[0029] The details of the present invention can be more clearly understood by referring to the accompanying drawings and the description of specific embodiments. However, the specific embodiments of the present invention described herein are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the invention in any way. Under the teachings of this invention, those skilled in the art can conceive of any possible modifications based on the invention, and these should all be considered to fall within the scope of the invention.
[0030] In acid fracturing model calculations, H + Reaction rate and H + Mass transfer rates characterize the acid-rock reaction boundary and affect the accuracy of the simulation. The overall rate of the limestone-HCl reaction is primarily controlled by mass transfer; therefore, it is necessary to study the H+ ion transfer rate. + Mass transfer coefficient k g Conduct relevant research.
[0031] In existing technologies, theoretical calculation methods are based on flat plate conditions to calculate the mass transfer coefficient. The theoretical calculation method for the mass transfer coefficient is as follows:
[0032]
[0033] In the formula: k g D is the mass transfer coefficient, in m / s;e m is the effective diffusion coefficient of the substance. 2 / s;N sh is the Sherwood number, which is the ratio of convective mass transfer to diffusion mass transfer and is dimensionless; w is the slit width, in meters.
[0034] In the calculation formula (1), the effective diffusion coefficient D e Furthermore, the seam width w is usually known, and the only parameter that needs to be determined is the Sherwood number N. sh Its value needs to be determined based on the Reynolds number N. Re The magnitude is used to determine the flow regime, and then N is selected under the corresponding flow regime. sh The calculation formula is as follows:
[0035]
[0036] Where: N Re N is the Reynolds number, characterized by the ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces in a fluid, and is dimensionless. Sc N is the Schmidt number, characterized by the ratio of kinematic viscosity to diffusion coefficient, and is dimensionless. Pe is the Petrette number, which is the ratio of convection rate to diffusion rate and is dimensionless.
[0037] In the experimental determination, the mass transfer coefficient is mainly determined by the average acid-rock reaction rate. In the experimental determination, the experimental rock slab is first divided into grids of a certain size (e.g., 1 mm) with a length, width, and height, and the center line of the rock slab is taken as the reference line. The dissolution height of each grid on the reference line at different acid injection times is statistically analyzed. In order to reduce the influence of changes in the surface morphology of the rock slab on the flow rate and mass transfer, the time is divided into different stages according to a certain time. For example, 20 min can be selected as the calculation time unit. The dissolution height of 20 min and 40 min is subtracted from the experimental time of 40 min and 60 min respectively to obtain the dissolution height of 20-40 min and 40-60 min. 0-20 min, 20-40 min, and 40-60 min are defined as the first, second, and third stages respectively. Then, the average acid-rock reaction rate J is calculated according to equation (3), and the average mass transfer coefficient is further obtained according to equation (4).

[0040] Where: J represents the average acid-rock reaction rate, kg / (m³). 2 ·s); △h is the dissolution height, m; ρ s Density of rock; kg / m³ 3φ is porosity; t is time, s; β is the solubility of the acid in the rock minerals, kg / kg; M is the molar mass of the rock, kg / mol.
[0041] Figure 2 This section compares the theoretical results of mass transfer coefficient using existing technology with experimental measurements. The results show the mass transfer coefficients for the upper and lower rock plates under a specific experimental condition. A significant difference in magnitude between the two values is evident. Experimental measurements show that k... g The flow field differences caused by surface roughness at different lengths of the rock slab have a significant impact on the mass transfer coefficient, leading to variations in k measured at different locations in experiments. g The difference is even greater. This is because the theoretical calculation of the mass transfer coefficient in existing technologies is based on the assumption of a flat plate, which differs significantly from the actual morphology of the rough surface of carbonate rocks. Therefore, in order to more accurately determine the H during acid fracturing... + Regarding the mass transfer rate, this application provides a method for calculating the mass transfer coefficient of acid in a rough slit of carbonate rock, comprising the following steps:
[0042] 1) Based on the condition of rough morphology of carbonate rocks, construct the equation for the thickness of diffusion boundary layer under the condition of rough morphology;
[0043] 2) Solve to obtain the diffusion boundary layer thickness, and calculate the mass transfer coefficient according to the relationship between the diffusion boundary layer thickness and the mass transfer coefficient.
