This paper investigates the stress and strain state as well as formation processes of structure and features of aluminum alloys during the hot extrusion. It has been shown that during the hot extrusion the ring layers of an extruded element experience not only longitudinal and transverse deformations, but also a slip. The slip increases from inner layers to the surface layer. The tensile principal stresses and the sum of slip deformations also increase. It has been also demonstrated that at the exit of the pressing part the tensile principal stresses have different directions, forming an angle with extruder axis, which also increases towards the surface. In conclusion, it has been stated that the main radial and circumferential deformations act as restraining deformations.

The presented contribution points out the possibilities of solving the inlet system, as one of the important factors influencing the final quality of the castings. Due to its design and function, the sprue system influences the process of filling the mold cavity. With the correct design of the sprue system, we achieve the continuity of filling the mold cavity and the elimination of qualitative and quantitative errors caused by non-observance of basic principles in the design of sprue systems. When conducting the experiments, we monitored the mold inlet system, modeling the process of filling the mold cavity and the speed of the liquid metal in the notch and the mold cavity. The results of the experiments show that the speed of the liquid metal when filling the mold is approximately half of the calculated theoretical value.

Considering the substantial prevalence of gas fields in the pool of developed fields, their development requires specialized approaches with the primary objective of optimizing the production process. The effectiveness of gas field development hinges on achieving the highest possible gas recovery factor. Achieving a high limit of the ultimate return of gas fields relies on decisions that vary depending on the precision of design estimates carried out at different stages of development and their timely execution. The accuracy of such estimates is, if possible, directly contingent on the thorough consideration of geological, technical, and technological factors when formulating methods for determining field development and operation indicators. Given the above considerations, this article proposes a methodology for determining the technological indicators of gas reservoir development, which enables to anticipate changes in reservoir pressure, temperature, and porosity of the gas reservoir, while accounting for the gas-dynamic interplay within the “reservoir-well” system in the depletion phase. The developed approach makes it possible to reliably ascertain reservoir development metrics by factoring in well conditions, temperature distribution within the reservoir, and reservoir deformation. In addition, it facilitates the necessary assessment for determining optimal well operations in light of reservoir conditions.

Biorąc pod uwagę duży udział złóż gazu w eksploatowanych zasobach węglowodorów, ich zagospodarowanie wymaga zastosowania specjalistycznego podejścia, który ma przede wszystkim umożliwić jak najefektywniejsze przeprowadzenie tego procesu. Efektywna realizacja procesu udostępnienia złóż gazu polega przede wszystkim na osiągnięciu maksymalnego współczynnika wydobycia gazu. Podejmowanie decyzji w zależności od stopnia dokładności szacunków projektowych przeprowadzanych na dowolnym etapie zagospodarowania złoża i ich terminowe wdrażanie umożliwia osiągnięcie wysokich wartości wydobycia gazu. Z kolei zapewnienie dokładności takich szacunków, o ile jest to możliwe, zależy bezpośrednio od tego, czy przy tworzeniu odpowiednich metod określania wskaźników zagospodarowania i eksploatacji złoża uwzględnione zostaną w pełni czynniki geologiczne i techniczno-technologiczne. Biorąc pod uwagę powyższe, w artykule zaproponowano metodę określania technologicznych wskaźników zagospodarowania złóż gazu, która pozwala przewidywać zmiany ciśnienia złożowego, temperatury i porowatości w obrębie złoża gazu, biorąc pod uwagę zależność gazowo-dynamiczną układu „złoże-odwiert” w trybie sczerpywania. Opracowana technika umożliwia wiarygodne określenie wskaźników zagospodarowania złoża, z uwzględnieniem warunków panujących w odwiertach, rozkładu temperatury w złożu i deformacji złoża. Ponadto możliwe jest przeprowadzenie niezbędnej oceny w celu określenia optymalnych reżimów eksploatacji odwiertów, biorąc pod uwagę warunki panujące w złożu.

