Influence of nonlinear viscosity of waxy crude oils on the thermohydraulic characterization of their flow in helical channels: Theory and experiment

Abstract

© 2020 IOP Publishing Ltd. All rights reserved. The authors looked into a matter of how the nonlinear viscosity of waxy crude oils has an effect on the thermohydraulic characterization of their flow in helical symmetry channels. The consideration was given to the energy equation in a helical coordinate system followed by theoretical and experimental values.
