DYNAMIC VISCOSITY AND COMPENSATION EFFECT IN HYDROCARBON MEDIA WITH A HIGH CONTENT OF RESINS AND PARAFFINS

Linear dependences have been obtained for multicomponent hydrocarbon media (oils and high-boiling fractions), which relate the preexponent and the activation energy of viscous fl ow in the Arrhenius equation. A distinctive feature of the established kinetic compensation effect is it existing before and after the phase-transition temperature. The obtained results have been confi rmed by statistical data and make it possible to predict the dynamic viscosity of multicomponent hydrocarbon systems, such as oil and high-boiling fractions.
