[0055] The magnetic field power supply is used to provide current to the excitation coil.
[0056] In this embodiment, the excitation coil and fluxmeter are as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown; the fluxmeter is inserted into the oil medium of the dehydration tank through the fluxmeter hole in the top cover of the dehydration tank; the material of the excitation coil can be high-temperature resistant enameled wire with a maximum heat resistance temperature of 180℃; the magnetic field power supply can generate three forms of voltage waveforms: AC square wave, AC sine wave and DC wave, and one of the voltage waveforms can be selected according to the actual experimental requirements. The AC output amplitude range of the magnetic field power supply can be -15KV to +15KV, the DC output range can be 0KV to +30KV, and the magnetic field frequency adjustment range can be 0-400HZ.
[0057] In one exemplary embodiment, the ultrasound module further includes:
[0058] Ultrasonic generator: used to convert mains power into a high-frequency alternating current signal that matches the ultrasonic transducer, wherein the high-frequency alternating current signal is converted into mechanical vibration by the ultrasonic transducer to form the ultrasonic field.
[0059] In this embodiment, the power range of the ultrasonic generator is 0-0.64KW, and the ultrasonic generator is electrically connected to the ultrasonic transducer through a wire.
[0060] In one exemplary embodiment, the dehydration module further includes:

[0062] Baffle: includes a bottom baffle covering the non-protrusion portion of the first connector and a side baffle covering the side of the protrusion. The material is insulating material, used to prevent the first high-voltage electrode and the second high-voltage electrode from discharging to the first connector.

[0063] Thermostatic heating element: Covers part of the dehydration tank wall and is out of the camera's field of view, used to maintain the dehydration temperature at the preset experimental temperature.
[0064] In this embodiment, in addition to the first slide, the second slide, and the liquid inlet, the top cover may also be provided with a fluxmeter hole through which the fluxmeter can pass, such as... Figure 5 The top view of the rectangular dehydration tank shown shows a ring of bolt holes around the top cover, which can be bolted to the tank wall. When the dehydration tank is cylindrical, the top cover is circular and can also be provided with a first slide, a second slide, a liquid inlet, a flux meter hole, and a ring of bolt holes.
[0065] In this embodiment, the baffle is made of insulating material, such as polytetrafluoroethylene. The height of the side of the baffle is greater than the height of the boss in order to prevent the first high-voltage electrode and the second high-voltage electrode from discharging onto the boss. The material of the first connecting seat can be 304 stainless steel.
[0066] In this embodiment, the constant temperature heating element can be a heating material such as a silicone heating element. When the dehydration tank is a cuboid or cube, the constant temperature heating element can be covered on three sides of the outer surface of the tank wall, and the camera is aimed at the remaining side to capture video of water droplet aggregation. When the dehydration tank is a cylinder, the constant temperature heating element can be covered on one-half or three-quarters of the outer surface of the tank wall, as long as it does not obstruct the camera's field of view.

The high-voltage electric field parameters include the electrode adjustment signal. In addition to the processor automatically adjusting the position of the first high-voltage electrode and the second high-voltage electrode, the position of the first high-voltage electrode and the second high-voltage electrode can also be manually adjusted.
[0075] In this embodiment, the high-voltage power supply can generate three types of voltage waveforms: AC square wave, AC sine wave, and DC wave.

