Claim 0:
1. A multi-heat energy source core sample holder assembly for conducting experiment on a core sample in a laboratory, the multi-heat energy source core sample holder comprising:
a core sample holder having a cylindrical pressure chamber and a pair of disk-shaped flanges positioned along opposite ends of the cylindrical pressure chamber, the pair of disk-shaped flanges defining a first disk-shaped flange and a second disk-shaped flange, the first disk-shaped flange accommodating at least one fluid injection port, and the second disk-shaped flange accommodating at least one fluid discharge port;
a flexible sleeve arranged within and along the cylindrical pressure chamber to define more than one section to hold the core sample, and the flexible sleeve adapted to be securely sealed within the cylindrical pressure chamber to the pair of disk-shaped flanges and the core sample; and
a multi-heat energy generation source arrangement having:
a wire member coiled along an internal wall of the flexible sleeve,
more than one energy inlet port electrically coupled with the wire member to supply electric current along the wire member in at least one of a Direct Current (DC) form to produce an electric resistance heating, or an Alternate Current (AC) form to produce an electromagnetic heating, singularly or in combination, and
at least one circuit breaker member electrically coupled to the wire member and at least one energy inlet port to control the supply of electric current across more than one section within the flexible sleeve depending upon a length of the core sample for a given experiment, and
at least one elongated thermocouple member to monitor a temperature inside of the flexible sleeve.
