Temperature increase with time during in-situ combustion process

Input(s)

SoS_{o}: Saturation of Oil (fraction)

\emptyset: Porosity (fraction)

n\mathrm{n}: exponent

ρ\rho: Density of Oil (lb/ft3)\left(\mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{ft}^{3}\right)

AcA_{c}: Pre-exponential Constant (1/Fpsi)(1 / \mathrm{F} \mathrm{psi})

PO2P_{O 2}: Partial Pressure of Oxygen (psi)

MrM_{r}: Volumetric Heat Capacity of Reservoir (BTU/F ft3\mathrm{ft}^{3} )

E: Activation Eergy (BTU/lbm mol)

R: Gas Constant (BTU/lbm mol F)

TabT_{a b}: Absolute Temperature (K)

Output(s)

dTdt\frac{d T}{d t}: Temperature Increase with Time (K/s)(\mathrm{K} / \mathrm{s})

Formula(s)

dTdt=86,400(Soρ AcPO2nMr)exp(ER Tab)\frac{\mathrm{dT}}{\mathrm{dt}}=86,400\left(\frac{\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{o}} * \rho * \emptyset * \mathrm{~A}_{\mathrm{c}} * \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{O} 2}^{\mathrm{n}}}{\mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{r}}}\right) * \exp \left(-\frac{\mathrm{E}}{\mathrm{R} * \mathrm{~T}_{\mathrm{ab}}}\right)
