The zinc oxide nano-particles have been used in this research. In this work, zinc oxide nanoparticles have been added to light and heavy crude oil. In this research, thermoelectric and physical properties of light and heavy crude petroleum have been measured, experimentally. In addition, dimensionless groups in hydrodynamics and heat transfer calculations are presented. This research illustrates that heat capacity of light and heavy crude petroleum varies from 4256 J/kg•˚C to 4457 J/kg•˚C and 4476 J/kg•˚C to 5002 J/kg•˚C, respectively. Moreover, heat capacity of light and heavy nano-crude petroleum is changing from about 4285 J/kg•˚C to 4496 J/kg•˚C and 4494 J/kg•˚C to 5021 J/kg•˚C, respectively.
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.
