Viscosity is a critical fundamental property required in many applications in the chemical and
oil industries. In this review the performance of seven select viscosity models, representative …

Multi-solids fluidized bed (MSFB) is one particular type of fluidized bed with binary particles,
comprising a dense fluidized bed of coarse particles mixed with fine powder percolating …

Hydrocarbon production from shale has grown dramatically in North America, and has the
potential to do so globally. Nanoporous organic matter is probably the dominant mode of …

Asphaltene content plays an important role in determining the high viscosity of heavy oil.
This paper presents an experimental and theoretical study of the specific effects of …

Based on experimental viscosity data collected from the literature and using density data

Despite the recent increase in the number of works addressing the effect of water on the
thermophysical properties of ionic liquids (ILs), in particular densities and viscosities, the …

Seventeen mixing rules reported in the literature used for predicting kinematic viscosity of
petroleum and its fractions were examined for accuracy by comparing the estimated values …

Recently, biodiesel is receiving global attention as an alternative fuel for diesel engines
because of its many advantages compared to petroleum-based diesel fuel. Despite many …

The viscosity of bitumen is extremely high at ambient temperature and in order to produce
and transport the bitumen, it is necessary to reduce its viscosity. One of the methods to …

There is currently a growing interest in the area of drag reduction. In this work, the thermal
effects of body color of some species of aquatics like Orcas and Dusky dolphins are …
