Simon, R; Kelsey, F J

Part 2 of this series extends the network technique to all miscible displacement mobility ratios and introduces a heterogeneity factor called H. As a result, the network model can be used to study the general miscible displacement case, i.e., miscible displacements with all mobility ratios in linear or areal flow systems having a range of heterogeneities. Engineering charts are presented which show the relationship between recovery, mobility ratio, heterogeneity, and pore volumes injected. (12 refs.)
