... production, while in solvent-diluted oil, if solvent comes out of solution as pressure drops, oil viscosity will increase again and one of the main benefits of the solvent will be lost. Solvent selection in CSI needs to consider which solvents have non-equilibrium properties, specifically delayed release...

... of different domain sizes to study the effect of the pressure drop across the nozzle and the steam distribution. An evenness factor is proposed to quantify the overall steam distribution and to identify problematic slot areas. Based on the developed model, the OCD design is simplified and parameterized...
