Abstract
   AbstractIt is essential to separate two immiscible liquids from gas to produce the light liquid, heavy liquid, and vapor phases. The separation of water from hydrocarbons is a practical example in the oil industry. For such separation in industry, three phase separator is used. In this study, different ...  Read More

Viscosity Reduction of Heavy Crude Oil by Dilution Methods: New Correlations for the Prediction of the Kinematic Viscosity of Blends

Saeed Mohammadi; Mohammad Amin Sobati; Mohammad Sadeghi

Volume 8, Issue 1 , January 2019, , Pages 60-77

https://doi.org/10.22050/ijogst.2018.97887.1405

Abstract
  Dilution is one of the various existing methods in reducing heavy crude oil viscosity. In this method, heavy crude oil is mixed with a solvent or lighter oil in order to achieve a certain viscosity. Thus, precise mixing rules are needed to estimate the viscosity of blend. In this work, new empirical ...  Read More
