Study of the effect of hydrodynamic, electrostatic and magnetic forces on the non-thermal plasma (NTP) injection in the crude oil

The use of the non-thermal plasma for the purpose of the enhanced oil recovery has been limited due to the dimensions of the area under effect.

Description
Summary:The use of the non-thermal plasma for the purpose of the enhanced oil recovery has been limited due to the dimensions of the area under effect. Yet the research based on using non-thennal plasma stretches from surface treatment of polymers till medical treatment of wounds but still its use in Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) needs more attention £rom scientific community. In the current manuscript a concept has been presented in which the application of the high potential using Di-Electric Barrier Discharge (DBD) on the crude oil along with the application of separate electrical and magnetic fields will be persuaded. The effect of these methods will be judged by the Kerr and Pockel's effects whereas the separation of the desired species will be attained using separate electrical and magnetic filters. With the help of this setup it could be hoped that Hydrodynamic, Electrical and Magnetic force's effect will be studied. Along with it the effect of injection of a specific type of species on the effectiveness of plasma will be studied as well. The crude oil impinged with non-thermal plasma rich with a specific type of species imparted by the direct injection of the non-thermal plasma into the crude oil in a coupling flow loop mechanism will be investigated. The proposed methodology is in refining and designing stage and will be experimented after wards. Here the research idea has been shared and the results will be published after when the experiments have been conducted.
