Numerical investigation on the melting characteristics of wax for the safe and energy-efficiency transportation of crude oil pipelines

Wax precipitation affects the normal transportation of crude oil pipeline. Wax is generally removed by hot washing. Reducing energy of hot washing is the key to the security and energy-saving operation. It is necessary to reveal the heat transfer characteristics of the process. The melting character...
