Investigation of Two-phase Microchannel Flow and Phase Equilibria in Micro Cells for Applications to Enhanced Oil Recovery

The viscous oil-water hydrodynamics in a microchannel and phase equilibria of heavy oil and carbon dioxide gas have been investigated in connection with the enhanced recovery of heavy oil from petroleum reservoirs. The oil-water flow was studied in a circular microchannel made of fused silica with...
