    Assessment of the heat either delivered from the high temperature rocks to the borehole or transmitted to the formation from the circulating fluid is of crucial importance for a number of technological processes related to borehole drilling or exploitation. Normally the temperature fields in the well and surrounding rocks are calculated numerically by the finite difference method or analytically, applying the Laplace-transform method. The obtained formulae are rather bulky and require tedious non-trivial numerical evaluations. Moreover, in the publications where the solution is obtained analytically heat interactions of circulating fluid and with formation was treated under condition of constant bore-face temperature. In the present study the temperature field in the formation disturbed by the heat flow from the borehole is modeled by the heat conduction equation and thermal interaction of the circulating fluid with formation is approximated by the Newton relationship on the bore-face. The problem is solved analytically by the heat balance integral method, where the radius of thermal influence, which defines the thermally disturbed domain, is function of time that can be found from the algebraic equation. Within this method the approximate solution of the heat conduction problem is sought in the form of a finite sum of functions which belong to a complete set of the linearly independent functions defined on the finite interval bounded by the radius of thermal influence and satisfy the homogeneous boundary condition on the bore-face. It can be proved theoretically that the approximate solution found by this method converges to the exact one. In the present study the first and the second order approximations are obtained. Numerical results illustrates that second approximation is in a quite good agreement with the exact solution. The only one shortcoming of this solution is that it depends on the radius of thermal influence, which is the implicit function or time determined by the algebraic equation. In order to eliminate this complication, in this study on the basis of the approximate solution the new approximate formulae for the radius of thermal influence, which asymptotically coincides with the implicit one, is proposed as l(Fo)&ap;1+A(Bi)√<Fo>, where Bi=h_wr_w/k_S, Fo=τD_S/(r_w)^2,τ is time D_S is heat diffusivity of the formation, r_w is radius of the borehole, k_S is heat conductivity of the formation, h_w is heat transfer coefficient on the bore-face. The behavior of parameter A versus Bi is found comparing the approximate solution with the exact one and employing the non-linear regression method. The latter leads to A(Bi)=(2.084+0.704Bi)/(1.554+0.407Bi). For the constant temperature on the bore-face the heat flux on the bore-face can be computed with an approximate formula q^^&acd;(Fo)&ap;1/{1+Biln[1+A(Bi)√<Fo>]}. The correctness of this approximate solution is validated by comparison with an exact analytical solution found by Carslaw and Jaeger. Due to the Duhamel theorem for the arbitrary temperature on the bore-face the heat flux and bore-face temperature can be presented respectively as q_w=T_L(z, Fo)+∫^^<Fo>__0T_L(z, p)∂/(∂Fo)q^^&acd;(Fo-p)dp and T|_<r=1>=-∫^^<Fo>__0T_L(z, p)∂/(∂Fo)q^^&acd;(r, Fo-p)dp , where T_L(z, Fo) accounts for the thermal history of the formation temperature and possible axial (along the vertical axis z) variation of generally unsteady temperature in the borehole.

    本研究では,身に付けて発電できるウェアラブル電源(発電機)の実用化と普及に向けての基礎データを提供することを目的としている。本年度は,Phase2:各発電システムにおける最も効率的かつ効果的な発電スタイルの提案とPhase3:ウェアラブル電源のビジネスモデル構築のための基礎資料の提示と発電機の試作を目指した。成果をまとめると以下の通りである。 (1)ウェアラブル発電機としては,人の歩行を利用する「靴型ジェネレータ」が最も有望であることを明らかにした。(2)ベーンモータの理論やベーンポンプに理論を組み合わせた靴型ジェネレータに適したベーンタービン理論を構築した。(3)構築した理論に基づき,2種類のベーンタービン(statorの形状が偏心型:1機,長円型:2機)の設計・製作を行った。(4)製作したベーンタービンの性能を評価するために,回転性能試験と発電量測定試験を行った。(5)タービンの回転数は,偏心型ベーンタービンの方が大きかった。(6)長円型ベーンタービンの流入流出に使われていないポートを管路で繋げることにより回転数が増加した。これは,流出入のないポートを繋げることで,繋がった2つのポート間で循環が起こり,流量が仮想的に増大したためであることを明らかにした。(7)偏心型ベーンタービンへ圧力0.39MPa,流量4.1L/minで流体を供給した場合,得られた発電量は最大で95mWであった。この時の発電効率は0.036%と小さいものであったが,これは,ベーンタービンに連結したモータがベーンタービンの回転特性と合致していなかったためであることが分かった。(8)本年度の研究成果を総合的に検証し,実用機の実現のための課題として,チャンバーの最適な材質の決定,ベーンタービンの小型化,タンク形状の最適化,逆止弁の改良,ステータ形状の最適化,最適なモータの選定,ベーンタービンのトルク-回転特性の把握,出力電力の安定化などが必要であるとした。

