A recent study used various gas oils and blends with residual heavy oils in order to evaluate the predictability of four different correlations. The gas oils differed substantially in their ...

Asphaltene often produces problems in upstream and downstream sections of crude oil transportation and processing equipment. These issues are directly related to the asphaltene precipitation in ...

Viscosity, or a fluid’s resistance to flow, is independent of the rate of shear or shear stress, at a given temperature, for Newtonian fluids. Non-Newtonian fluids such as polymer solutions often ...

Polymer flooding is among the most researched and utilized methods to improve oil recovery. Polymer solution viscosity is the primary governing parameter that aids in lowering the mobility of the ...

AMETEK Brookfield, the world standard for viscosity measurement and control, offers its Practical Course on Viscosity Measurements. This popular course was created to help AMETEK Brookfield Viscometer ...

A clinical viscosity diagnostic instrument is proving to be valuable in the research and treatment of coronavirus after laboratory scientists have identified its ability to provide meaningful data for ...

Viscosity parameters are crucial for a number of materials including fuels, lubricants, medicines, oils, and paints. Ensuring that a material substance possesses the right amount of viscosity allows ...

There is a strong link between what is called the weight-average molecular weight of a polymer and a parameter called the zero-shear viscosity. Although the correct link rather depends on the polymer, ...

Blood viscosity is a measurement of the thickness and stickiness of an individual’s blood. It is a direct measure of the ability of blood to flow through the blood vessels. It determines how much ...
