KINEMATIC VISCOSITY OF MECHANICALLY EMULSIFIED A-HE AVY OIL

摘要

Kinematic viscosity of the emulsified A-heavy oil, produced mechanically by a gear pump type mechanical emulsifier, was examined. The effects of some conditions for emulsification; the temperature, the content of water and the revolution of driving gear of the emulsifier, on the kinematic viscosity were studied experimentally. The present study revealed some important dependence of the kinematic viscosity on the running conditions of the gear pump type mechanical emulsifier. The kinematic viscosity increases with increases in the water content and in the gear revolution, but decreases with increase in the temperature of emulsion.