[0044] In step 1), the two-dimensional convection-diffusion equation for the acid solution is first established. Assuming the amount of reactants produced is negligible compared to the main concentration, and axial diffusion is less than normal diffusion, the simplified expression for the two-dimensional convection-diffusion equation is:
[0045]
[0046] In the formula: c is the concentration of the substance, kg / m³ 3 x and z represent the axial and normal directions, respectively, in meters (m); u and w represent the velocities along the x and z directions, respectively, in meters per second (m / s); t is time, in seconds (s); D is the diffusion coefficient, in meters (m). 2 / s.
[0047] Use dimensionless concentration Replacing equation (5) with the actual concentration distribution, we get:
[0048]
[0049] After the concentration is replaced, the boundary conditions become:
[0050]
[0051] In the formula: c0 is the concentration at position z = 0, kg / m³ 3 c ∞ The concentration at position z = ∞, kg / m³ 3 δ represents the mass transfer boundary layer;
[0052] The dimensionless boundary conditions are:
[0053]
[0054] By integrating the boundary layer in equation (6) and applying the solution, a weak solution to the equation can be obtained:
[0055]
[0056] Applying Leibniz's rule to process the two integrals on the left side of equation (9), and directly integrating the two integrals on the right side, we obtain:
[0057]
[0058] Combine the following definitions and continuity equations:
[0059]
[0060] Substituting into equation (10), we get:
[0061]
[0062] Assuming the flow is locally linear, the vertical velocity at δ can be approximated as:
[0063]
[0064] Substitute into equation (12), and express the equation as δ 2 The equation yields:
[0065]
[0066] Combine the following conditions:
[0067]
[0068] Substituting into equation (14) and introducing coefficients, we get:
[0069]
[0070] in:
[0071]
[0072] In one embodiment, it is assumed that the velocity distribution in space and time is known and fixed; implicitly, it is assumed that the diffusion boundary layer is completely located within the hydrodynamic boundary layer, and that all velocities are constant along the surface direction. Based on the four limiting cases of mass transfer (unsteady diffusion, no convection; steady-state flow surface with no shear and no strain; steady-state flow with constant shear; steady-state flow with constant strain, u0 is not zero), the equations are verified and the exact values of the coefficients E and F in the first differential equation are derived, where E = 0.735 and F = π, and equation (16) becomes:
[0073]
[0074] Considering the rough morphology of the cracks, the absence of acid slippage, and the presence of filtration loss during cleaning, the plate setting condition in equation (16) is modified to obtain the equation for the thickness of the diffusion boundary layer with rough morphology:
[0075]
[0076] Where δ is the thickness of the diffusion boundary layer; T is time; The unit tangent vector is along the tangent direction of the surface. It is a unit normal vector, pointing towards the inside of the fluid; It is the tangent vector; is the filtration velocity vector, and its direction is the normal direction; D is the material diffusion coefficient.
[0077] In step 2), the diffusion boundary layer thickness is obtained by solving the diffusion boundary layer thickness equation established in step 1). Then, the mass transfer coefficient is calculated based on the relationship between the mass transfer coefficient and the boundary layer thickness. The relationship is as follows:
[0078]
[0079] The above process allows for the calculation of the mass transfer coefficient under the condition of rough morphology.
[0080] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, when the roughness coefficient of the crack surface is greater than a set threshold, a curvature correction coefficient is introduced to correct the diffusion boundary layer thickness equation, wherein the roughness coefficient = d / R min The corrected equation for the diffusion boundary layer thickness is as follows:
[0081]
[0082] Where d is the distance between the center of the first computational unit and the interface, and R min Let R be the radius of the minimum curvature circle existing in the surface, and R be the radius of the curvature circle in the surface.
[0083] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the threshold value is set to 0.05, i.e., the roughness coefficient. When this is done, a 1 / R term is introduced into the principal curvature direction of the diffusion boundary layer thickness equation to correct it, and the accuracy of the local plane is higher.
[0084] In a specific embodiment of this invention, theoretical calculations and experimental measurements were performed to verify and compare the differences between the proposed mass transfer coefficient calculation method and the experimental results. First, the values of the basic parameters were determined, as shown in Table 1. Then, as... Figure 3 As shown, a pseudo-three-dimensional rough plate (178 mm in length and 36 mm in width) was prepared using laser engraving technology according to the set experimental parameters. Acid etching experiments were then conducted to obtain experimental data and determine the H... + Mass transfer coefficient.