The AC output amplitude range of the high-voltage power supply can be -15KV to +15KV, the DC output range can be 0KV to +30KV, and the high-voltage electric field frequency adjustment range can be 0-5000HZ.
[0076] In one exemplary embodiment, the oil medium is white oil.
[0077] In this embodiment, white oil is used as the oil medium because white oil is similar in properties to crude oil and can be used as a simulated medium for the dehydration treatment of crude oil emulsion. At the same time, white oil is a colorless medium with good visibility, which makes it easy for the camera to record the video of water droplet aggregation in the oil medium.
[0078] In one exemplary embodiment, the high-voltage electric field parameters include: the distance between the first high-voltage electrode and the second high-voltage electrode, the high-voltage electric field strength, the high-voltage electric field frequency, and the voltage waveform;
[0079] The magnetic field parameters include: magnetic field strength, magnetic field frequency, and magnetic field duration;
[0080] The ultrasonic field parameters include: ultrasonic intensity, ultrasonic frequency, and ultrasonic action time.
[0081] In this embodiment, the dehydration principle of the high-voltage module is as follows: small water droplets in the oil medium converge into larger water droplets under the action of a high-voltage electric field. Specifically, the small water droplets become polarized into dipoles under the action of the high-voltage electric field, and then coalesce under the attraction between the dipoles and the repulsion of the liquid film. The attraction between the dipoles is as follows: Figure 6 As shown.
[0082] In this embodiment, the attractive force F between two dipoles on the same straight line can be calculated using formula (1), where P is the electric dipole moment, l is the distance between the two dipoles, and ε is the electric dipole moment. o Let ε be the dielectric constant of the oil medium. wLet r be the dielectric constant of water, r be the radius of the water droplet, and E be the high voltage electric field strength. From formula (1), it can be seen that the attraction F between the two dipoles is proportional to the high voltage electric field strength E. That is, the higher E is, the more favorable it is for the water droplets to coalesce. However, during the experiment, the increase of the high voltage electric field strength E may cause problems such as short circuits and electrical dispersion. When the water content in the oil medium is high, the number of water droplets will increase, the water droplet radius r will increase, and the distance l between the two dipoles will decrease. The attraction F between the two dipoles will also be greater, which is conducive to the coalescence of water droplets. However, it is also necessary to consider that the high water content will increase the conductivity of the oil medium, which may cause short circuits between the first high voltage electrode and the second high voltage electrode. Therefore, when conducting the dehydration experiment of the oil medium, an appropriate high voltage electric field strength and water content should be set.
[0083]
[0084] In this embodiment, the liquid film repulsion between dipoles can be represented by the drainage velocity v. The formula for calculating the drainage velocity v is formula (2), where μ is the viscosity of the oil medium, r is the radius of the water droplet, h is the distance between the two water droplets, and F e It is the electric field force generated by the high-voltage module, F s It is the interaction force between the molecules of the two droplets. As can be seen from formula (2), when the viscosity μ of the oil medium is high and the radius r of the water droplet is large, the drainage velocity v is small. At this time, the liquid film repulsion between the dipoles is small, and it is not easy for them to coalesce.
[0085]
[0086] In this embodiment, the dehydration principle of the magnetic field module is as follows: water droplets in the oil medium will be subjected to a Lorentz force F under the action of a magnetic field. L The electric force f generated by the current that produces the magnetic field e Viscous resistance F d And interfacial tension, Lorentz force F L The calculation formula is formula (3), and the electric field force f e The calculation formula for is formula (4), and the viscous resistance F d The calculation formula is formula (5), where B in formula (3) is the magnetic field strength, Q is the charge of the water droplet, and v is the drainage velocity; in formula (4), σ' is the polarization charge density of the water droplet, and E' is the electric field strength generated by the magnetic field module; in formula (5), C D Represents the drag coefficient, v is the discharge velocity, and ρ is the displacement coefficient. o A represents the density of an oil medium excluding water. r This represents the projected area of the water droplet.

[0089]
[0090] In this embodiment, the induced electromotive force generated by the magnetic field module can include motional electromotive force and induced electromotive force, wherein the motional electromotive force originates from the Lorentz force F. L The calculation formula is formula (6); the induced electromotive force is generated by the changing magnetic field. Since both oil and water are dielectrics, polarization charges will be generated on the surface of the water droplets due to polarization under the action of the magnetic field. Therefore, under the electric field force f e The polarization charge generated under the action of the electric field can be calculated using the formula (7) for the polarization charge density σ' under the action of the electric field; in formula (6), B is the magnetic field strength, L is the diameter of the water droplet, and v is the drainage velocity; in formula (7), Let P2 be the unit outward normal vector of the oil-water interface, P1 be the polarization intensity of water, P2 be the polarization intensity of the oil medium, and ε0 be the vacuum permittivity, where ε0 = 8.842 × 10⁻⁶. -12 F / m;ε r1 =ε o / ε0, i.e., ε r1 Let be the relative permittivity of the oil medium, and ε be the permittivity of the oil. o The ratio of the dielectric constant of vacuum ε0, ε r1 It can take the value 2.3F / m; ε r2 =ε w / ε0, i.e., ε r2 Let be the relative permittivity of water, and ε be the permittivity of water. w The ratio of the vacuum permittivity ε0 to ε r2 It can be taken as 81 F / m; E' is the electric field strength generated by the magnetic field module.