Due to the wide variety of drilling and cementing conditions, different grades of cements for different conditions need to be produced by factories. Nowadays, with the development of test methods and techniques, additional materials and substances, the trend has been to focus on some basic cement (base), which, with various additional substances or materials, can be modified according to the conditions of use. According to the technology adopted in Schlumberger, two portions of cement slurry are mainly used for the entire length of the annulus “lead” and “tail” i.e. literally the “leader” (the first portion) and the “tail’ (the second, last portion). Of course, the treatment of these portions with chemical reagents is different, and the first portion is several times larger in volume than the second portion. It is known that as a result of unsuccessful cementing, a gas-water-oil show may appear, leading to the removal of casing strings, fire, etc. As a result, this leads to the abandonment of the well. There is a time difference between the mixing of the first and subsequent portions of dry cement, especially the last ones, since while the subsequent portions of dry cement are just being mixed, the freshest ones have not yet been mixed at all, but the first portions are already finished; this portion of cement slurry in the well gradually begins to thicken under the influence of temperature and pressure. An effective reagent is needed. The optimal composition of the combined reagent should be considered as follows: CMC – 0.2%; FLS – 0.4%; Na2CO3 – 0.05%.

Ze względu na dużą różnorodność warunków wiercenia i cementowania, wcześniej w zakładach produkcyjnych starano się wytwarzać różne gatunki cementów, dostosowane do różnych warunków wiercenia. Obecnie, wraz z rozwojem metod i technik badawczych, jak również dodatkowych materiałów i substancji, trendem jest skoncentrowanie się na pewnym podstawowym cemencie (bazie), który za pomocą różnych dodatkowych substancji lub materiałów można modyfikować w zależności od warunków użytkowania. Zgodnie z technologią przyjętą w firmie Schlumberger stosuje się głównie dwie porcje zaczynu cementowego na całej długości przestrzeni pierścieniowej „prowadzącą” i „kończącą”, czyli dosłownie „lead” – pierwsza porcja i „tail” – druga, ostatnia porcja. Oczywiście obróbka tych porcji odczynnikami chemicznymi jest inna, a pierwsza porcja ma kilkakrotnie większą objętość niż druga. Wiadomo, że w wyniku nieudanego cementowania może dojść do wycieku gazowo-wodno-ropnego, prowadzącego do usunięcia kolumny rur okładzinowych, pożaru itp., co w efekcie prowadzi do likwidacji odwiertu. Istnieje różnica czasu między mieszaniem pierwszej i kolejnych porcji suchego cementu, zwłaszcza tych ostatnich, podczas gdy kolejne porcje suchego cementu są mieszane, ostatnie nie są jeszcze w ogóle wymieszane, a pierwsze porcje są już przygotowane; zaczyn znajdujący się w otworze zaczyna stopniowo gęstnieć pod wpływem temperatury i ciśnienia. Potrzebny jest więc skuteczny odczynnik. Optymalny skład połączonego odczynnika należy rozważyć w następujący sposób: CMC – 0,2%; FLS – 0,4%; Na2CO3 – 0,05%.

The paper discusses the mathematical model of hydromechanics of multiphase flows with varying mass. A multiphase flow is considered a continuum consisting of a set of a large number of different groups of particles. The derivation of motion equations and similarity criteria are given taking into account both the externally attached (or detached) mass and phase transitions within the medium. The equations of mass, momentum and energy transfer for individual phases and the medium as a whole are derived based on fundamental conservation laws. It was demonstrated that in the absence of sources (or flow-offs) of mass, momentum and energy, the known equations of single- and multi-phase flow hydromechanics follow as a special case from the obtained systems of motion equations and similarity criteria. The obtained motion equations are valid for the description of an ingredient of mixture and the medium as a whole, regardless of their physical and mechanical properties. Thermodynamic and rheological state equations, as well as expressions for heat flow, interfacial mass forces phase transitions, and heat exchange between phases can be used to close them. The implemented models make it possible to simulate both the stationary distribution of parameters along the wellbore during production and non-stationary processes that occur, for example, when the pump shaft speed changes during oil production. The developed approaches were implemented in the DataFlow software tool for analysis of the hydrodynamics of multiphase hydrocarbon flows, taking into account heat exchange with the rocks surrounding the well, and phase transitions in the fluid. Using the software package, test calculations were carried out to demonstrate the performance of the proposed and implemented models.

