Investigate the Thermal Effects on Flow Resisting Properties of Hydrocarbons in a Pipeline [EXPERIMENT]

Pipelines are among the most important element in oil and gas industry and can be located on either onshore or offshore depending on the project requirements. Pipelines are either buried or placed on the ground (seabed for offshore applications) and can reach up to hundreds and thousands of kilomete...
