Both the characteristics of lithofacies and tectonic movements are important factors in
controlling the development, destruction, and preservation of pores in shale reservoirs …

A model for gas transport in shale is proposed by accounting for three major fluid flow
mechanisms in shale stratum, which is modeled as a 3D fractal media. The proposed …

Microfluidic chips present considerable potential in biomedical analysis and high-throughput
cell separation, owing to their efficient and precise microscale flow control capabilities. In …

Hydrate saturation estimation in the field is mainly controlled by proper interpretations of
downhole electrical logging data based on Archie's law. However, saturation exponent …

The pore size distribution (PSD) and fractal dimension of tight sandstone are studied with
mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP). Four different fractal models are used to calculate …

Pore–throat structure is a key factor that influences the storage and fluid flow capacity of tight
sandstone reservoirs. By performing petro-physical characteristic tests, scanning electron …

Process engineering of food materials is strongly associated with their microstructure, which
quantification allows proper selection of equipment operating conditions, monitoring …
