Guys, I know this is not probably a typical question, but it is a good place to try...
So, I don't know if you are familiar with gas lift used in oil industry, So I'll try to explain it in few sentences so you could get a better perspective of a problem. When oil reservoir pressure is not sufficient to bring oil through pipe up to the surface, sometimes gas lift is used. Its literally pumping gas in to the pipe, and by that you can reduce the density of oil (cause gas is lighter obvsly) and help the reservoir pressure bring the oil up on the surface. On the faculty, students made a model of gas lift with fiberglass pipes simulating the steel pipes in wellbore, and centrifugal pump in a barrel
simulating the reservoir. The pipe goes vertically upstairs about 20 feet in length. I wanna know is there some kind of paint that can be put in a clear distilled water that we are currently using, so that the fluid running through the pipe would be more visible and more cool haha. Conditions that need to be satisfied are: The colored water should not leave color residue on fiberglass pipes, it should not mess with the centrifugal pump's normal work, and if possible it should not leave residue on rubber pipes which are used for returning the fluid from the top back to the plastic barell. I asked here because I was wondering if color used for computer water cooling could be used maybe?
Hope I made myself clear, sorry for the English...
Thanks!
