The safety problem of large-size drilling tools in large-size boreholes has become increasingly prominent with the exploration and development of deep and ultradeep wells. This study analyzes the causes of large-size drilling tool failures from the engineering point of view via statistical analysis, experimental material test, and vibration and bending analyses. Results show that the violent downhole vibration changes the drilling tool's mechanical properties. These changes results in an uneven distribution of hardness and reduced impact work, finally leading to the initiation of fatigue cracks at stress concentration points. Drilling tool bending is closely related to drilling parameters and BHA configuration. Unreasonable BHA configuration and drilling parameters increase BHA bending and accelerate fatigue failure. Once a crack is generated, the corrosive ions in water-based drilling fluids invade the microcrack, causing the corrosion of the drilling tool material. As a result, the strength is reduced, and the fracture is aggravated. Therefore, measures for preventing the failure of large-size drilling tools are proposed. We hope that the results of this work can provide useful guidance for drilling engineers.

The effects of hydrogen fraction (HF: volumetric fraction of H2 in the fuel mixture of CH4+H2) from 0 to 100% - by vol, on thermal and environmental performance of a 207-MW industrial water tube boiler are investigated numerically at fixed excess air factor, λ=1.15. This study aims to determine the hardware modifications required for boilers to be retrofitted for pure hydrogen operation and investigates how NOx emissions are affected by hydrogen enrichment. The results showed insignificant increases in maximum combustion temperature with increasing the HF, through the distributions of temperature profiles are distinct. In reference to the basic methane combustion, H2 flames resulted in positive temperature rise in the vicinity of the burner. Increasing the HF from 0% to 2% resulted in higher average thermal NOx emissions at the boiler exit section from 37 up to 1284 ppm, then it decreased to 1136 ppm at HF=30%, and later it leveled up to 1474 ppm at HF=100%. The spots for higher differences in NO formation compared to the reference case are shifted downstream at higher HFs. The effect of hydrogen enrichment on CO2 and H2O as radiation sources, as well as the volumetric absorption radiation of the furnace wall and the heat flux at furnace surfaces, have all been presented in relation to the effect of hydrogen addition on boiler performance.

In the quest for decarbonizing internal combustion engines, ammonia (NH3) is recognized as a viable alternative fuel due to its zero-carbon emission profile, positioning it as a potential substitute for conventional petroleum fuels. However, the suboptimal combustion characteristics of ammonia pose challenges for its direct application in engines. The introduction of hydrogen (H2) as a combustion enhancer shows promise in improving ammonia viability for engine use. While previous studies have confirmed the benefits of hydrogen addition to ammonia for enhanced engine performance, comprehensive analysis on the precise ammonia-to-hydrogen ratio for optimal efficacy remains scarce. This research aims to bridge this gap by evaluating hydrogen-ammonia mixtures for achieving methane-equivalent laminar flame speeds under typical engine conditions, with a focus on the kernel inception process primarily driven by laminar flames. The findings indicate that a minimum of 20% hydrogen mixed with ammonia is necessary to facilitate a rapid spark inception, although it does not reach the laminar flame speed of methane. Additionally, employing a high compression ratio and operating near stoichiometry could lower the required hydrogen-ammonia ratio. Considering the challenges in generating ample hydrogen with NH3 dissociators and the need for operational conditions like full-load and low-speed to lessen hydrogen demand, ammonia-hydrogen fuel blends are deemed most suitable for stationary engine applications in the near term.

