(584p) Predicting the Properties of Petroleum Blends

The aim was to find new correlations to predict the properties of petroleum fractions blends. Several correlations for Viscosity, Smoke point, Freezing point, Reid vapor pressure, Aniline point and Cloud point were developed. These new correlations were assessed for their ability to predict the properties by comparing the estimated values with the experimental data as well as other correlations in literature. The developed correlations gave an absolute average deviation of 2.6 mm²/s for viscosity, 0.015 mm for smoke point,0.05K for freezing point, 6.47 kPa for RVP, 0.32 K for aniline point and 0.9 K for cloud point, respectively.