W artykule omówiono model matematyczny hydromechaniki przepływów wielofazowych o zmiennej masie. Przepływ wielofazowy jest traktowany jako kontinuum składające się ze zbioru dużej liczby różnych grup cząstek. Wprowadzone równania ruchu i kryteria podobieństwa są podane z uwzględnieniem zarówno zewnętrznej dołączonej (lub odłączonej) masy, jak i przejść fazowych wewnątrz ośrodka. Równania transferu masy, pędu i energii dla poszczególnych faz i ośrodka jako całości otrzymano przy użyciu podstawowych praw zachowania. Wykazano, że w przypadku braku źródeł (lub wypływów) masy, pędu i energii, znane równania hydromechaniki przepływu jedno- i wielofazowego wynikają jako szczególny przypadek z otrzymanych układów równań ruchu i kryteriów podobieństwa. Uzyskane równania ruchu mają zastosowanie do opisu składnika mieszaniny i medium jako całości, niezależnie od ich właściwości fizycznych i mechanicznych. Do ich rozwiązania można wykorzystać termodynamiczne i reologiczne równania stanu, a także wyrażenia dotyczące przepływu ciepła, siły międzyfazowych masy, przejść fazowych i wymiany ciepła między fazami. Wdrożone modele umożliwiają symulację zarówno stacjonarnego rozkładu parametrów wzdłuż odwiertu podczas wydobycia, jak i procesów niestacjonarnych, które zachodzą na przykład podczas zmiany prędkości wału pompy w trakcie wydobycia ropy. Opracowane podejścia zostały zaimplementowane w oprogramowaniu DataFlow do analizy hydrodynamiki wielofazowych przepływów węglowodorów, z uwzględnieniem wymiany ciepła ze skałami otaczającymi odwiert oraz przejść fazowych w płynie. Za pomocą pakietu oprogramowania przeprowadzono obliczenia testowe w celu wykazania wydajności proponowanych i wdrożonych modeli.

This scientific work presents a study of areas of application and improvement for the Clapeyron–Mendeleev equation to determine the technological parameters of natural and associated petroleum gas under field conditions. As a result of scientific and practical research and laboratory work, the authors, based on the molecular kinetic theory of gases, developed and improved the Clapeyron– Mendeleev equations of state of real gases by adding some genuine parameters for natural and associated petroleum gases produced from oil and gas condensate fields. In this regard, two additional parameters are introduced in the Clapeyron–Mendeleev equation-relative density and relative velocity of gas: and this, as a new scientific result, helps determine any parameter from the seven included in the equation of state of natural and associated petroleum gases developed by the authors. Continuous technological process according to the system of “production, collection, preparation and transportation of products (oil + gas)”, including, separately in non-equilibrium conditions of “collection, preparation and transportation of gas” due to internal energy, causes a natural change in a wide range of basic technological parameters that contribute to frequent changes in the physical and chemical state of the gas. Therefore, this work establishes that one of the main tasks is to show the composition of natural and associated petroleum gas as a result of irreversible transformations of hydrocarbon and acidic components of its internal energy, as a result of which the gas is characterised by a number of patterns in the composition and distribution of components of various hydrocarbon and heterogeneous compositions (i.e., physically and chemically heterogeneous). In these conditions, a practical calculation of gas facilities (gas treatment point, selection of gas separators, field gas pipelines, compressor stations) is carried out to determine process parameters using the Clapeyron–Mendeleev equation of state for real gases, and the results show large errors. This proves once again that many authors have developed equations of state for real gases based on the results of laboratory studies with single-atomic and laboratory gases (hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, etc.). However, the authors here carried out laboratory studies with products and associated petroleum gas. According to the results of laboratory studies, the authors recommend an improvement of the equation of state of natural and associated petroleum gases.