    本研究では、高温度地層掘削におけるビット寿命低下の原因となる、ビット内部温度上昇によるベアリング部の損傷について、地層からの熱だけでなくベアリング部で機械的負荷により発生する摩擦熱も考慮し、掘削条件-坑内温度-ビット寿命の関係を検討した。そのために、1.様々な機械的負荷条件(荷重-回転数条件)におけるビット内部の発熱量とビット表面と内部との温度差の関係、2.坑内温度(坑底における循環泥水温度)とビット表面温度の関係、3.0リングシールが晒される温度・時間とベアリングの熱損傷の関係、4.実坑井におけるビットの被温度履歴とビット使用時間およびベアリング損傷度の関係を考慮した。 1.と2.については、掘削時ビット環境模擬装置を用いて、比較的高負荷の場合においても、ジャーナルベアリング型のトリコーンビット内部の発熱量および温度の測定試験を行った。掘削条件とベアリング内部と表面との温度差との関係を検討した結果、これまでの実験結果から予想していたような、荷重と回転数の上昇とともにビット内部温度も上昇するという単純なものではなく、ベアリング特性数で整理されるストライベック線図で考えると流体潤滑ではなく境界潤滑の状態にあることが示唆された。 3.については、NBR製および耐熱性がよいHNBR製のOリングシールを用いた熱劣化試験(グリース浸透)を行い、被熱後のOリングの引張試験を行った。その結果、それぞれの材質のOリングシールが使用不可能になる(弾性が著しく失われる)温度と時間の関係を明らかにした。また、実坑井にて使用されたビットから取り出したOリングシールについても引張試験を行い、ベアリングの熱損傷によるビット寿命と被熱温度・時間の関係を調査した。また、4.については、近年掘削された実坑井(高温度井)の掘削日報、掘削報告、検層結果などのデータを用いて、坑井掘削中の坑内温度を数値シミュレーションによって解析した。

    1. Investigation on Fiber-cement-stabilized method (1), Several kinds of high water-content mud were sampled from several construction sites, and basic physical properties of the mud were investigated. Furthermore, optimum mixing rate of paper debris and chemical agents were examined. (2), Modified soils improved by the method proposed here were sampled from several locations of the mixing pool and the content of paper debris was measured by making the thin section. It was found that if the mixing and agitation was carried out fully and carefully, the unevenness of the paper debris was quite small. 2. Investigation on the durability of Fiber-cement-stabilized mud (1), It was confirmed through repeated cycle test for drying and wetting that the durability of the fiber-cement-stabilized mud was much higher than that of the cement-stabilized mud produced by the conventional method. (2), It was confirmed through repeated cycle test for freezing and thawing that the durability of the fiber-cement-stabilized mud was much higher than that of the cement-stabilized mud produced by the conventional method. 3. Study on utilization of the modified soils as lightweight landfill materials The theoretical equations to estimate the density and water content of the fiber-cement-stabilized mud were derived and the new recycling system was proposed. Furthermore, the trial calculation was carried out on the economic effect in the case that the fiber-cement-stabilized mud was used as landfill materials. In the result, it was confirmed that the reduction of the construction cost is possible. 4. Study on utilization of paper sludge The utilization of paper sludge as a substitute of paper debris was investigated. It was confirmed through the unconfined compression test and repeated cycle test for drying and wetting that the paper debris can be used as the substitute of paper debris. Moreover, it was confirmed that if the paper sludge is used instead of paper debris, large cost reduction is possible. 5. Estimation of the ability as vegetation soils The Fiber-cement-stabilized mud is lightweight, the utilization as vegetation soil on the rooftop will be possible. Therefore, water holding properties was examined. It was confirmed that the water holding properties of the fiber-cement-stabilized mud are much higher than the commercially produced artificial vegetation soils. Therefore, as the vegetation soils can be produced from the waste sludge, the construction cost of rooftop gardening is much reduced.

    In this research, a useful borehole simulator was developed to know borehole temperature and to select an optimum drilling condition while, drilling high-temperature formation. In addition, the adaptability of the simulator to high-temperature formation drilling was discussed, compared with field data. A special borehole simulator was developed. Using the simulator, you can simulate borehole condition corresponding to a series of work at drilling site. You can input various drilling parameters to the simulator, and can get the returned mud temperature, the bottomhole temperature, and so on. Some field data were selected to compare with simulated data. The field data were mud logging data, mud circulation test data and temperature recovery test data from a high-temperature oil well and a geothermal well. Results showed that simulated values relatively agreed with measured value from these test. This indicates that you can estimate borehole temperature to a certain extent while high temperature drilling. It was also suggested that properties of non-Newtonian fluid at high temperature was needed to be more clear in order to much accurate the simulator.
