气藏型储气库温度敏感性及其对气井注采能力的影响

气藏型储气库交替注采工况下的储层温度变化是影响渗透率乃至储气库注采能力的关键因素。为探究砂岩储层渗透率的温度敏感性规律及其对气井注采能力的影响,在储气库运行的温度范围内设计了多轮次交变温度下渗透率温度敏感性实验,模拟气藏型储气库储层温度的周期性变化。实验结果表明：(1)储层渗透率随温度升高而减小,随温度降低而增大,且多轮次交变温度下渗透率表现出滞后效应,随升降温轮次增加滞后效应逐渐减弱;(2)储层渗透率温度敏感性规律不同于应力敏感,渗透率与温度呈线性相关,且单轮升降温过程中滞后效应强弱不随温度改变;(3)基于实验结果建立了考虑渗透率温度敏感性的气井产能方程,研究发现忽略储层渗透率温度敏感性将低估气井注采能力,且储层埋藏越深、气井注采气量越大时,温度敏感性对注采能力的影响越大。     

Massive MIMO Systems for 5G Communications

Massive MIMO will improve the performance of future 5G systems in terms of data rate and spectral efficiency, while accommodating a large number of users. Furthermore, it allows for 3D beamforming in order to provide more degrees of freedom and increase the number of high-throughput users. Massive MIMO is expected to provide more advantages compared to other solutions in terms of energy and spectral efficiency. This will be achieved by focusing the radiation towards the direction of the intended users, thus implementing simultaneous transmission to many users while keeping interference low. It can boost the capacity compared to a conventional antenna solution, resulting in a spectral efficiency up to 50 times greater than that provided by actual 4G technology. However, to take full advantage of this technology and to overcome the challenges of implementation in a real environment, a complicated radio system is required. The purpose of this work is to present the MIMO technology evolution and challenges in a simple introductory way and investigate potential system enhancements.

     

Overmolded polylactide/jute-mat eco-composites: A new method to enhance the properties of natural fiber biodegradable composites

Environmentally friendly, biodegradable composites were prepared via overmolding of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) onto PLA/jute-mat, named as “ecosheets,” reinforced continuous fiber composite sheets. Film stacking procedure was used to prepare ecosheets via using a hot-press. The fiber orientation was changed as −45°/+45° and 0°/0°. −45°/+45° orientation exhibited higher properties as compared to 0°/0° for ecosheets; therefore, this construction was used to produce overmolded composites (OMCs). The mechanical tests showed that flexural modulus and strength of OMCs were improved in comparison to neat PLA. The dynamic mechanical analysis exhibited that the thermomechanical resistance of PLA was enhanced for OMCs. Scanning electron microscopy investigation showed that the jute/PLA interphase needs to be improved to further increase the properties. It was concluded that one of the biggest advantages of this novel technique was the increase of mechanical properties of PLA without altering the density. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl.

Structural effects of type of intercalant in poly (4‐vinylpyridine) nanocomposites: compatible homopolymer or block copolymer

4‐vinylpyridine monomer was mixed with organophilic montmorillonite (MMT) clay and polymerized in the presence of free‐radical initiator. MMT clay was rendered organophilic by means of ion‐exchanging sodium cations for low‐molecular‐weight quaternized poly(4‐vinylpyridine) (P4VP) homopolymer and diblock copolymers of styrene and quaternized 4‐vinylpyridine (SVP) with different sequence lengths. The swelling behaviour of the MMT clay was studied by X‐ray diffraction (XRD). After the cation exchange, the resulting organophilic clays showed an expansion of interlayer distance indicating the nanoscale ordering of intercalant polymer and MMT layers. The nanocomposite materials, when moulded, exhibited improved thermal stability and dynamic mechanical properties compared with neat P4VP. The composite, having longer ionic segments in its organophilic MMT, showed exfoliated nanocomposite structure as well as higher stiffness and damping properties at higher temperatures even for MMT loading as low as 2 wt%.

Social Comparison,Goal Contagion,and Adoption of Innovative Information Technology

When adopting a new, innovative information technology (IT), most institutions tend to lack knowledge about it initially. However, they often adopt new ITs despite their illiteracy. This behavior is difficult to explain using rational IT adoption theories. Focusing on the organizational decision-making process behind adoption of innovative IT, we examine the strategy by which some companies compensate for their lack of knowledge: collection of information from other companies that have successfully adopted IT previously. We develop a new IT adoption model for which goal contagion theory and social comparison theory are combined to interpret the circumstances under which organizations tend to adopt new, innovative IT despite limited knowledge about it. Big data, cloud services, and smart mobile systems are considered as examples of innovative IT in the empirical study.     

Modeling of ferrofluid magnetic actuation with dynamic magnetic fields in small channels

One of the most important and promising research areas in biomedical and micropumping applications is magnetic actuation of ferrofluids with dynamic magnetic fields. For ensuring the use of ferrofluids in various applications in engineering fields, their flows generated by magnetic fields should be extensively investigated and simulated. In this study, simulations of ferrofluid actuation with dynamic magnetic fields were performed by modeling it using the COMSOL Multiphysics software, and iron oxide nanoparticle-based ferrofluids at different angles of rotating magnets were considered to provide insight into ferrofluid flow in small channels. Ferrofluid flows were modeled at different magnetic flux densities provided by rotating magnets, and velocity profiles inside the channel were analyzed. It was shown that ferrofluid actuation can be considered as a futuristic micropumping alternative, simulation results matched well with the experimental results of previous work, and the established model could serve as a tool to analyze ferrofluid flows generated by dynamic magnetic fields. The results of the model show that flow rates up to 100 µl/s can be reached at a rotation angle of 30° by using dynamic magnetic fields. Various applications including biomedical applications might be envisaged.