W pracy przedstawiono studium obszarów zastosowania i doskonalenia równania Clapeyrona–Mendelejewa do wyznaczania parametrów technologicznych gazu ziemnego i towarzyszącego gazu ropopochodnego w warunkach złożowych. W wyniku badań naukowych i praktycznych oraz prac laboratoryjnych autorzy, w oparciu o molekularną teorię kinetyczną gazów, opracowali i udoskonalili równania stanu gazów rzeczywistych Clapeyrona–Mendeleeva poprzez dodanie niektórych parametrów rzeczywistych dla gazu ziemnego i towarzyszących gazów ropopochodnych wydobywanych ze złóż ropnych i kondensatowych. W związku z tym do równania Clapeyrona– Mendeleeva wprowadzono dwa dodatkowe parametry – gęstość względną i prędkość względną gazu, co, jako nowy wynik naukowy, pozwala na wyznaczenie dowolnego parametru z siedmiu parametrów zawartych w opracowanym przez autorów równaniu stanu gazu ziemnego i towarzyszącego gazu ropopochodnego. Ciągły proces technologiczny zgodnie z systemem „produkcji, odbioru, przygotowania i transportu produktów (ropa + gaz)”, w tym osobno w warunkach nierównowagi „odbioru, przygotowania i transportu gazu”, ze względu na energię wewnętrzną powoduje naturalną zmianę w szerokim zakresie podstawowych parametrów technologicznych, które przyczyniają się do częstych zmian stanu fizykochemicznego gazu. Dlatego też przedmiotowa praca jako jedno z głównych zadań stawia przedstawienie składu gazu ziemnego i towarzyszącego mu gazu ropopochodnego powstałego w wyniku nieodwracalnych przemian węglowodorowych i kwasowych składników jego energii wewnętrznej, w wyniku czego gaz ten charakteryzuje się szeregiem prawidłowości pod względem składu i rozprzestrzenienia poszczególnych składników węglowodorowych (o niejednorodnym składzie pod względem fizycznym i chemicznym). W tych warunkach przeprowadzono praktyczne obliczenia dla instalacji gazowych (punkt uzdatniania gazu, dobór separatorów gazu, gazociągi terenowe, tłocznie) w celu określenia parametrów technologicznych z wykorzystaniem równania stanu Clapeyrona–Mendelejewa dla gazów rzeczywistych. Wyniki wykazują duże błędy. Dowodzi to po raz kolejny, że wielu autorów opracowało równania stanu dla gazów rzeczywistych na podstawie wyników badań laboratoryjnych z gazami jednoatomowymi i laboratoryjnymi (wodór, azot, tlen, dwutlenek węgla itp.). Natomiast obecnie autorzy przeprowadzili badania laboratoryjne z udziałem eksploatowanych węglowodorów i towarzyszącego im gazu ropopochodnego. Na podstawie wyników badań laboratoryjnych autorzy zalecili korektę równania stanu dla gazu ziemnego i towarzyszących mu gazów ropopochodnych.

Women often use sports bras when doing physical activities, but most women have recently shown interest in using sports bras as everyday bras. Therefore, this study used pressure analysis to identify a suitable sports bra that generates less pressure at the shoulder strap for all breast sizes. Among fashion design and engineering students, an interview was conducted at Zhejiang Sci-Tech University. Based on this random survey, women found more comfort in using sports bras as everyday bras, but the shoulder strap and waistband prevented them from doing it regularly. Therefore, this study emphasized only the shoulder straps because it was the most uncomfortable feature among others. More attention needs to be made to the strap width and neckline when selecting a sports bra because when it comes to females with breast sizes 34C and 36C, encapsulation types with cross-back designs are suitable. However, we noticed that the shoulder straps should be widened based on breast size. The encapsulation type with a racer back is recommended for women with breast size 38C.

To ensure the operability of machinery and equipment for the oil and gas industry, it is important to study their operation with subsequent improvement. This scientific work is devoted to highlighting the operation simulation of the impeller in a submersible centrifugal pump, because the pump itself is the main equipment in oil production. The main parts of a submersible centrifugal pump are its stages, consisting of an impeller and a guide vane. When the impeller rotates, a force interaction of the flow with the impeller blades occurs, while a pressure difference in the fluid flow on both sides of each blade arises. The pressure forces of the blades on the flow create a forced rotational and translational motion of the fluid, increasing its mechanical energy. It should be noted that the movement of fluid in pump sections is a rather complex process that is difficult to accurately describe analytically. However, today there are various computer programs (SOLIDWORKS FlowSimulation, ANSYS CFD, etc.) based on the finite volume method (FVM). To study the operation of a submersible centrifugal pump impeller, there has been built its threedimensional model. As a result of calculations, the distribution of pressure and velocity in the cross section of the impeller was obtained.

