Viscosity of the oil-water mixture in HYSYS
Thread Content
After mixing oil and water using HYSYS, the water content is between 70-90%, and the viscosity of the mixture differs significantly from the actual value; it is close to that of water. I’m not sure if this can be adjusted The viscosity of crude oil (water-free) is very close to the viscosity measured in actual tests
The Hysys software simulates the viscosity of water-containing crude oil, with a viscosity transition point around 50% (w) water content. However, in actual water-containing crude oil, this viscosity transition point shifts to between 55% and 65% depending on the degree of emulsification. Therefore, to improve the accuracy of the simulation, experimental data must be used to replace the program’s default calculation methods. (Using Hysys’ Tabular regression system)
What are the specific steps for 2# Model01? Could you give a general overview?»
Does anyone know the reason? How can it be fixed?
