Prediction of the Location of Concealed Pluton on the Spatial Variation Characteristics of Volatile Matter in Coal Seams by Yihao Li, Jingui Zhao, Wensheng Li

“…The results indicate the following: (1) In the central region of the exploration area, from No. 9 to No. 8 to No. 6 to No. 2 to No. 02, the contours of volatiles in each coal seam exhibit a ring pattern, with the size of the ring and the size of the volatiles change regularly. This pattern strongly suggests that the concealed pluton is developed in the underlying layer of the coal seam. (2) According to the linear fitting of the relevant data, it is predicted that the concealed pluton is located at a depth of 65.4 m below the No. 9 coal seam. …”

Recent advances in applications of green nanocomposites in enhanced oil recovery: a comprehensive review of different characterization methods and effective parameters by Meysam Hemmati, Yaser Ahmadi

“…In some cases, the contact angle dropped down from 161 to 28° or from 151 to 14°, which led to the creation of strong hydrophilic (water-wet) systems. The interfacial tension is also greatly diminished according to the modifying character of NCs, so that causes a reduction in IFT of more than 33.8 mN/m. …”

Prediction of water inflow after excavation of underground chamber group with long span and high buried depth by Rui LI, Hongfu ZHOU, Shuwu LI, Guanghong JU, Wanlin LIU, Wenqing TANG

“…The normal water inflow after excavation of the cavern group predicted by the groundwater dynamics method and the numerical analysis method are 7 442.88 m3/d and 7 218.32 m3/d, respectively, resulting in a 3.1% error, demonstrating strong agreement between the two methods. Based on engineering safety considerations, the calculation result of Sato’s empirical formula 7 442.88 m3/d is selected as the predicted value of normal water inflow after excavation of underground powerhouse cavern group of a pumped storage power station. …”
