| Abstract | The flow behavior of the crude oil droplet motion within different aqueous solutions was studied in terms of several parameters. These parameters are the effect of surface active material, salt concentration, and polymer concentration. The crude oil droplet motion under low Reynolds number was investigated in terms of rising velocity, steady shapes, and dimensionless geometric parameters. Different Newtonian and Non-Newtonian aqueous solutions were used as continuous phase. The droplets motion due to buoyancy effects was examined in a capillary tube positioned vertically. The mobility of the crude oil droplet and the steady shape deformation are influenced by the presence of the surfactant which, in turn, affects surface tension of the droplets. Presence of salt in the continuous phase also affects the crude oil droplet shape. |
