    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Farshi Taghavi, Mahdis (Author) ; Rashtchian, Davood (Supervisor) ; Seif, Shayan (Co-Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Carbon dioxide is one of the main geenhouse gases emitted from factories as well as transportation vehicles that adversely affect the atmosphere and cause global warming. Among the proposed solutions to reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, carbon dioxide separation would be the most viable medium-term approach. However, the high cost of carbon dioxide separation prevents the development of carbon dioxide absorption technologies. Therefore, it seems that integrating separation and production processes is the most efficient way to save energy and reduce carbon emissions. This method decrease a high proportion of the energy consumption in upstream operations (carbon dioxide removal,...

    Simulation Study of Onset of Density-Driven Carbon Dioxide Dissolution and Fingers Instability in Heterogeneous Porous Media

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Eskandari, Ali (Author) ; Taghikhani, Vahid (Supervisor) ; Ghazanfari, Mohammad Hossein (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Due to the increasing consumption of fossil fuels, the Earth's atmosphere is changing at an unprecedented rate due to carbon dioxide production. Therefore, its absorption, transport, and storage in underground reservoirs are suitable methods to control this vital problem. One of the options for storing carbon dioxide is to inject it into a saline aquifer. The dissolution of carbon dioxide in the upper parts of the saline aquifer increases the carbon dioxide saturated fluid density. As a result, instability due to the density difference in the reservoir fluid causes convective mixing. This phenomenon is favorable due to the significant increase in the dissolution rate of carbon dioxide in the...
