A Method for Determination of Viscosity Characteristics of Oil-Water Emulsion System Considering Phase Separation Behavior

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for determining viscosity characteristics of an oil-water emulsification system by considering phase separation behaviors. The method comprises the following steps: 1, identifying phase inversion characteristics of the oil-water emulsification system; 2, establishing a relationship between the water content of the original homogeneous-state oil-water emulsification system and the dispersion phase and continuous phase holdup; 3, describing phase separation characteristic parameters of the oil-water emulsification system and constructing a mutual relation of thephase separation characteristic parameters; 4, oil-water emulsification system viscosity expression considering a phase separation behavior; and 5, determining the holdup and physical properties of each phase of the oil-water emulsification system under a phase separation state under a certain temperature mixed transportation condition. According to the method, the bottleneck that the oil-water emulsion is uniformly used as a homogeneous system for characterization is broken through. Based on possible different layering forms such as a free oil phase-homogeneous emulsion phase, a homogeneousemulsion phase-free water phase and a free oil phase-homogeneous emulsion phase-free water phase, mathematical expression suitable for describing the viscosity characteristics of the oil-water emulsification system under the conditions of different temperatures and different original water contents is effectively constructed.
