Since the transportation task of China's Secondary Dong-Lin crude pipeline has been changed from Shengli oil to both Shengli and Oman oils, its transportation scheme had to be changed to "batch transportation". To determine the details of batch…
In the present work, a 3D numerical study has been performed to investigate the core-annular flow of waxy crude oil/water in inclined pipes with a gradual expansion. Waxy crudes are highly viscous crude oils that exhibit non-Newtonian flow behavior,…
Being dependent statistics, building energy consumption has accounted for 2/5 of the world's total energy consumption. The combination of phase change energy storage materials with floor radiant cooling and heating system has become one of the main…
The temperature drop of waxy crude oil after a shutdown is the basic premise for restarting relative mechanical calculation. However, computational accuracy has been paid much more attention excessively in the relevant techniques proposed in the…
Engineered nanofluids were designed to reduce oil viscosity and to restore wettability in heavy oil formations (Zabala et al. 2016). Incremental production rates, between 50% and 150%, were registered after injecting the nanofluids in 4 wells in two…
A real-time mathematical model for the two-dimensional temperature field of petroleum coke calcination in vertical shaft calciner was developed based on computational fluid dynamics. In the modeling process, the petroleum coke discharging process was…
The focus of the present work is to model the two-phase flow of oil and water in 2-D anisotropic petroleum reservoirs using a novel appropriate combination of a non-orthodox cell-centered Multipoint Flux Approximation with a Diamond Stencil (MPFA-D)…
In recent years, high-order methods for the discretization of the advection dominated saturation equation, and that results from the modelling of the 2D Oil-Water displacement through porous formations, have received renewed attention from the CFD…

Single and double-plate floating roof oil tanks are two types of widely used floating roof oil tanks in petrochemical industry. However, the differences in flow and hear transfer characteristics of waxy crude oil inside these two tanks have been…
