Investigating oil mixture flow characterization

In this research the high viscosity of crude oil exerts high turbulences creates the resistance (drag) and lower the mobility and flow of the crude oil. Thus, more power is needed to transport the fluid. This research is to investigate oil mixture performance when addictives are introduced into the...
