Stabilized flow rate of high-paraffin asphalt cement in cylindrical pipe

Abstract

The paper studies the flow rate of asphalt cement described by Herschel–Bulkley fluid in a cylindrical pipe. The dependence is suggested for the fluid flow rate and the pressure drop. It is found\xa0that with increasing content of paraffins and resins, the yield stress and consistency of the medium increase, thereby leading to a decrease in the flow rate parameters at a given pressure drop.
