Hello all, I am trying to calculate the inside heat transfer coefficient for a 4 in diameter pipe transporting an crude oil/water mixture. The crude oil is API 20° and two mixtures are to be analyzed, one for a 50% water cut and the other for a 70% water cut. I don't know how to determine the viscosity and thermal properties of the mixture.

Please help. Thanks!

Hi Fed.

My suggestion is you use the worst case scenario either 100% crude or 100% water. I believe the difference is small & reasonably acceptable.
