The Effect of Nanometer Polysilicon Material on Properties of Wax-Diesel Oil Systems
The effect of nanometer polysilicon material (NMPM) on properties of wax-diesel oil systems was experimentally studied. The particle size distribution of NMPM-diesel oil, wax-diesel oil system and wax-NMPM-diesel oil system were measured by laser scattering method. The viscosity of wax-diesel oil system was compared with that of systems with NMPM addition. A new wax growth and dispersion model was built up to analyze the mechanism for wax solubility increasing and size changing. Experiments show that the solubility of wax increases with the increase of temperature and the NMPM concentration in the wax-diesel oil system. The average particle diameter of NMPM-wax-diesel oil system is larger than that of wax-diesel oil system. The viscosity of wax-diesel oil system decreases with the NMPM addition.
