Optimization and application of hydraulic fracture propagation in carbonaceous and siliceous shales of marine-continental transition facies

open access: yesMeikuang Anquan
Aiming at the differences in mechanical properties of carbonaceous and siliceous shale rocks in transitional facies, a hydraulic fracturing model was established using the finite element ABAQUS numerical simulation software. The influence of lithological

Can switching fuels save water? A life cycle quantification of freshwater consumption for Texas coal-and natural gas-fired electricity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Thermal electricity generation is a major consumer of freshwater for cooling, fuel extraction and air emissions controls, but the life cycle water impacts of different fossil fuel cycles are not well understood.

Structural, Mechanical, and Genetic Insights into Heat‐Pressed Fomes Fomentarius Mycelium from Solid‐State and Liquid Cultivations

open access: yesAdvanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
Fungal mycelium‐based materials are an upcoming class of sustainable materials. Heat ‐pressing is a promising post‐processing technique to produce fungal mycelium‐based particle boards or leather substitutes. However, little is known about the mechanism involved.

Simulation of Hydraulically Fractured Wells

open access: yesIOR 1997 - 9th European Symposium on Improved Oil Recovery, 1997
Fractured wells are frequently encountered in petroleum engineering. They can be hydraulically fractured wells to improve oil production or wells intersecting natural fractures. Due to the presence of the fractures, the flow behaviour and the pressure distribution in the vicinity of the fractured well are complex and the numerical modelling for this ...

Micro‐Architected Lithium Cobalt Oxide

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This work introduces a gel infusion additive manufacturing technique for the fabrication of micro‐architected lithium‐ion battery cathodes, exemplified with LiCoO2. The resulting electrodes are free‐standing and binder‐free, with tunable microstructure and independent structural control across multiple length scales.
