The Heat Transfer Coefficient (HTC) of dual-barrier well completionIn case of dual-barrier single-string completion with fluid (stagnant or moving) filling in the annulus (see Fig. 1) the HTC is defined by the following equation:
...

\frac{1}{ r_{ti} \, U} = \frac{1}{r_{ti} \, U_{ti}} + \frac{1}{r_{ti} \, U_t} +
\frac{1}{d_{ann} \, U_{ann}} +
\frac{1}{r_{ci} \, U_c} + \frac{1}{r_c \, U_{cem}} |
