Ultrasonic-assisted fast upgrading of heavy crude oil using novel nanofluids
Upgrading heavy crude oil is essential for enhancing its flow properties, refining efficiency, and economic value, especially given its high viscosity and elevated levels of sulfur and heavy metals. This study investigates the effectiveness of four kerosene-based nanofluids—containing alumina, zirco...
