TL;DR: In this paper, a spray assisted low-temperature desalination system is proposed, which applies direct contact heat and mass transfer mechanism for both evaporation and condensation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the thermal processes with numerical simulation models that include solid NaCl precipitation, buoyancy-driven multiphase SCCO2 migration, and potential non-isothermal effects.
Abstract: We evaluated the thermal processes with numerical simulation models that include processes of solid NaCl precipitation, buoyancy-driven multiphase SCCO2 migration, and potential non-isothermal effects. Simulation results suggest that these processes—solid NaCl precipitation, buoyancy effects, JT cooling, water vaporization, and exothermic SCCO2 reactions—are strongly coupled and dynamic. In addition, we performed sensitivity studies to determine how geologic (heat capacity, brine concentration, porosity, the magnitude and anisotropy of permeability, and capillary pressure) and operational (injection rate and injected SCCO2 temperature) parameters may affect these induced thermal disturbances. Overall, a fundamental understanding of potential thermal processes investigated through this research will be beneficial in the collection and analysis of temperature signals collectively measured from monitoring wells.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a practical approach about water/oil interface in realistic systems, i.e., using a crude oil and water or brine solution, the last one with the same composition of the water produced along with the oil production.
