New Approaches to Simulation of Transformations at Bubble Cavitation in Petroleum Dispersive Systems

Abstract

An approximate mathematical model is proposed for the transformation of liquid hydrocarbons under the influenceof physicochemical phenomena occurring at the phase boundaries and during phase transitions under conditions of bubble cavitation excited by a source of ultrasonic vibrations. Practical applications of such effects can be alternative processes of industrial oil refining, technologies for increasing the yield of light distillates, intensification of the processing of heavy oil fractions and residues, petrochemical processes of oil refining.
