Heat Transfer under a Flow of the Highly Viscous Crude Oil in a Buried Oil Pipeline

Abstract:

The paper presents a mathematical model and the results of numerical calculations of heat transfer processes during the flow of highly viscous crude oil in an oil pipeline. Comparison with literature data is performed. The samples of oil from the field of the Republic of Tatarstan (Russia) that are characterized by high viscosity were considered as crude oil. The influence of air temperature on the temperature distribution in the soil was investigated. The analysis of the distribution of crude oil temperature along the length of the pipeline was carried out.
