represents the heating/cooling effect of the multiphase flow through the porous media. This effect is the most significant with light

represents the heating/cooling effect of the fast adiabatic pressure change. This usually takes effect in and around the wellbore during the first minutes or hours after changing the well flow regime (as a consequence of choke/pump operation). This effect is absent in stationary flow and negligible during the quasi-stationary flow and usually not modeled in conventional monthly-based flow simulations.
