Gel strength - Solid control efficiency

Input(s)

$\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{r}}$: Fraction of the Solids Removed (unitless)

$\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{h}}$: Hole Volume (BBL)

$\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{d}}$: Volume of Solids Discarded (BBL)

Output(s)

$\left(\eta_{\mathrm{s}}\right)$ ce: Solid Control Efficiency (fraction)

Formula(s)

$$ \left(\eta_{\mathrm{s}}\right) c e=\left(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{r}}\right) * \frac{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{d}}}{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{h}}} $$
