A method was proposed and a complex of studies were run to improve the effectiveness of high viscosity crude oil transport using the hydrodynamic cavitation method. A cavitator design with a slot cylinder was offered based on the design hydraulic and thermodynamic parameters simulation results. The cost effectiveness of the cavitation method introduction for treatment of high viscosity crude oils at heating stations during transport is proved.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
