Toms effect in direct crude oil emulsions as influenced by the stream velocity and concentration of anionic copolymers of acrylamide

The major relationships in the Toms effect in direct crude oil emulsions differing in the dispersed phase concentration were studied on a modified turbulent rheometer with anionic copolymer of acrylamide as the polymer additive. The Toms effect was studied as influenced by the polymeric additive concentration and shear stress.
