Microscopic Experiments to Assess the Macroscopic Sweep Characteristics of Carbon Dioxide Flooding by Rujun Wang, Wei Zhou, Yongliang Tang, Daiyu Zhou, Zangyuan Wu, Liming Lian

“…Results: From the microscopic point of view, carbon dioxide flooding is mainly miscible with crude oil, which has a strong component exchange effect and can be displaced in the form of full pores, and the microscopic displacement efficiency is close to 100%. Macroscopically, under the combined injection and production of different injected hydrocarbon pore volume multiples (HCPVs), it is injected at the upper and lower layers of the interlayer and produced far away from the lower layer of the interlayer, with a total recovery rate of 52.83%. …”

Design, Dynamics and Development of Upgraded Tiltable Wing associated Quadcopter through Advanced computational simulations incorporated Bottom-Up Approach by Haribalan Saravana Mohan, Karthikeyan Murugaraj, Senthil Kumar Solaiappan, Beena Stanislaus Arputharaj, Parvathy Rajendran, It Ee Lee, Shyam Sundar Jayakumar, Janani Priyadharshini Veeraperumal Senthil Nathan, Arunkumar Karuppasamy, Vijayanandh Raja

“…Interpreting from the performed analyses, the proposed configuration seems to operate at less power considering the lift forces induced, which also enables it to reach better altitudes at less RPM. The structural efficiency happens to be achieved due to the reduction in the RPM as there is a contribution in lift production as the angle of attack of the proposed wing increases, which also decreases rotors’ burden during forward motion and other maneuverings.…”