Herringbone well is effective in improving productivity for bottom-water reservoir, however, the main problem faced in the exploitation of bottom water reservoir is the ridge and cone of bottom water during the process of waterflooding, which leads to the decline of oil production. Therefore, predicting the breakthrough time and location of herringbone wells in bottom water reservoirs and then adjust the water injection measures are of great significance for improving production and development. In this paper, by establishing a three-dimensional coning model of bottom water to study the dynamic performance of bottom water rises, and the sequence of breakthrough position is determined by studying the breakthrough time along the wellbore. Based on the reservoir numerical simulation, carry out the comprehensive adjustment of water injection mechanism, develops the water injection scheme under the combination arrangement of vertical wells and herringbone well. The results show that the bottom water breakthrough position of the branch well is mainly near the heel of the main branch or near the middle subsidence, and the recovery rate is the highest when the branch Angle is 45°. The longer the shut-in time, the higher the recovery. The study is of great significance to optimize the layout and spatial structure, determine a reasonable working system, delay water channeling, and increase the cumulative production of herringbone wells.

The increasing concentration of greenhouse gasses in Earth's atmosphere is a critical concern, of which 75% of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are from the combustion of fossil fuels. This rapid increase in emissions led to irredeemable damages to ecosystems such as climate change, acid rain, etc. As a result, industries and academia have focused on developing innovative and cost-effective technologies for CO2 capture and storage (CCS). Physical/chemical absorption using amine and membrane-based technologies are generally used in CCS systems. However, the inherent technical and cost-effective limitations of these techniques directed their attention toward applying nanotechnologies for CCS systems. Here, the researchers have focused on infusing nanoparticles (NPs) into existing CCS technologies. The NPs could either be suspended in a base fluid to create nanofluids (NFs) or infused with membrane base materials to create nanocomposite membranes for enhanced carbon capture capabilities. This review paper investigates the manufacturing methods, characterization techniques and various mechanisms to analyze the impact of nanoparticles-infused nanofluids and nanocomposite membranes for CO2 capture. Finally, the paper summarises the factors associated with the two technologies and then outlines the drawbacks and benefits of incorporating NPs for CCS applications.

Electric vehicles (EVs) have emerged as an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional fuel vehicles. Lithium-ion batteries are the major energy source for EVs, but they degrade under dynamic operating conditions. Accurate estimation of battery state of health (SOH) is important for sustainability as it quantifies battery condition, influences reuse possibilities, and helps alleviate capacity degradation, which finally impacts battery lifespan and energy efficiency. In this paper, a self-attention graph neural network combined with long short-term memory (LSTM) is introduced by focusing on using temporal and spatial dependencies in battery data. The LSTM layer utilizes a sliding window to extract temporal dependencies in the battery health factors. Two different approaches to the graph construction layer are subsequently developed: health factor-based and window-based graph. Each approach emphasizes the interconnections between individual health factors and exploits temporal features in a deeper way, respectively. The self-attention mechanism is used to compute the adjacent weight matrix, which measures the strength of interactions between nodes in the graph. The impact of the two graph structures on the model performance is discussed. The model accuracy and computational cost of the proposed model are compared with the individual LSTM and GRU models.

In order to reduce energy consumption and related CO2 emissions, waste heat recovery is considered a viable opportunity in several economic sectors, with particular attention on industry and transportation. Among different proposed technologies, thermodynamic cycles using suitable organic working fluids seem to be promising options, and the possibility of combining two different cycles improves the final recovered energy. In this paper, a combination of Brayton and Rankine cycles is proposed: the upper cycle has carbon dioxide as the working fluid, in supercritical phase (sCO2), while the bottomed Rankine section is performed by an organic fluid (ORC). This combined unit is applied to recover the exhaust energy of the flue gases of an internal combustion engine (ICE) for the transportation sector. The sCO2 Brayton cycle is directly facing the exhaust gases, and it should dispose a certain amount of energy at lower pressure, which can be furtherly recovered by the ORC-unit. A specific mathematical model has been developed, which makes use of experimental data of the engine to assess a realistic final recoverable energy. The model is able to evaluate the performance of each subsection of the recovery, highlighting the interactions and possible trade-offs between them. Hence, the combined system can be optimized from a global point-of-view, identifying the most influencing operating parameters and also considering a regeneration stage in the ORC unit.