[0093] In this embodiment, under the influence of a magnetic field, the interfacial tension and interfacial stability between the oil medium and the water droplet decrease, the water droplet becomes polarized, and the charged particles H and O in the water molecules cut the magnetic field lines, generating a Lorentz force F that does no work but changes the trajectory of the water droplet. L When two or more water droplets come into contact, they will coalesce under the drive of interfacial tension, forming a larger water droplet.
[0094] In this embodiment, the dehydration principle of the ultrasonic module is as follows: water droplets in the oil medium, under the action of the ultrasonic field, undergo displacement and collision effects, causing the water droplets to continuously move towards the antinodes or nodes of the ultrasonic waves and collide with them, thus coalescing into larger water droplets. These larger water droplets then separate from the oil medium under the influence of gravity. The displacement effect of the water droplets is as follows: Figure 7 The water droplet distribution before ultrasonic treatment is shown. Figure 8 The distribution of water droplets after ultrasonic treatment is shown.
[0095] In this embodiment, under the action of ultrasound, the water droplet is mainly subjected to three forces: the drift force F caused by the asymmetry of the water droplet's motion. A The drift force F caused by sound pressure radiation R The drift force F caused by changes in temperature and viscosity v .

[0111] In this embodiment, the three drift forces mentioned above, namely F, are considered. A F R and F v The formula for calculating the force F* exerted on a water droplet in the direction of ultrasonic wave propagation under the action of an ultrasonic field can be expressed as formula (13):

[0114] In this embodiment, when F* > 0, the water droplet moves towards the antinode; when F* < 0, the water droplet moves towards the node; as... Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the displacement effect gives water droplets more opportunities to collide, which is the main theoretical basis for ultrasonic dehydration.
[0115] This application embodiment also provides a visualized multiphysics field oil medium dehydration experimental method. The method is executed based on the visualized multiphysics field oil medium dehydration experimental platform described in the above embodiments, and includes steps S100-S300, as follows: Figure 9 As shown:
[0116] Perform one or more dehydration experiments, each of which includes S100-S200:
[0117] S100: The processor sends an activation signal and dehydration parameters to at least one of the high-voltage module, magnetic field module, and ultrasonic module;
[0118] S200: The camera records video of water droplet coalescence occurring in the oil medium in the dehydration tank, the water droplet coalescence video including video of water droplets falling on the boss coalescence and sends it to the processor;
[0119] S300: After the processor acquires the water droplet coalescence video corresponding to at least two dehydration experiments, it analyzes the acquired water droplet coalescence video to obtain the optimal dehydration parameters for the oil medium.
[0120] In this embodiment, at least two dehydration experiments are required. Steps S100-S200 are steps that must be performed in each dehydration experiment. In each dehydration experiment, the camera acquires the corresponding water droplet aggregation video and sends it to the processor. Each dehydration experiment corresponds to the dehydration parameters of that experiment. After the processor acquires the water droplet aggregation video corresponding to each dehydration experiment, step S300 is executed. The dehydration parameters corresponding to the water droplet aggregation video are comprehensively compared and analyzed. The dehydration parameters corresponding to the dehydration method with the lowest dehydration time cost or the most energy-efficient dehydration method can be taken as the optimal dehydration parameters.
[0121] In this embodiment, before conducting the first dehydration experiment, a camera is set up so that its field of view can fully observe all parts of the dehydration tank. The dehydration tank is cleaned to avoid stains appearing in the camera's field of view. The dehydration tank is then filled with white oil to prepare for the dehydration experiment.
[0122] In this embodiment, the dehydration experiment can be set to the water content of the white oil, and the corresponding optimal dehydration parameters can be obtained for different water contents.
[0123] In this embodiment, before each dehydration experiment, water droplets are dripped into the liquid inlet of the top cover. Then, the processor sends an activation signal and dehydration parameters to at least one of the high-voltage module, magnetic field module, and ultrasonic module. Modules that do not receive activation signals and dehydration parameters are in a closed state. After recording the water droplet aggregation video of the dehydration experiment, the water droplets in the white oil can be sucked out with a syringe to prepare for the next dehydration experiment.
