A numerical study on the non-isothermal flow characteristics of superheated steam in ground pipelines and vertical wellbores

The results show that: (a). there exist a good agreement between predicted results and field data. (b). superheat degree increases with increasing of injection rate. (c). superheat degree increases with increasing of injection temperature. (d). superheat degree decreases with increasing of injection pressure. Consequently, practicing engineers are suggested to increase the injection rate and temperature and to decrease the injection pressure.
