Comparison Between Cold/Hot Smart Water Flooding in Sandstone Reservoirs - Juniper Publishers

Image
Juniper Publishers - Open Access Journal of Engineering Technology Abstract The incremental oil recovery has been investigated and approved by many laboratory and field projects using water flooding in tertiary stage. The salinity of the injected water is an important factor observed by many researchers. The more salinity decreases the more oil recovery obtained. The investigations on the hot low salinity water flooding have been conducted by many researchers and they found out that it is useful for increasing oil recovery especially heavy oil due to reducing oil viscosity and make it easy to produce to the surface. The thermal expansion of water plays an important role in the incremental oil recovery mechanism, reducing the density of the injected water relative to the aquifer water. This reduces mixing, minimizing thermal loses to the aquifer. Hot water flooding may also increase the economic life of individual wells by as much as a factor of two. Smart wate...

Analyzing Distances Based on Pixels using MATLAB: An Image Analysis Study - Juniper Publishers

Image
Juniper Publishers - Open Access Journal of Engineering Technology Abstract The present research paper is addressed to the distance between major US airports using image analysis to give the user an accurate distance and estimated flight time for all major US airports. The system inputs needed are an average distance between the different US airports as well as the average flight speed. This research is to utilize pixels from an image to create a coordinate system, which allows us to calculate distances. Conversion factors will also be included in our system inputs. The user inputs for our program will be your starting location and the destination you are looking to travel to. The governing equations for our code are the system input coordinates on our image mapping and converting the distance between the coordinates to an actual distance in miles. These coordinates and the use of the equation of a line to get an accurate distance between airports in miles. Mu...

A New Method to Solve Transportation Problem - Harmonic Mean Approach - Juniper Publishers

Image
Juniper Publishers - Open Access Journal of Engineering Technology Abstract Transportation Problem is one of the models in the Linear Programming problem. The objective of this paper is to transport the item from the origin to the destination such that the transport cost should be minimized, and we should minimize the time of transportation. To achieve this, a new approach using harmonic mean is proposed in this model. Keywords: Transportation; Harmonic mean;Optimum solution Introduction Transportation problem was first studied by F.L. Hithcock[1]. In transportation problem, different sourcessupply to different destinations of demand in such a way that the transportation cost should be minimized. We can obtain basic feasible solution by three methods. They are North West Corner method Least Cost method Vogel’s Approximation method (VAM) In these three methods, VAM method is best according to the lit...

Total Costs in The Brazilian Efficiency Model of Distribution System Operators: An Analysis - Juniper Publishers

Image
Juniper Publishers - Open Access Journal of Engineering Technology Abstract This study analyses the efficiency of electricity distributors in Brazil by considering total costs. The impact of the inclusion of total costs is evaluated with four different efficiency models using Data Envelopment Analysis and Stochastic Frontier Analysis. The analyses are conducted using a sample of 60 companies over two periods of time. The years 2008 to 2010 are used to calculate the efficiency frontier, and the years 2011 to 2012 are used to validate the methodology. The results show that, on average, the total costs estimated by benchmarking methods are approximately 7% lower than those observed in 2011 and 2012, that is, utilities need to reduce their total annual costs by approximately R$40 million on average.

Design and Comparison of Terahertz Graphene Antenna: Ordinary dipole, Fractal dipole, Spiral, Bow-tie and Log-periodic - Juniper Publishers

Image
Juniper Publishers - Open Access Journal of Engineering Technology Abstract This paper investigated several configurations of terahertz graphene antenna. Five structures: Ordinary dipole, Fractal dipole, Spiral, Bow-tie and Log-periodic antenna have been investigated and graphene is the main substance while a thin layer of SiO2 as a bed was used. The fractal dipole and round spiral antenna in the terahertz band and comparison of these structures for the first time has been considered. Designed antenna are credited, exploiting proper full-wave numerical simulations while using time domain simulations. According to simulation results, designed round spiral and log-periodic antennas show adaptive behavior on wide range of frequencies and confirms wideband operation. Also, antenna is compared regarding on board sizes and the absorption cross section. The radiation efficiency is above 85% for all antennas. The results of this study can offer design insight and giv...
