The Frequency Characteristics of Transformer Windings Considering the Separation-Dependence of the Inter-Turn Mutual Parameters
Abstract: The paper presents a direct method for the determination of the frequency characteristics of transformer windings. The dependence of both the inter-turn mutual inductances and capacitances on the separation between these winding turns is taken into consideration. From measured data available in the literature, a formula for this dependence is derived. The voltage and current distributions along the winding will be governed by two integro-differential equations in terms of the …

Study of Physical and Chemical Properties of Heavy Waxy Crude Oil from Cambay Basin Using Rheometer and Cross-Polar Microscope
Abstract: Production of heavy crude is quite difficult as the pressure drops from reservoir to production facility are quite large. This often leads to the precipitation and deposition of common organic solids (paraffin). These solids may deposit on surfaces, collect in low-energy regions or increase the effective viscosity of the flowing fluid. The net effect is an increase in pressure drop for a given rate through reduction in flowing area or …

The Effects of Hydro Confining Pressure on the Flow Properties of Sandstone and Carbonate Rocks
Abstract: There is a significant effect of the hydro confining pressure of the core holder on the flowing properties of the formation rocks. This effect is caused due to the mechanical elastic deformation of the core when carrying out laboratory studies of the water shutoff and polymer compositions. Consequently, this deformation will cause changing in the permeability and voids storage capacity of the studied core samples. Therefore, under the laboratory conditions …

An Overview of Poroperm Relationship in the Recognition of Heterogeneity in Petroleum Reservoirs
Abstract: Reservoir heterogeneity is comprehended on different scales based on vertical and lateral variations in the hydrocarbon bearing sedimentary sequences. The two depositional systems, Sand-shale and carbonate with complex patterns based on properties of rocks help in deciding quality of rocks, the most important being the porosity permeability relationship. The intricate relationship of these two parameters if discussed in connection with sampling depth gives better understanding of variations in vertical direction …
