A geothermal heatpipe prototype

Heatpipes are promising devices for geothermal energy extraction owing to their<br/>effectiveness to transport heat. The goal of this research is to validate an analytical heatpipe model with experiments and to investigate the difficulties in designing and constructing geothermal heatpipes. There is a lack of literature and research concerning...

Numerical Modelling of Salt Precipitation During Gas Production

The decline in productivity in mature gas fields is often attributed to liquid loading but in reality it may be a result of salt deposition which can have similar consequences. The phenomenon of salt precipitation is gradually increasing and is becoming a serious issue in the North Sea. The North Sea operators are aware of the serious...
