TRANSFER OF THICK HYDROCARBON FLUIDS VIA PIPELINE

摘要

FIELD: transport.SUBSTANCE: claimed process aims at transfer of thick hydrocarbon fluids via pipeline. This process consists in prevention of freezing of said fluids caused by decrease in thickness owing to heating. Note here that heating of transferred fluids is effected by transfer rate whereat the following terms are complied with: W?W, where Wis heat released at fluid friction, Wis heat losses at transfer of fluids.EFFECT: higher efficiency of transfer.
