Viscosity reduction of extra heavy crude oil by magnetite nanoparticle-based ferrofluids
The main objective of this work is to synthesize and evaluate magnetite (Fe 3 O 4 ) nanoparticle-based ferrofluids for reducing the viscosity of an extra heavy crude oil. The carrier fluid of the nanoparticles was synthesized using an engine lubricant recycled from the automotive industry and hexade...
