Ultrasonic Monitoring of the Water Content in Concentrated Water–Petroleum Emulsions Using the Slope of the Phase Spectrum

This work proposes the slope of the phase spectrum as a signal processing parameter for the ultrasonic monitoring of the water content of water-in-crude oil emulsions. Experimental measurements, with water volume fractions from 0 to 0.48 and test temperatures of 20 °C, 25 °C, and 30 °C, were carried...
