Experimental Investigation on Temperature-Resistant CO₂ Foam Flooding in a Heterogenous Reservoir by Mei Tian, Yi Wu, Yuhua Shi, Guohua Cao, Yu Sun, Maozhu Li, Wei Wang, Li Gao, Zhipeng Wang, Yiqiang Li

“…This work takes a high-temperature heterogenous sandstone oil reservoir as an example; the foaming performance of different surfactants was evaluated via foamability, thermal stability, crude oil tolerance ability, and dynamic blocking capacity. The profile control performance of the optimized foaming agent was investigated via dual-core gas flooding experiments. (1) The results show that QPJ-c featured good foaming stability, which made it present the largest foam comprehensive index, although its foaming volume was slightly lower than that of QPJ-b. …”

Radio frequency energy harvesting-combined collaborative energy-saving computation offloading mechanism by Bei TANG, Qian WANG, Siguang CHEN

“…In order to fit the differentiated energy demands in vertical markets and ensure that internet of things (IoT) devices can hold an efficient and sustainable operation mode, a radio frequency energy harvesting-combined collaborative energy-saving computation offloading mechanism was studied.Specifically, a system energy consumption minimization problem was formulated under the joint optimization consideration of computation offloading decision, uplink bandwidth resource allocation, downlink bandwidth resource allocation and base station power splitting.Meanwhile, by combining the concept of penalty function, a new evaluation index was introduced, and then an adaptive particle swarm optimization-based collaborative energy saving computation offloading (APSO-CESCO) algorithm was proposed to solve the problem.The proposed algorithm constructed dynamic inertia weight and linearly adjusted penalty factor, which could alternate the spatial distribution density of the particle community in real-time during the iterative search process, and the optimal computation offloading policy with tolerable punishment could be well-generated.Furthermore, to prevent particles from exceeding exploration range, the velocity boundary was introduced which could also reduce the generation probability of invalid solutions and improve the actual exploration effectiveness.Finally, the simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can achieve higher convergence efficiency and solution accuracy, and compared with other common benchmark schemes, the system energy consumption can be reduced by 34.09%, 14.72%, and 6.86%, respectively.…”
