Overview

Observational analysis of viscosity in oil sludge and crude oils indicates non-newtonian behavior, highlighting the impact of temperature on flow properties.

Key Points

  • The flow behavior of oil sludge and crude oils reveals that all samples exhibit non-newtonian shear-thinning characteristics.
  • Viscosity and shear stress decrease with rising temperatures, indicating thermal disruption effects on intermolecular forces.
  • Model fitting shows that the Herschel-Bulkley model effectively describes the sludge’s rheology compared to the Casson model for crude oils.
  • Temperature sensitivity analysis finds that crude oils have a higher viscosity reduction compared to sludge, especially crude 1.
