Effect of bulk temperature on formation of crude oil fouling precursors on heat transfer surfaces
Temperature plays a very important role in the formation of fouling precursors in crude oils which is considered to be the first step before the precursors are either attached to the wall as a deposit or transferred back to the bulk fluid by diffusion. In order to investigate the formation character...