Considering the key equipment of the pipeline clamp repair technology, this paper analyzes design of the pipeline repair clamp. Based on the damaged pipeline repair requirements, the design of a double-sealing pipeline repair clamp is established. The subsea pipeline in the Bohai Bay is considered as an example to develop a finite element model of a double sealing structure and calculate the sealing capacity, targeting a sealing pressure of 6MPa. The parameters affecting the sealing capacity are studied. For circumferential sealing, the effects of distance between the rubber and the pipeline, distance between the ring and the pipeline, and the contact friction coefficient on the sealing capacity are analyzed. The design parameters of circumferential sealing are optimized by an orthogonal experimental design method. Further, the effect of the friction coefficient on the axial sealing capacity is studied, and design suggestions are put forward based on the analysis. The results of this study can provide guidance for the design and application of subsea pipeline repair clamps.

Better understanding of two-phase fluid behavior is required to optimize the design models of the components containing a twophase refrigerant. This is important since applications increasingly seek to operate in the region of high reduced pressure values, for instance the vapor generator, which is a key heat exchanger in the Organic Rankine Cycle system and the high temperature heat pump. Implementations are carried out at high evaporation saturation temperatures where the refrigerant transformation to vapor occurs at temperatures higher than 90°C. Analysis of the literature analysis shows there is a gap in knowledge regarding two-phase flow for synthetic refrigerants at high saturation temperatures. Reliable prediction of pressure drop in two-phase flows is an important prerequisite for accurate optimization of thermal systems. The total pressure drop of a fluid derives from the variation of potential and kinetic energy of the fluid and friction on the channel walls or between the phases (60-120oC) and moderate reduced pressures (0.2-0.5). This paper presents a modification to the established Müller-Steinhagen and Heck (1986) model for two phase pressure drop in relation to high values of reduced pressures. Model validation has been done in comparison to reliable experimental data obtained by Charnay et al. (2015) for R245fa at reduced pressures above 0.5. The modification constitutes a significant improvement on the calculations presented in the literature, including by the authors of experimental data.

The article focuses on the study of medium density sand and sandy loam density changes during water-cement solute injection and pressiometer expansion. Cement mortar injection is performed into boreholes under small pressure of up to 300 KPa resulting in radial well expansion. This expansion process also takes place during pressiometer studies. A cavity of compacted soil is formed around the expended boreholes in radial direction; the anchor and pile load determine field studies of the load, which they can perceive along lateral surface. It is worth noting that they frequently do not coincide with the calculated values. Following field anchor excavations, it was observed that root shearing can occur both directly at the contact between the cement root and the soil and at some distance from it. Subsequent laboratory studies revealed that when the soil is pressed, its density can change along a sinusoid, comprising pressed zones and decompaction zones. This gives rise to the displacement of the shear zone at the contact between the root and the soil.

In commercially available generation III and III+ PWR (pressurized water reactor) reactors, pressure of steam produced in steam generators varies in a relatively wide range from 5.7 to 7.8 MPa. Therefore, it is important to ask which value of steam pressure should be used for a specific unit, taking into account different location conditions, the size of the power system and conditions of operation with other sources of electricity generation. The paper analyzes the effect of steam pressure at the outlet of a steam generator on the performance of a PWR nuclear power plant by presenting changes in gross and net power and efficiency of the unit for steam pressures in the range of 6.8 to 7.8 MPa. In order to determine losses in the thermal system of the PWR power plant, in particular those caused by flow resistance and live steam throttling between the steam generator and the turbine inlet, results concerning entropy generation in the thermal system of the power plant have been presented. A model of a nuclear power plant was developed using the Ebsilon software and validated based on data concerning the Olkiluoto Unit 3 EPR (evolutionary power reactor) power plant. The calculations in the model were done for design conditions and for a constant thermal power of the steam generator. Under nominal conditions of the Olkiluoto Unit 3 EPR power unit, steam pressure is about 7.8 MPa and the steam dryness fraction is 0.997. The analysis indicates that in the assumed range of live steam pressure the gross power output and efficiency increase by 32 MW and 0.735 percentage point, respectively, and the net power output and efficiency increase by 27.8 MW and 0.638 percentage point, respectively. In the case of all types of commercially available PWR reactors, water pressure in the primary circuit is in the range of 15.5−16.0 MPa. For such pressure, reducing the live steam pressure leads to a reduction in the efficiency of the unit. Although a higher steam pressure increases the efficiency of the system, it is necessary to take into account the limitations resulting from technical and economic criteria as well as operating conditions of the primary circuit, including the necessary DNBR (departure from nucleate boiling ratio) margin. For the above reasons, increasing the live steam pressure above 7.8 MPa (the value used in EPR units that have already been completed) is unjustified, as it is associated with higher costs of the steam generator and the high-pressure part of the turbine.

