Simulation Overall Heat Transfer Coefficient in Surface Pipeline System

Flow assurance issues are critical and difficult problem in oil and gas industry especially in estimating and predicting the wax formation as well as its physicochemical characteristics. Wax deposition occurs as the fluid heat can be rapidly lost to the surrounding if there is no thermal insulation...
