Viscosities of crude oil solutions from 0.1 to 1.0% (v/v) have been studied in 1,4-Dioxan as a solvent at temperature ranging from 293 to 313 K. Huggins, Kraemer, Martin, and Schulz-Blaschke relations were used by viscosity data to evaluate intrinsic viscosities and viscometric constant values. Degree of viscosity reduction (DVR) was also calculated. The size of the isolated molecule was evaluated in terms of intrinsic viscosity and shows that interactions between solute and solvent decrease with the rise in temperature. |
