The physical parameters of hydrocarbons

This video explains the physical properties of hydrocarbons including their response to heat and their flow properties. The flow properties of crude oil like viscosity, wax point and pour points are very important parameters when setting a heating temperature for crude oils in the pipeline. As we know that Uganda crude oil is waxy and at room temperature appears like shoe polish (kiwi). A suitable study must be done to analyze this effect and how it will be costly to the country as a whole in terms of profits from oil exploitation.
