Simulation and Experimental Investigation of the Permeability Reduction due to Asphaltene Deposition in Porous Media

An Experimental Investigation and Prediction of Asphaltene Deposition during Laminar Flow in the Pipes Using a Heat Transfer Approach

In this study, asphaltene deposition from crude oil has experimentally and theoretically been studied using a test loop and an accurate temperature monitoring during a laminar flow. The effects of oil velocity and surface temperature on the thickness of asphaltene deposition were investigated. The results show that asphaltene deposition thickness increases by increasing surface temperature. As ...

MODELING OF ASPHALTENE DEPOSITION IN PIPELINES

This paper is concerned with asphaltene deposition in fluid flowing through pipelines. Brownian diffusion and drag, gravitational, thermophoresis, buoyancy, and shear removal are considered as possible mechanisms in the asphaltene deposition process. The thermo-physical properties of the fluid were obtained from Iranian oil fields. A model was used in the pipeline deposition modeling to predict...

Investigation of Reversibility of Asphaltene Precipitation and Deposition for an Iranian Crude Oil

In this work, the precipitation and re-dissolution of asphaltenes were studied for an Iranian relatively heavy crude oil. A series of experiments were designed and carried out to quantitatively examine the reversibility of asphaltenes precipitation upon the change in the solvent concentration along with the temperature. n-Heptane was used as the precipitant, and a temperature range of 30 to...

Numerical Investigation of Shock Tube Flow under Rarefied Conditions

Two-dimensional Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) simulations are carried out for investigating the shock wave propagation and boundary layer effects in a shock tube flow, for a wide range of rarefied conditions. Nitrogen is used for all simulations. The Cercignani-Lampis-Lord (CLL) model of gas surface interactions is implemented to study the effects of boundary layer which develops behind ...
