Experimental study of the effect of ultrasonic treatment on the rheological properties of oil and paraffin-containing oil

Abstract

This paper is devoted to studying the effect of ultrasound on the rheological properties of natural and synthetic oil. Experimental data were obtained using a rheometer Physica MCR 102 and a vibration viscometer SV-10. It has been established that with prolonged ultrasound exposure, the viscosity of the oil increases. It is shown that ultrasound leads to a change in the activation energy of a viscous flow of paraffin-containing oil. Moreover, not only the percentage of paraffin and the duration of treatment, but also the temperature depend on the processing efficiency. The obtained results can be used to improve the regime parameters of the impact on oil during its production, transportation and storage.
