In this paper, the effect of both rotation and magnetic field on peristaltic transport of Jeffery fluid through a porous medium in a channel are studied analytically and computed numerically. Mathematical modeling is carried out by utilizing long wavelength and low Reynolds number assumptions. Closed form expressions for the pressure gradient, pressure rise, stream function, velocity and shear stress on the channel walls have been computed numerically. Effects of Hartman number, time mean flow, wave amplitude, porosity and rotation on the pressure gradient, pressure rise, stream function, velocity and shear stress are discussed in detail and shown graphically. The results indicate that the effect of Hartman number, time mean flow, wave amplitude, porosity and rotation are very pronounced in the phenomena, when we change a Jeffery fluid to second order fluid we obtain the results of [1].

Producing Oil from Dead Oil Wells Using injected LPG
Dead oil well
injecting LPG
vertical two phase flow
LPG-oil-water mixture.
In order to reduce hydrostatic pressure in oil wells and produce oil from dead oil wells, laboratory rig was constructed, by injecting LPG through pipe containing mixture of two to one part of East Baghdad crude oil and water. The used pressure of injection was 2.0 bar, which results the hydrostatic pressure reduction around 246 to 222 mbar and flow rate of 34.5 liter/hr fluid (oil-water), at 220 cm injection depth. Effects of other operating parameters were also studied on the behavior of two phase flow and on the production of oil from dead oil wells.