The article is devoted to the theoretical study of the operation process of the borehole ejection system as part of the tubing string, jet pump and packer installed below; the system implements the hydrojet method of oil well operation. The improved design of the jet pump contains inclined guiding elements placed in its receiving chamber for swirling the injected flow, which results in an increase in the efficiency of the borehole ejection system. Based on the law of conservation of liquid momentum in the mixing chamber of the jet pump and taking into account the inertial pressure component caused by the swirling of the injected flow, there is obtained the relative form of the equation of the ejection system pressure characteristic, the structure of which contains a component that determines the value of the additional dynamic head. According to the results obtained, the additional dynamic head caused by swirling of the injected flow is determined by the ratio of the geometric dimensions of the flow path of the jet pump, the angle of inclination of the elements for creating vortex flows, and the ratio of the power and reservoir fluids. In the case of asymmetric swirling of the injected flow, an increase in the value of the relative displacement of the jet pump decreases the value of the additional dynamic pressure. In order to study the effect of flow swirling on the energy characteristic of the ejection system, the pressure characteristic of the jet pump was transformed into the dependence of its efficiency on the injection coefficient. Jet pump models with the ratio of the cross-sectional areas of the mixing chamber and the nozzle of 5.012 and 6.464, respectively, were used to check the adequacy of the theoretical pressure and energy characteristics obtained during the simulation of the performance process of the concentric ejection system. The average error in the theoretical determination of the pressure and efficiency of the vortex jet does not exceed 8.65% and 6.48%, respectively.

Artykuł poświęcony jest teoretycznemu studium opisującemu proces pracy wgłębnego systemu wydobycia z odwiertu złożonego z kolumny rur wydobywczych, pompy strumieniowej i zainstalowanego poniżej pakera; przy użyciu tego systemu prowadzona jest eksploatacja odwiertów naftowych metodą hydrojet. Udoskonalona konstrukcja pompy strumieniowej zawiera skośne elementy prowadzące umieszczone w jej komorze zasilającej do zawirowania przepływu tłoczonego płynu, co skutkuje zwiększeniem wydajności systemu wydobycia z odwiertu. Na podstawie zasady zachowania pędu cieczy w komorze mieszania pompy strumieniowej oraz po uwzględnieniu bezwładnościowej składowej ciśnienia wywołanej zawirowaniem przepływu tłoczonego płynu otrzymuje się względną postać równania charakteryzującego ciśnienia w układzie ejekcyjnym, którego struktura zawiera składnik określający wartość dodatkowej wysokości podnoszenia. Zgodnie z uzyskanymi wynikami dodatkowa wysokość podnoszenia spowodowana zawirowaniem przepływu tłoczonego płynu jest określona przez: stosunek wymiarów geometrycznych toru przepływu pompy strumieniowej, kąt nachylenia elementów tworzących przepływ wirowy oraz stosunek płynów zasilających i złożowych. W przypadku asymetrycznego zawirowania przepływu tłoczonego płynu wzrost wartości względnej wyporności pompy strumieniowej powoduje zmniejszenie wartości dodatkowego ciśnienia dynamicznego. W celu zbadania wpływu zawirowania przepływu na charakterystykę energetyczną układu ejekcyjnego – charakterystykę ciśnieniową pompy strumieniowej przekształcono na zależność jej sprawności od współczynnika tłoczenia. Do sprawdzenia prawidłowości teoretycznych charakterystyk ciśnienia i energii uzyskanych podczas symulacji procesu pracy koncentrycznego układu ejekcyjnego wykorzystano modele pomp strumieniowych o stosunku powierzchni przekroju komory mieszania do dyszy odpowiednio 5,012 i 6,464. Średni błąd ciśnienia i wydajności strumienia wirowego wyznaczonych w sposób teoretyczny nie przekraczał odpowiednio 8,65% i 6,48%.

