An Efficient Computational Scheme for Two-Phase Steam Condensation in the Presence of CO2 for Wellbore and Long-Distance Flow
Here we present an efficient and robust calculation scheme for two-phase, one-dimensional (1D) steady state steam condensation in the presence of CO2, based on conservation rules and thermodynamic phase relations. The mixing of fluids and phases is assumed to be homogeneous. Heat transfer is conside...

| description | Here we present an efficient and robust calculation scheme for two-phase, one-dimensional (1D) steady state steam condensation in the presence of CO2, based on conservation rules and thermodynamic phase relations. The mixing of fluids and phases is assumed to be homogeneous. Heat transfer is considered between the fluids and the ambient formations. For convenience, state equations are presented in terms of the entropy changes of individual phases, and the simple additive rule for the mixture. To monitor phase changes, the phase rule is checked. This investigation has practical significance for steam injection operation and long-distance pipe flow applications in the geothermal and mid- and up-stream oil and gas industries. |
