In this paper, a POD reduced-order interpolation model is used to predict the flow and heat transfer performance in the porous media region during the in situ pyrolysis process of tar-rich coal. The accuracy of the predicted results is verified through comparison with the results obtained using the finite volume method (FVM). The effects of inlet velocity, inlet temperature, permeability, and porosity on the quality fraction of oil and gas production are analyzed.
In this paper, a POD reduced-order interpolation model for solving the in situ pyrolysis process of tar-rich coal is employed to predict the flow and heat transfer performance in the porous media region so as to save computational resources and realize fast calculations. Numerical simulation using the finite volume method (FVM) is firstly used to obtain sample data, based on the samples through the primary function and spectral coefficients of the solutions. The physical field information and parameter distribution under different conditions of inlet temperature, inlet velocity and permeability are predicted. The results are compared with those of FVM to verify the accuracy of the calculated results. The relative mean deviation (RME) of the results of the POD prediction of each parameter for each working condition was synthesized to be no more than 5%. The performance of in situ pyrolysis of tar-rich coal is then investigated, and the oil and gas production are predicted. As the inlet velocity increases from 0.3 m/s to 0.9 m/s, the fraction of high-quality oil and gas production reaches 0.47 and then decreases to 0.38. Increasing the inlet temperature and permeability has a negative effect on the fraction of high-quality hydrocarbon production, after which the quality fraction of high-quality oil and gas dropped sharply to about 0.22. Porosity has a positive impact on the oil and gas production. When the porosity reaches 0.3, the quality fraction of high-quality oil and gas can reach 0.27.
