Experimental Investigation and Theoretical Modelling of Swelling and Solution of Coated Polyacrylamide Particle in Porous Media, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Ramazani Saadatabadi, Ahmad (Supervisor)
Abstract
The main purpose of this study is simulation of in-situ release of nano-size coated polymer particles at the water-oil interface during the polymer flooding. Reaching at the flooding interface, the hydrophobic coating starts dissolving into the oil phase. Subsequently, the hydrophilic core polymer starts diffusing back and simultaneously solves into the water phase and increase the in-situ viscosity of the flooding interface. Because of the in-situ release of the polymer and consequently the viscosity reduction of the injected fluid, the driving force for injection of the polymer as well as the amount of polymer used in flooding will reduce. In addition, smart coating can decrease the...
