Investigation of Thermal Conductivity and Heat Characteristics of Oil Sands Using Ultrasound Irradiation for Shortening the Preheating Time
Oil sands are attractive as an energy resource. Bitumen, which is found in oil sands, has high viscosity, so that it does not flow. Most oil sands areunderground and are developed with a method called steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD). Hot steam is injected underground to fluidizebitumen and pr...
