Gel strength - Optimal solid removal efficiency
Input(s)
\(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{s}}\): Expected Drilled Solids in Drilling Fluid (fraction)
\(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{c}}\): Drilled Solids in Discard (fraction)
Output(s)
\(\eta_{\mathrm{sr}}\): Optimal Solid Removal Efficiency (fraction)
Formula(s)
\[
\eta_{\mathrm{rs}}=1-\left(\frac{1-\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{s}}}{1-\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{s}}+\left(\frac{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{c}}}{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{s}}}\right)}\right)
\]
