Numerical Study on the Effect of Wax Deposition on the Restart Process of a Waxy Crude Oil Pipeline
A new model for wax deposition is established based on the loop tests data of 9 typical crude oils in conjunction with the concept of the effective wax precipitation which occurs in the heat boundary layer in the pipeline. The thickness of the wax deposition of a waxy oil pipeline is predicted by th...
