Effects of crude oil’s variable physical properties on temperature distribution in a shutdown pipeline

A partition method mathematical model was established for the shutdown process of an overhead pipe, and the effects of crude oil’s variable physical properties on the heat transfer performance were analyzed. The model and solving method were verified by the existing experimental data. The oil temper...
