Abstract This study investigated the micro-sliding frictional behavior of shale in fracturing fluids under varying operational conditions using Chang 7 shale oil reservoir core samples. Through systematic micro-sliding friction experiments, the characteristics and governing mechanisms of shale friction were elucidated. Complementary analyses were conducted to characterize the mineral composition, petrophysical properties, and micromorphology of the shale samples, providing insights into the relationship between microscopic structure and frictional response. In this paper, the characteristics and variation law of shale micro-sliding friction under different types of graphite materials as additives in LGF-80 (Low-damage Guar Fluid) oil flooding recoverable… More >

Abstract With the large-scale promotion of distributed photovoltaics, new challenges have emerged in the photovoltaic consumption within distribution networks. Traditional photovoltaic consumption schemes have primarily focused on static analysis. However, as the scale of photovoltaic power generation devices grows and the methods of integration diversify, a single consumption scheme is no longer sufficient to meet the actual needs of current distribution networks. Therefore, this paper proposes an optimal evaluation method for photovoltaic consumption schemes based on BASS model predictions of installed capacity, aiming to provide an effective tool for generating and evaluating photovoltaic consumption schemes in… More >

Abstract The current work includes a numerical investigation of the effect of biodiesel blends with different aluminum oxide nanoparticle concentrations on the combustion process in the cylinder of a diesel engine. IC Engine Fluent, a specialist computational tool in the ANSYS software, was used to simulate internal combustion engine dynamics and combustion processes. Numerical analysis was carried out using biodiesel blends with three Al₂O₃ nanoparticles in 50, 100, and 150 ppm concentrations. The tested samples are called D100, B20, B20A50, B20A100, and B20A150 accordingly. The modeling runs were carried out at various engine loads of 0, 100,… More >