This paper presents a simple model which can be used to calculate the following values:  critical depth for which the well integrity is preserved in a shale or coal horizon with actual shale/coal mechanical parameters, actual mud density and reservoir parameters;  minimum mud density at which stress concentration at the wellbore wall is below the allowable limit for a given rock’s mechanical parameters, formation pressure gradient, and overburden pressure gradient;  mud density required for the preservation of shale/coal integrity at the wellbore wall at any depth, assuming that the strength parameters of shale or coal, formation pressure gradient, and overburden pressure gradient are constant. The appropriate equations were derived using the maximum principal strain hypothesis, which holds for brittle materials. It was also assumed that the radial pressure at the borehole wall is caused by the weight of overburden rocks. The author’s intention was to provide formulas which are as simple as possible and which can be easily used in practice. The final equations were based on the solution to the Lame problem, which was adopted to represent a vertical drilling well with a circular cross-section and filled with mud whose hydrostatic pressure is assumed to oppose the pore pressure. Included are effects of silt swelling pressure, overburden pressure, mud density and the mechanical properties of the rock – including the unconfined compressive strength and Poisson’ s ratio. In the case of shale or silty coal layers, the swelling pressure increases the volume of the clay minerals in the pores by diffusion the mud filtrate, which reduces the pore volume and increases the pore pressure, and therefore impacts the calculations. Presented model allows for derivation of the Hubert–Willis formula for fracturing pressure or fracture pressure gradient, which are commonly used in the oil industry. The calculation results are presented using data from the domestic oil industry and data from one of the Polish coal mines.

Przyjęto również, że przy założeniu odkształceń sprężystych ciśnienie radialne na ścianie otworu jest spowodowane ciężarem skał nadkładu. Intencją autorów było podanie możliwie jak najprostszych wzorów, które mogłyby zostać zastosowane w praktyce. Wykorzystano rozwiązania tzw. problemu Lamégo, to jest rozpatrywano stan naprężeń na ścianie pionowego wyrobiska o przekroju kołowym, traktując skałę jako materiał sprężysty. We wzorach na wielkość naprężeń na ścianie wyrobiska o przekroju w kształcie okręgu uwzględniono wpływ ciśnienia pęcznienia, ciśnienia wywieranego przez nadkład, gęstość płuczki, jak również parametry wytrzymałościowe łupku/węgla, w tym wytrzymałość na ściskanie w jednoosiowym stanie naprężeń i współczynnik Poissona. W przypadku warstw łupków lub węgli zailonych ciśnienie pęcznienia powoduje zwiększenie objętości minerałów ilastych w porach w wyniku dyfuzji filtratu płuczki, co zmniejsza objętość porów i zwiększa ciśnienie porowe, a zatem wpływa na wyniki obliczeń. Przedstawiony model pozwala na wyprowadzenie z niego powszechnie stosowanego w przemyśle wzoru Huberta–Willisa, podającego wielkość ciśnienia szczelinowania skał na ścianie otworu oraz gradientu ciśnienia szczelinowania. Przedstawiono wyniki obliczeń dla danych z otworów z krajowego przemysłu naftowego oraz jednej z polskich kopalni węgla kamiennego.

In this study, a general analysis of one dimensional steady-state thermal stresses of a functionally graded hollow spherical vessel with spherical isotropy and spherically transversely isotropy is presented with material properties of arbitrary radial non-homogeneity. The material properties may arbitrarily vary as continuous or piecewise functions. The boundary value problem associated with a thermo-elastic problem is converted to an integral equation. Radial and tangential thermal stress components distribution can be determined numerically by solving the resulting equation. The influence of the gradient variation of the material properties on the thermal stresses is investigated and the numerical results are presented graphically.

