Dimensionless injection rate of air for in-situ combustion

Input(s)

$i_{a}$: Injection Rate $\left(\mathrm{ft}^{3} / \mathrm{d}\right)$

L: Length Between Injector and Producer in Pattern $(\mathrm{ft})$

$\mathrm{h}$: Formation Thickness $(\mathrm{ft})$

$u_{\text {min }}$: Minimum Air Flux $(\mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{d})$

Output(s)

$i_{D}$: Dimensionless Air Injection Rate (dimensionless)

Formula(s)

$$ \mathrm{i}_{\mathrm{D}}=\frac{\mathrm{i}_{\mathrm{a}}}{\mathrm{L} * \mathrm{~h} * \mathrm{u}_{\min }} $$
