Abstract:The objective of this study was to understand fluid heat and mass transfer processes in porous media with different pore structures. High-resolution Magnetic Resonance Imaging was used to measure fluid flow velocity and temperature maps in porous media. Firstly, three orthogonal velocity components (V-x, V-y, and V-z) of single phase flow measurement were evaluated. The flow distribution in porous media is rather heterogeneous, and it is consistent with heterogeneous pore structure, and the velocity in large pore is high. Then we presented initial results from the extension of this work to two-phase flow. The CO2 channeling phenomena were obvious. And the CO2 velocity was calculated from saturation of water. Finally, the linearity relationship between temperature and the MRI parameter was determined for porous media, and we measured the temperature distribution of water saturated porous media. The study provides useful data for heat and mass process during CO2 storage.
