针对稠油水环输送的水环流动改进问题,提出稠油流动边界层在聚丙烯酰胺（PAM）水环作用下的模拟实验方法,基于自主研发设计的室内油-水两相流可视化环道实验装置,采用500#白油模拟旅大稠油,实验研究了稠油-水环状流外环水相中添加PAM前后的流型特征与阻力特性,评价了PAM对水环润滑的协同减阻效果,分析了PAM对水环流动稳定性的作用机理。实验结果表明：PAM对稠油-水环状流的流型特征与阻力特性均有显著影响,使环状流的分布区域缩小,其缩减区域转变为分层流和塞状流,当其为分层流时减阻作用丧失;当油相表观流速为0.23～0.90m/s时,PAM减阻率随含水率增加先迅速增大后缓慢减小,在测试范围内最高达35%。研究结果可为稠油水环输送工艺优化提供理论指导和技术支持,也可为稠油管输流动改进提供新理念与新方法。

A Comprehensive Comparison on Foam Behavior in the Presence of Light Oil and Heavy Oil

Crude oil properties significantly affect foam behavior that is important to foam application in enhanced oil recovery. This study focused on the comparison on foam behavior in the presence of light oil and heavy oil. Foamability and foam stability, the bubble size, and the film thickness as well as the configuration of oil drops were fully investigated. Final results indicated that both the heavy oil and light oil increased the foamability of sodium dodecyl sulfate but decreased that of the amphoteric surfactant imidazoline. The positive effect of both light oil and heavy oil on foam stability was reconfirmed. However, heavy oil was more favorable to foam stability. The light oil may shorten the foam half‐life but prolong the foam drainage half‐life. The heavy oil was more effective in reducing the foam size and increasing the foam uniformity compared with light oil. According to the micrograph of foam, light oil was emulsified into quite small oil droplets, filling the plateau borders and lamellas. The heavy oil, in the form of far larger oil droplets, was mainly distributed in plateau borders only. The larger oil droplets resulted in the more stable foam, which was verified. Moreover, light oil (oil B) performed well in thickening the foam film, as did the heavy oil (oil A). But for the lightest oil (oil C), a thinning effect on the film was detected.     

Drag reduction phenomenon in viscous oil‐water dispersed pipe flow: Experimental investigation and phenomenological modeling

An experimental study on drag‐reduction phenomenon in dispersed oil‐water flow has been performed in a 26‐mm‐i.d. Twelve meter long horizontal glass pipe. The flow was characterized using a novel wire‐mesh sensor based on capacitance measurements and high‐speed video recording. New two‐phase pressure gradient, volume fraction, and phase distribution data have been used in the analysis. Drag reduction and slip ratio were detected at oil volume fractions between 10 and 45% and high mixture Reynolds numbers, and with water as the dominant phase. Phase‐fraction distribution diagrams and cross‐sectional imaging of the flow suggested the presence of a higher amount of water near to the pipe wall. Based on that, a phenomenology for explaining drag reduction in dispersed flow in a flow situation where slip ratio is significant is proposed. A simple phenomenological model is developed and the agreement between model predictions and data, including data from the literature, is encouraging. © 2011 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 2012     

乳化/润湿耦合作用稠油流动减阻新思路

稠油节能增输是解决常规原油日渐枯竭、保障原油接替的紧迫需求,然而稠油黏度高、流道黏附性强,使其输送异常困难,是稠油节能增效输送技术瓶颈。根据前期研究本文作者发现,活性水作用下稠油乳化降黏的同时可改变稠油与管内壁界面特性,以及稠油提高采收率——润湿性之润湿反转,提出管输稠油乳化降黏及其流固界面润湿耦合作用流动减阻新思路。本文基于国内外相关研究成果的系统分析,探讨稠油乳化降黏、流固界面润湿及耦合减阻的有效性,剖析活性水作用乳化/润湿耦合减阻存在的主要问题,理论分析稠油在管输过程中实现乳化/润湿耦合减阻的可行性。结果表明,乳化/润湿减阻思路在理论上是可行的,而且在表面活性剂作用下乳化降黏的同时管输流固界面润湿反转更容易实施,然而,乳化/润湿减阻实际应用缺乏充分认识尚需深入研究其相关科学问题;其深入研究有望理解与认识流固界面特性对流动阻力的影响作用,可解决管输稠油流动阻力之难题,将为稠油流动改进提供理论与技术支撑,在稠油管输节能增效方面具有广阔的应用前景。     

聚硅氧烷消泡剂的失活和再生机理

介绍了聚硅氧烷消泡剂失活和再生的现象,分析了失活过程中消泡剂分散体粒径大小和分布,泡沫体系的表面张力、接触角、硅油铺展层的厚度以及泡沫膜的结构和状态,结果表明：硅油组成的改变、硅油和疏水二氧化硅微粒的分离、消泡剂分散体粒径的变小、铺展油层的消失和白色絮凝物的出现导致消泡剂失活,其中二氧化硅硅粒-硅油的分离和泡沫膜上硅油铺展油层的消失是主要因素。失活的消泡剂中加入硅油,消泡活性可再次恢复,这主要是由于消泡剂分散体粒子中的硅油-二氧化硅硅粒比例达到最佳的状态并在泡沫膜上又形成了新的具有消泡活性的硅油铺展油层。     

Drag reduction in cocurrent horizontal natural gas-hexane pipe flow

Drag reduction in two-phase cocurrent horizontal natural gas-hexane pipe flow was studied experimentally. The effects of pipe diameter, gas flow rate, liquid flow rate, and additive concentration were investigated using the Dowell APE drag reducer. In the annular-mist flow regime studied, it was found that drag reduction increased with decreasing gas rate for a given liquid rate, drag reduction decreased with increasing friction velocity and it decreased with decreasing gas-liquid ratio for a given friction velocity. Although the drag reduction decreased rapidly as the liquid-gas ratio approached zero, drag reductions as high as 34 percent were obtained. Attempts to predict two-phase drag reduction were unsuccessful as it was found to depend upon friction velocity, liquid and gas rates, liquid-gas rate ratio, pipe diameter and additive concentration.     

消泡剂气/液界面膜的性质对其消泡性能的影响

参照消泡试验标准ASTM E2407,评价了硅油类、聚醚酯类及聚醚改性聚硅氧烷类3种消泡剂的消/抑泡性能,并采用LB膜天平,测试了消泡剂对模拟起泡体系扩张模量、扩张弹性和扩张黏度的影响。结果表明,消泡剂分子吸附在气/液界面上,降低了界面膜的弹性,减小了界面膜的强度,使得界面膜厚度变薄,泡沫寿命缩短,从而达到破泡效果;消泡剂存在下的界面膜强度在一定时间内不足以形成稳定的泡沫,从而达到抑泡效果。同种消泡剂,在一定质量分数范围内,随质量分数增加,界面膜扩张模量、扩张弹性均降低,消泡剂消/抑泡性能变好;超过某一质量分数时,界面膜扩张模量、扩张弹性基本保持不变,消/抑泡性能也不再增强。不同种消泡剂,界面膜扩张模量及扩张弹性降低幅度越大,消/抑泡性能越好。因此,扩张模量和扩张弹性可以很好地解释消泡剂的消/抑泡效果。
