The micro-sonde well logging system utilizes miniaturized data logging devices, which are released at the bottom of a well and record downhole parameters whilst being transported by fluid flow to surface. The μSonde capsules are designed to be small enough to pass restrictions without obstructing...

Exploitation of super-critical water from deep geothermal resources can potentially give a 5-10 fold increase in the power output per well. Such an improvement represents a significant reduction in investment costs for deep geothermal energy projects, thus improving their competitiveness. The...

This paper presents the thermal performance of a proposed thermal management device (patented in 2009) intended for a thermophoresis-based soot sensor. The performance was studied for temperatures ranging from 50 to 400 °C and for exhaust speeds up to 10 m/s. It also presents the design and basic...
