Empirical correlations for estimating filtrate volume of water based drilling fluids
Ozbayoglu, Evren; Gunes, Cagri; Apak, Esat C.; Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Iscan, A. Gurkan (Informa UK Limited, 2005-03-01)
Standard American Petroleum Institute (API) filter press is generally used for identifying the filtrate volume of drilling fluids and works only at very low pressures. In fact, during a drilling operation, at downhole conditions, the pressures encountered are significantly higher than what is used during standard API filter press tests. A relationship between the well-known fluid properties and the filtrate volume test is developed. In this study, experiments have been conducted for different water-clay mix...
Empirical Comparison of Random and Periodic Surface Light-Trapping Structures for Ultrathin Silicon Photovoltaics
BRANHAM, Matthew; HSU, WeiCsun; Yerci, Selçuk; LOOMİS, James; BORİSKİNA, Svetlana; HOARD, Brittany; HAN, Sang Eon; EBONG, Abasifreke; CHEN, Gang (2016-06-01)
Pyramidal light-trapping structures of a range of length scales — and both periodic and random arrangements — are shown to yield similarly high absorption in thin film crystalline silicon photovoltaics. Through the combination of results from experiment and simulation, the trade-off between absorption effectiveness and ease of fabrication of various pyramidal light-trapping structures is investigated for application in thin-film crystalline silicon solar cells.
Empirical prediction equations for peak ground velocity derived from strong-motion records from Europe and the Middle East
Akkar, Dede Sinan; Bommer, Julian J. (2007-04-01)
Peak ground velocity (PGV) has many applications in earthquake engineering, but there are relatively few prediction equations for this parameter in comparison with the large numbers of equations for estimating peak ground acceleration and response spectral ordinates. This lack of empirical equations for PGV has led to widespread use of the practice of scaling peak velocity from the 5%-damped response spectral ordinate at I sec, which is a poor substitute for direct prediction of the parameter. Responding to...
Empirical correlations for the prediction of cake dewatering characteristics
HOSTEN, C.; SASTRY, KVS (Elsevier BV, 1989-1)
The irreducible equilibrium saturation and dewatering kinetics of vacuum-dewatered filter cakes are studied. Limitations of available empirical correlations for cake dewatering characteristics are presented. The mechanisms of air displacement dewatering are delineated as no-air-flow and air-flow dewatering regimes, and new nondimensional groups combining the pertinent parameters in each regime are proposed for correlating the equilibrium saturation. On the basis of the capillary flow dynamics, a nondimensio...
Empirical feasibility analysis of thermoelectric energy harvesting in thermally limited compact mobile computers
Khan, M. A. A.; Muhtaroglu, A. (AIP Publishing, 2014-01-01)
Thermoelectric (TE) generation technology was experimentally established in previous research by our group as a viable technique for energy scavenging in a large notebook computer with no significant impact to system performance. The computer under investigation was designed to have additional thermal headroom, with Central Processing Unit (CPU) temperature significantly below its maximum limit under maximum workload conditions. Yet the question remained on if and how such scavenging could be done in small,...
