Engineering - Introduction to Modeling of Transport Phenomena in Porous Media (Theory and Applications of Transport in Porous Media, 4)

Description

Book Synopsis: The main purpose of this book is to provide the theoretical background to engineers and scientists engaged in modeling transport phenomena in porous media, in connection with various engineering projects, and to serve as a text for senior and graduate courses on transport phenomena in porous media. Such courses are taught in various disciplines, e.g., civil engineering, chemical engineering, reservoir engineering, agricultural engineering and soil science. In these disciplines, problems are encountered in which various extensive quantities, e.g., mass and heat, are transported through a porous material domain. Often the porous material contains several fluid phases, and the various extensive quantities are transported simultaneously throughout the multiphase system. In all these disciplines, management decisions related to a system's development and its operation have to be made. To do so, the 'manager', or the planner, needs a tool that will enable him to forecast the response of the system to the implementation of proposed management schemes. This forecast takes the form of spatial and temporal distributions of variables that describe the future state of the considered system. Pressure, stress, strain, density, velocity, solute concentration, temperature, etc., for each phase in the system, and sometime for a component of a phase, may serve as examples of state variables. The tool that enables the required predictions is the model. A model may be defined as a simplified version of the real (porous medium) system that approximately simulates the excitation-response relations of the latter.

Details

Are you an engineer or scientist working on projects involving transport phenomena in porous media? Introducing the book "Modeling of Transport Phenomena in Porous Media (Theory and Applications of Transport in Porous Media, 4)". This comprehensive guide provides the theoretical background needed to tackle complex engineering challenges in fields such as civil engineering, chemical engineering, reservoir engineering, agricultural engineering, and soil science.

Transporting mass and heat through porous materials is no easy task. With the presence of multiple fluid phases and the simultaneous transport of extensive quantities, it's crucial to have a solid understanding of how these processes interact. This book equips you with the knowledge and tools necessary to make informed decisions regarding system development and operation.

The key to successful management lies in accurate predictions of a system's response to proposed management schemes. This book allows you to forecast spatial and temporal distributions of variables that describe the future state of the considered system. Whether it's pressure, stress, strain, density, velocity, solute concentration, or temperature, you'll have a comprehensive understanding of state variables.

What sets this book apart is its emphasis on modeling. By simplifying the real system, the model provides a close approximation of its excitation-response relations. With this powerful tool at your disposal, you'll be able to simulate and analyze the behavior of porous media systems. Say goodbye to guesswork and hello to confident decision-making.