The Forest of Upper Alibori is subject to strong agricultural and pastoral pressures from year to year despite the implementation of a forest management plan. It is therefore appropriate to conduct an integrated and spatialized analysis of the effects of these pressures on plant biodiversity from a spatial planning perspective. The research objective is to establish a multi-criteria zoning of the Upper Alibori Forest Reserve that can reconcile biodiversity conservation and sustainable agropastoral exploitation. A methodological approach based on geomatics was adopted. Hierarchical multi-criteria analysis and cross-layer analysis are the main techniques adopted. The state of plant biodiversity, one of the important criteria for multi-criteria zoning. The intersection of the scientific zoning and the zoning proposed by the riparian population shows a similarity of 54%. In the central core, the similarity between the two types of zoning is 32%. Spatially, this similarity is observed along the Alibori River. At the level of the agricultural series, the two zonings show a similarity level of 23%. The elaboration of an integrated zoning made it possible to distinguish several management series. The management series delimited are made up of the central core (32%), the protection series (11%), the production series (17%), the scientific research series (2%), the service series (2%) and the agropastoral and reforestation series (36%). The implementation of such zoning is the responsibility of the forest administration.

Current paper presents the results of the experimental analysis on permafrost uppermost soil samples with various physical properties (moisture, porosity) tested with varied external pressure and time. The aim of this work is to test properties of the soil samples intended for the construction of buildings, railways and objects of civil infrastructure by modeled external pressure, data visualization and analysis. Variations in the soil samples were studied by analysis of the equivalent soil cohesion (Ceq) in frozen soil samples. Methods include integrated application of the laboratory experiments, methods of the statistical data analysis and 3D plotting performed by the selected LaTeX packages. Laboratory experiments were performed using KrioLab equipment ‘Sharikovy Stamp PSH-1’. The 15 series of experiments have been tested. Models of the soil strength are graphically presented and statistically analyzed showing the results of the experiment.

The paper presents formulas which can be used to determine steam condensation pressure in a power plant condenser in off-design conditions. The mathematical model provided in the paper makes it possible to calculate the performance of the condenser in terms of condensing steam pressure, cooling water temperature at the condenser outlet, and condenser effectiveness under variable load conditions as a function of three input properties: the temperature and the mass flow rate of cooling water at the condenser inlet and the mass flow rate of steam. The mathematical model takes into account values of properties occurring in reference conditions but it contains no constant coefficients which would have to be established based on data from technical specifications of a condenser or measurement data. Since there are no such constant coefficients, the model of the steam condenser proposed in the paper is universally applicable. The proposed equations were checked against warranty measurements made in the condenser and measurement data gathered during the operation of a 200 MW steam power unit. Based on the analysis, a conclusion may be drawn that the proposed means of determining pressure in a condenser in off-design conditions reflects the condenser performance with sufficient accuracy. This model can be used in optimization and diagnostic analyses of the performance of a power generation unit.

Purpose: Defect of the interproximal wall of the tooth is filled with use the shaped matrix and wedge which seals bottom margin during filling. Better fit of the wedge and equalization of the pressure forces on the matrix is achieved by the compliance of the wedge structure through cuts and perforations and the use of silicone materials and unidirectionally expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE). The work presents a methodology for model studies of the mechanics of dental wedges in order to evaluate and compare the impact of wedge materials on functional features. The hypothesis of the work was that the mechanical properties of ePTFE determine the effectiveness of the dental wedge. Design/methodology/approach: Effect of modulus of elasticity and friction coefficient of wedge and matrix materials on the functional features of the wedge was studied on the way Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Simulation included contact sliding between wedge and matrix what was simulated in nonlinear large displacements regime. The sealing evaluation criterion was the pressure distribution between the wedge and matrix below the lower edge of the defect. Displacement values were the criterion for the loss of convexity as a result of matrix deformation. Findings: The material for the wedge should be characterized by a low coefficient of friction, low elasticity (ensuring high compliance of the wedge) and at the same time the ability to large permanent deformations, which allows for plastic shaping of the matrix from the side of the defect in order to achieve the required wall convexity and the tangent point. Research limitations/implications: Results show tendency of phenomena in limitation to model simplification of the interdental gap and the ideal adhesion of the matrix to the tooth and linear elasticity of materials. Practical implications: The material that best meets the requirements is unidirectionally expanded polytetrafluoroethylene, which has one of the lowest coefficients of friction and very high plasticity necessary to shape the matrix from the inside of the cavity. Originality/value: Methodology of model study and criteria of functional characteristics of dental wedge was presented.
