Abstract
  This study investigated the effect of ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) as an inhibitor on wax appearance temperature (WAT) of crude oil in the Iranian oil field using the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) method. The effect of EVA on the morphology of crude oil wax crystals was examined by a system ...  Read More

Abstract
  The influences of several operating factors on the viscosity of the Isfahan refinery waxy crude oil sample are studied through conducting some rheological shear rotational tests. The Taguchi design method is adopted to determine the impact of factors such as shear rate, temperature, cooling rate, wax ...  Read More
