The Design and Construction of an Absolute Permeameter to measure the Effect of Elevated Temperature on the Absolute Permeability to Distilled Water of Unconsolidated Sand Cores
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- A new absolute permeameter was designed and constructed in order to investigate the effect of temperature on absolute permeability. The main goal of this work was to improve the controls of the permeameter and to investigate the flow of distilled water through unconsolidated silica sand cores. No significant change in the absolute permeability with a change in temperature was observed. This result is different than results reported in previous work done at Stanford. It is believed that system problems, such as converging flow in the core plugs, caused the observation of permeability reduction with an increase in temperature. This work will be extended to consolidated sandstones and will aid in the design of relative permeability experiments.
