The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of electrospinning parameters including polymer solution concentration (10-15 wt.%), applied voltage (15-25 kV) and tip-collector distance (7.5-12.5 cm) on the filtration efficiency of polyamide (PA) nanofibers. The morphology of the PA nanofibers was characterized using scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis. The SEM image results indicated that the average fiber diameter of PA nanofibers was 220 nm at PA solution concentration of 12.5 wt.%, applied voltage of 20 kV, tip-collector distance of 10 cm, flow rate of 0.5 mL h-1, tem- perature of 25 °C and humidity of 40%. The obtained results showed that the highest quality factor and efficiency of 7.02×10-2 Pa-1 and 96% were optimal parameters for nanofibrous filters during 30 and 240 min of electrospinning time, respectively. The presented study showed that the morphology optimization of nanofibers is an effective method for improvement of filtration performance.

Received: 26 August 2019; Accepted: 16 September 2019; Published: 20 September 2019 Abstract: Water–rock interactions can alter rock properties through chemical reactions during subsurface transport processes like geological CO2 sequestration (GCS), matrix acidizing, and waterflooding in carbonate formations. Dynamic changes in rock properties cause a failure of waterflooding and GCS and could also dramatically affect the efficiency of the acidizing. Efficient numerical simulations are thus essential to the optimized design of those subsurface processes. In this paper, we develop a three-dimensional (3D) numerical model for simulating the coupled processes of fluid flow and chemical reactions in fractured carbonate formations. In the proposed model, we employ the Stokes–Brinkman equation for momentum balance, which is a single-domain formulation for modeling fluid flow in fractured porous media. We then couple the Stokes–Brinkman equation with reactive-transport equations.

Within the oil and gas industry, igneous rocks are still seen as exploration and production challenges, due to their diverse petrogenesis and the wide range of values ​​of some important petrophysical properties. This petrophysical variability depends on both primary and secondary processes. These facts made these rocks unattractive for decades. This condition is still observed in many fields around the world. This article has as main objective to make a historical review of studies developed globally with a focus on igneous rocks that act as a reservoir in petroleum systems. The review covered in this article was developed from a compilation of global data, thus allowing an overview of the countries that produce hydrocarbons in volcanic rocks, what types of rocks, geological age, and size of the reserve. Countries such as China and Indonesia stand out with higher daily production, exceeding orders of quantities of 108 cubic meters of gas and 104 tons of barrels of oil.

Con- compute the interaction force between the rock and the ventional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods are fluid of different densities through the MD simulation. This not adequate for simulating these problems as they have calculated rock–fluid interaction force, combined with the difficulty in dealing with multi-component multi-phase fluid–fluid force determined from the equation of state, is flow systems, especially phase transitions. In addition, the then used in LBM modeling. Without parameter fitting, this complex pore structure of rocks is a big challenge for study presents a new systematic approach for pore-scale conventional grid generation and computational efficiency modeling of multi-phase flow.
