz—2.0 GHz using the finite element method. The antenna was found to display dual resonance (at 800 MHz and 1.3 GHz) for sandstone saturated with oil, brine and nanofluid. Application of the EM wave at resonance frequency can help increase the efficiency of EM-assisted nanoflooding.

Numerical Study of the Magnetic Field Effect on Ferromagnetic Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer in a Square Porous Cavity

A numerical study of ferromagnetic-fluid flow and heat transfer in a square porous cavity under the effect of a magnetic field is presented. The water-magnetic particle suspension is treated as a miscible mixture and, thus, the magnetization, density and viscosity of the ferrofluid are obtained. The governing partial-differential equations were solved numerically using the cell-centered finite-difference method for the spatial discretization, while the multiscale time-splitting implicit method was developed to treat the temporal discretization. The Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy stability condition (CFL < 1) was used to make the scheme adaptive by dividing time steps as needed. Two cases corresponding to Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions were considered. The efficiency of the developed algorithm as well as some physical results such as temperature, concentration, and pressure; and the local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers at the cavity walls are presented and discussed. It was noticed that the particle concentration and local heat/mass transfer rate are related to the magnetic field strength, and both pressure and velocity increase as the strength of the magnetic was increased.Energies 2018, 11, 3235 2 of 21 Flows in cavities have many technological applications, such as heat exchangers, cooling systems for electronic equipment, and environmental flows. Sheremet and Pop [11] investigated the steady laminar mixed convection inside a lid-driven square cavity filled with a water-based nanofluid. Chalambaz et al. [12] studied the heat and mass transfer in a square porous cavity with differential temperature and concentration at the sidewalls, and they found that the heat transfer of the mixture and the mass transfer of the other phase can be maximized for specific values of the Lewis number of one phase. Carvalho and de Lemos [13] presented the problem of laminar free convection within a square porous cavity filled with a saturated fluid. Javed et al. [14] presented a numerical study for free convection through a square enclosure filled with a ferrofluid-saturated porous medium under a uniform magnetic field.Numerical simulation is an important tool enabling engineers and scientists to predict the transport phenomena, test, and optimize an appropriate intervention strategy for heat transfer [15]. The time-stepping method has been presented for the problems of fluid dynamics by using implicit-type time-marching procedures to resolve transients [16]. Martinez [17] solved the shallow water equations by using the time-splitting technique. The time viscosity-splitting method was used for the Boussinesq problem by Zhang and Qian [18]. A time-splitting Fourier spectral method has been developed for approximating singular solutions of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation [19]. used a multiscale time-splitting strategy to manage different time-step sizes for different physics. In this research, a multiscale adaptive time-splitting scheme is introduced to simulate the problem of magnetic-field effects on ferrofluids and heat transf...
