Item Experimental Study For the Process of the Borehole Thermal Reaming by Means of the Angular Plasmatron(EDP Sciences, 2019) Voloshyn, Oleksii I.; Potapchuk, Iryna Yu.; Yemelianenko, Volodymyr; Zhovtonoha, Mykola M.; Pertsevyi, Vitalii A.EN: Full-scale experimental study of the rock spallation by means of plasma jets is carried out. The aim of the experimental study was the measurement of the thermal power of plasma, weight of the rock spalls and duration of the plasma jets influence on the borehole surface. For the weight measurement of the rock spalls VT-200 analytical balance was used. In experimental study plasma jets flow out directly into the borehole of the granite block. The borehole and nozzles parameters of the plasmatron are complied with geometrical similarity. Experimental data are processed in the form of the energy consumption dependence of the thermal reaming of the borehole from the duration of the thermal treatment of the borehole surface. The results of the study could be applied to the borehole drilling processes.Item Experimental Study of the Thermal Reaming of the Borehole by Axial Plasmatron(НТУ «Дніпровська політехніка», 2019) Voloshyn, Oleksii I.; Potapchuk, Iryna Yu.; Zhevzhyk, Oleksandr V.; Yemelianenko, Volodymyr; Zhovtonoha, Mykola M.; Sekar, Manigandan; Dhunnoo, NishthaEN: Purpose. To study rock spallation dynamics in the process of the borehole thermal reaming and analyze energy consumption of the borehole thermal reaming process by plasma jets of the axial plasmatron. Methods. Field experimental study of rock spallation by plasma jets is carried out with the view to measuring the thermal power of plasma, weight of rock spalls and duration of plasma jets impact on the borehole. VT-200 scales were used to measure the rock spalls weight. In the experimental study, plasma jets flow out directly into the borehole in the granite block. The borehole and plasmatron nozzle parameters are geometrically similar. Findings. Experimental data are processed in the form of a table that shows the following parameters of individual experiments: duration of the borehole surface treatment by a plasma jet; thermal power of a plasma jet; heat release of a plasma jet, weight of the rock spalls, energy efficiency of the rock spallation process; productivity of the rock destruction. Experimental data are processed in the form of the dependence of energy consumption of the borehole thermal reaming on the duration of the borehole inner surface thermal treatment. The range of thermophysical and plasmodynamic parameters of the plasma torch that allow to achieve rock spallation is determined. Originality. The linear relationship between the energy consumption in the process of the borehole thermal reaming by low temperature plasma and the duration of the reaming process is revealed, with energy consumption of the reaming process decreasing dramatically with the increase in the process duration. Practical implications. Methodology of the experimental research into the borehole thermal reaming by plasma jets rock spallation is developed. The results of the study could be applied to borehole drilling processes.Item Mathematical Modeling of the Gas Dynamic Parameters of Impinging Heat-Transfer Medium Jet in Borehole Thermal Reaming Process(National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (NAS of Ukraine), 2019) Bulat, A. F.; Voloshyn, Oleksii I.; Potapchuk, Iryna Yu.; Yemelianenko, Volodymyr I.; Zhovtonoha, Mykola M.; Zhevzhyk, Oleksandr V.; Manigandan, S.EN: Introduction. As compared with other ways of thermal destruction of rocks, the rock destruction by low temperature plasma jet has advantage in terms of distribution of cracks in rock at a considerable depth, high heat transfer coefficient and high specific heat flux, simplified system of automation and remote control, and compactness of thermal tool. Problem Statement. Thus, the possibilities of analytical determination of optimal parameters of thermal effect on rocks are limited by solution of thermoelasticity equations and contact problems of strength theory. Such formulation of the problem is unacceptable due to complication of taking into account substantial changes in the physical and thermos-physical rock properties while heating and applying mechanical load. Due to abovementioned facts it is obviously necessary to develop a mathematical model that enables to define basic gas dynamic jet parameters of heat-transfer medium in the process of borehole thermal reaming. Purpose. The purpose of this research is to develop a mathematical model for calculating the gas dynamic characteristics (pressure, density, and velocity) of the heat-transfer medium while it is moving along the surface