Gel strength - Optimal solid removal efficiency

Input(s)

Vs\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{s}}: Expected Drilled Solids in Drilling Fluid (fraction)

Vc\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{c}}: Drilled Solids in Discard (fraction)

Output(s)

ηsr\eta_{\mathrm{sr}}: Optimal Solid Removal Efficiency (fraction)

Formula(s)

ηrs=1−(1−Vs1−Vs+(VcVs))\eta_{\mathrm{rs}}=1-\left(\frac{1-\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{s}}}{1-\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{s}}+\left(\frac{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{c}}}{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{s}}}\right)}\right)
