A. I. Moshinskii UDC 532.62:66.02
This paper considers the nonstationary process of extraction from a solid body modeled by a system of semiinfinite capillaries connected with a group of no-flow channels when the mass transfer velocity in the flow is composed of two components — a constant velocity component and a time-periodic addition to the first one that is assumed to be small relative to the amplitude. We have obtained analytical dependences for the masstransfer characteristics that are of practical interest: the concentration and the diffusion flow for both the main approximation and with correction for the periodic action on the system.
Keywords: two-component model, mass transfer, periodicity, porous body, extraction.

UDC 536.25
Free convection in a heat-releasing granular bed for constant and exponential forms of heat release has been mathematically modeled on the basis of a two-temperature model. The extremum character of the dependence of the flow rate of the gaseous heat-transfer agent on the heat-release power and bed "choking" (cessation of the heat-transfer-agent filtration) for higher-than-average heat releases have been established. Dimensionless dependences for calculation of the flow rate of the heat-transfer agent and its outlet temperature in the region
of stable convection have been obtained.

PRESSURE TRANSIENT ANALYSIS
OF DEFORMABLE RESERVOIRS
A. A. Shchipanov UDC 532.546, 622.276
A new integrated methodology of evaluating the change in the permeability of a fractured or pressure-sensitive porous reservoir based on analytical or numerical simulation of a fluid inflow to a well has been proposed.
The analysis draws on results of well tests. Analytical solutions of direct and inverse problems allow an evaluation of the permeability variation with decreasing pressure. Numerical simulation of an unsteadystate fluid inflow to a well (a direct problem) allows determining the diagnostic signs of variation in the reservoir permeability from the dynamics of the bottom hole pressure and an assessment of the evaluations obtained from solving an inverse problem. The methodology has been approved using results of some well tests.
Keywords: deformable reservoir, fractured reservoir, porous medium, fluid flow (filtration), permeability variation, well tests, reservoir simulation.

Consideration has been given to the problem of transfer of a substance in a porous medium consisting of two zones: a) with transit pores (with a mobile liquid) and b) with an immobile liquid (with bound water) with allowance for the effects of convective transfer, hydrodynamic dispersion, substance adsorption, and internal mass transfer between both zones. The fields of substance concentration, adsorption, and internal mass transfer for different cases determined by the character of adsorption and internal mass exchange have been determined.
It has been established that the presence of zones with an immobile liquid significantly influences

On the basis of experience in commercial operation, the effect of steam seal in tire-shred pyrolysis in a screw-type reactor with superheated steam has been considered and analytically substantiated; there, local steam feed produces the above effect at the total reduced pressure and keeps air from entering the reactor without sluices or valves used for hermetization of its loading and unloading. It has been shown that the increase in the production rate of pyrolysis due to the heating by steam amounts to 10–15% and is limited by the diffusion transfer in the reactor’s charge bed.