of the borehole in the thermal reaming process. Materials and Methods. Mathematical modeling of the flow process for free and impact jets of heat-transfer medium using a PC. Results. Experimental studies have confirmed adequacy of the developed mathematical model for calculation of gas dynamic characteristics (pressure, density, and velocity) of the heat-transfer while it is moving along the surface of the borehole in the process of its thermal reaming. Conclusions. The obtained results can be used for modeling the gas dynamic characteristics in the case of applying a thermal tool with electric discharge in other technologies of heat treatment and destruction of materials.Item Results of the Experimental Research of the Heat-Transfer Jet Pressure to the Rock Surface During Thermal Reaming of the Borehole(НТУ « Дніпровська політехніка», 2018) Voloshyn, Oleksii I.; Potapchuk, Iryna Yu.; Zhevzhyk, Oleksandr V.; Zhovtonoha, Mykola M.EN: Abstract. The performed analysis of scientific sources confirms the existence of a small number of publications devoted to the experimental research of the gasdynamics and plasmodynamics of jets used as a heattransfer medium in the thermal methods of mine rocks destruction. There are almost no experimental and theoretical publications related to the multiple-jet plasmotrons research. The expediency of own experimental researches performing has been substantiated concerning the lateral inflow of heat-transfer medium high-speed jets on the borehole surface. An experimental research has been made of the interaction between the heattransfer medium high-speed jets and the surface of the borehole imitated by the through duct. The further prospects of this work are the following: to determine the gas velocity along the lateral surface of the through duct and the value of the heating capacity coefficient from the heat-transfer medium to the lateral surface of the through duct, which imitates the rock surface in the borehole. These parameters are required for creating a mathematical model of the brittle destruction of rocks.Item Study of the Plasma Flow Interaction with the Borehole Surface in the Process of its Thermal Reaming(НТУ «Дніпровська політехніка», 2018) Voloshyn, Oleksii I.; Potapchuk, Iryna Yu.; Zhevzhyk, Oleksandr V.; Horiachkin, Vadym M.; Zhovtonoha, Mykola M.; Yemelianenko, V.; Semenenko, Yevhen; Tatarko, L.ENG: Purpose. Study of the plasma flow interaction with the borehole surface in the process of its thermal reaming for determination of transient temperature distribution along the borehole surface and the average coefficient of heat transfer from the plasma flow to the borehole surface. Methods. Experimental study of the plasma flow interaction with the flange union with internal lateral surface simulating the rock surface in a borehole has been carried out. The essence of the experimental study is in measuring temperature of the flange union external side while the plasma flowing inside the flange union. To measure temperature on the external surface of the flange union, a chromel-alumel thermocouple with thermoelectrodes of 1.2 mm in diameter was used. In experimental research, plasma flows out through a nozzle directly to the flange union made of copper. The parameters of the flange union and the nozzle of plasmatron are geometrically similar. Findings. Experimental data are processed as a relationship between the temperature of the copper flange union lateral surface, i.e. borehole surface, and the time of the copper flange union heating by the heat carrier. Experimental data are processed as a dependence of temperature of the tin pipe side surface, i.e. surface of the borehole, on the location of temperature measurement point along the tin pipe and the time of the tin pipe heating by the heat carrier. Originality. Physical simulation modeling of the heat carrier (low temperature plasma) flow interaction with the borehole surface simulated by the copper flange union and the tin pipe in a certain range of geometrical parameters of the copper flange union, tin pipe and the plasmatron nozzle as well as thermophysical properties of the heat carrier assumed in accordance with geometrical similarity to the technological and design parameters of the plasmatron and borehole diameter before the beginning of thermal reaming process. Practical implications. Methodology of experimental research of the heat carrier (low temperature plasma) flow interaction with the borehole surface that was simulated by the copper flange union of the tin pipe is developed. The results of the influence by high-temperature heat carrier jets on the processes of fragile rock destruction are rather useful in the borehole drilling processes.
