Prediction of Surface Tension of Heavy Oil Based on Principle of Corresponding States Combined with Detailed Composition and Molecular Structure Analysis
Abstract:In this work, a new method of predicting the surface tension of heavy oils and its temperature dependence was developed. The surface tensions of five fractions and residue fractionated by the vacuum distillation of atmospheric residue (AR), and AR itself were predicted, based on a detailed composition and molecular structure analysis, i.e., "petroleomics". In this method, the chemical compositions and molecular structures of compounds included in the fractions and residue were identified by Fourier transform i… Show more
