It is a brine solution, so that should be 1.75 cP not 1750 cp sorry. It is a rock formation, but I can not provide the picture. The 1300 psi is an estimate of the pressure before the wellbore comes to refusal. This is all just an estimate, but we are trying to figure out a suitable model so we...
Thanks for the reply. Yes this is a real problem. We are trying a different method of estimating crack area in an underground formation. The different flow rates was a typo thanks for catching it. The reason why this estimate seems off to me is because we have some photographic evidence that...
Hi everyone,
I'm currently trying to estimate the area of a crack in a pipe based on the pressure difference and leakage rate out of the crack. I've been assuming that the crack is a rectangular slot and trying to use a variation of the orifice eqution, but the results I've been getting seem...
Thanks for all the suggestions. Treating it like a slot seems to be the best approach. We are trying to find a different method to estimate the area of underground cracks based on pressure and leakage rate.
Hi,
I'm trying to find an equation that relates the size of a crack (or slit) in a pipe to the pressure drop. Basically I'm trying to find an equation similar to an orifice plate, but for a crack in the pipe instead. The end of the pipe would be capped so that all flow is directed out of the...
