A blowerless heat exchanger apparatus based on micro-jet entrainment is disclosed. The heat exchanger apparatus incorporates a number of fins regularly spaced apart from each other and parallel to each other, thus letting air currents flow in the space defined between them. A dense array of micro-jet nozzles can be fabricated on the fins surface pointing to the flow direction of the air movement in order to induce increase airflow. The air from an air compressor delivers sufficient airflow on the fins surface utilizing micro-jets entrainment. The micro-jet entrainment confirms strong turbulent around the micro-jets and suggests significant heat transfer enhancement. The turbulence from the micro-jets enhance the heat transfer coefficient, potentially by an order of magnitude, therefore allowing much larger fin spacing and leads to huge reduction of flow resistance and overall power consumption.

A cationic copolymer represented by the following formula (I) has a viscosity average molecular weight in a range from 2 million to 10 million. In the cationic copolymer, the mole fractions of three structural units corresponding to three monomers are as follows: x being in a range from 0.01 to 20%, y being in a range from 0 to 15%, and z=1−x−y. When used in the construction of leaking stoppage in an oil well, a cationic chemical lost circulation additive prepared with the cationic copolymer is mixed with an anionic drilling fluid in a section of the wellbore where lost circulation occurs. Then neutral reaction and cross linking reaction occur, so that the viscosity of the resulting mixture rapidly increases to form a space grid structure. This blocks off the leakage path, and thus effects on efficient leaking stoppage in a short time period.

A screen section is made with variable resistance to flow in the screen material to balance the flow along the screen length. In one variation different discrete zones have screens configured for different percentages of open area while all have the same particle filtration capability. In another variation discrete portions have differing amounts of overlapping screen portions so as to balance flow without affecting the particle size screened. The cross-sectional shape of a wire wrap underlayment for the screen is made closer to trapezoidal to decrease the angle of opening for the incoming flow paths toward the base pipe. In this manner flow resistance is reduced and flow is increased due to reduced turbulence.
