Rheology of structural oil disperse systems

Abstract

The problems of the rheology of oil disperse systems, which are accompanied by asphaltene particles being set into nanoaggregates and clusters of nanoaggregates and viscoelastic framework have been analyzed. The models of the coagulation of asphaltene particles and the calculation of the nanoaggregate size have been suggested. The conditions of the destruction of the structure have been considered and the rheological models of the filtration of oil disperse systems have been considered with the assumption of the Maxwell equation and model of the change of viscosity and mobility. The results have been compared with the experimental data.
