Gel strength - Solid control efficiency
Input(s)
\(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{r}}\): Fraction of the Solids Removed (unitless)
\(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{h}}\): Hole Volume (BBL)
\(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{d}}\): Volume of Solids Discarded (BBL)
Output(s)
\(\left(\eta_{\mathrm{s}}\right)\) ce: Solid Control Efficiency (fraction)
Formula(s)
\[
\left(\eta_{\mathrm{s}}\right) c e=\left(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{r}}\right) * \frac{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{d}}}{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{h}}}
\]
