Prediction of the apparent viscosity of non-Newtonian water-in-crude oil emulsions

On the basis of the effective medium theory and the classical viscosity prediction model proposed by Pal et al, the apparent viscosity and rheological properties of the water in crude oil emulsion with natural surface active components such as asphaltene and resin are predicted. The adsorption and e...
