It was investigated in this study the influence of
Carboxymethylcellolose (CMC) solution concentration,
temperature, and pH on the rheological properties according to the
shear stress as function of shear rate. Experimental results show that
shea
r stress increase at all operational conditions as the shear rate
increase. When the shear rate is constant, the shear stress increases
also with the increasing of both concentration and pH as well as the
decreasing of temperature.
This paper presents a study to reduction of heavy crude oil viscosity by
heating, where we select the best of temperature for all types instead of
constant temperature, whatever composition and viscosity of crude oil.
