Considerations Regarding Rheological Behavior of Some Crude Oils

Abstract

The paper presents the experimental research results which the Romanian crude oils type B were subjected to. Tests conducted in laboratory environment aimed determination of crude oils rheological parameters and also identification of rheological behaviour models. Experiments, conducted at different temperatures, led to rheological behaviour models characteristic of non-Newtonian fluids. The established rheological relations help to better understanding of tested fluids so we can know either their behaviour or how we could impose their behaviour according to our needs.
