  2. Gas lift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_lift

    The gas-lift mandrel is a device installed in the tubing string of a gas-lift well onto which or into which a gas-lift valve is fitted. There are two common types of mandrels. In a conventional gas-lift mandrel, a gas-lift valve is installed as the tubing is placed in the well. Thus, to replace or repair the valve, the tubing string must be pulled.

  3. Funnel plot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funnel_plot

    It is used primarily as a visual aid for detecting bias or systematic heterogeneity. A symmetric inverted funnel shape arises from a ‘well-behaved’ data set, in which publication bias is unlikely. An asymmetric funnel indicates a relationship between treatment effect estimate and study precision.

  4. Bootstrapping (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrapping_(statistics)

    In bootstrap-resamples, the 'population' is in fact the sample, and this is known; hence the quality of inference of the 'true' sample from resampled data (resampled → sample) is measurable. More formally, the bootstrap works by treating inference of the true probability distribution J , given the original data, as being analogous to an ...

  5. Completion (oil and gas wells) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Completion_(oil_and_gas_wells)

    Gas lift well: gas is fed into valves installed in mandrels in the tubing strip. The hydrostatic head is lowered and the fluid is gas lifted to the surface. Single-well alternate completions: in this instance there is a well with two zones. In order to produce from both the zones are isolated with packers.

  6. Airlift pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airlift_pump

    Airlifts are used to collect fauna samples from sediment. [2] Airlifts can oversample zooplankton and meiofauna but undersample animals that exhibit an escape response. [2] In an aquarium an airlift pump is sometimes used to pump water to a filter. In a coffee percolator the airlift principle is used to circulate the coffee.

  7. Surrogate model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrogate_model

    Most engineering design problems require experiments and/or simulations to evaluate design objective and constraint functions as a function of design variables. For example, in order to find the optimal airfoil shape for an aircraft wing, an engineer simulates the airflow around the wing for different shape variables (e.g., length, curvature ...

  8. Decision-matrix method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decision-matrix_method

    The advantage of the decision-making matrix is that it encourages self-reflection amongst the members of a design team to analyze each candidate with a minimized bias (for team members can be biased towards certain designs, such as their own). Another advantage of this method is that sensitivity studies can be performed.

  9. XFOIL - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFOIL

    XFOIL is an interactive program for the design and analysis of subsonic isolated airfoils.Given the coordinates specifying the shape of a 2D airfoil, Reynolds and Mach numbers, XFOIL can calculate the pressure distribution on the airfoil and hence lift and drag characteristics.
