Effect of mixing time and temperature on the rheology of wateroil emulsion

الملخص EN

A study of temperature effect with a significant impact on rheology fluid, mixing time, and also volume fractions was carried out.

In this study, the w/o emulsions were prepared into three volume ratios (30-70%, 40-60% and 50-50% w/o) and at mixing time (5, 15 and 30 minutes) by using one type of crude oil (Kirkuk).

The w/o emulsions were stabilized, then characteristics were measured.

The effective viscosity of water-in-oil emulsions depends mainly on the volume fraction, mixing time and temperature, along with several minor effects, suchas shear rate, shear stress streamand viscosity of oil.
