Background of the Study The clogging of household pipelines due to oil-water emulsions is a tangible real-world problem, affecting the daily lives of individuals by disrupting essential water flow in homes and necessitating practical solutions for maintenance and prevention. This study aims to explore the factors that contribute to the formation of oil-water emulsions. It specifically focuses on the effects of temperature variations (both hot and cold), viscosity, and density in clogging of pipeline. Oil-water emulsions causing clogs in household pipelines pose a major obstacle in residential plumbing systems, negatively affecting the smooth and dependable flow of water in homes. This phenomenon occurs when pipelines become obstructed or blocked due to the presence of stable mixtures of oil and water, causing a range of operational problems. Various factors lead to the occurrence of clogging in household pipelines resulting from oil-water emulsions. The water content is a crucial factor that influences the stability and characteristics of the emulsion, as it represents the ratio of water to oil. The dynamics of emulsion formation and subsequent pipeline clogging are influenced by temperature variations within the plumbing system, which include both hot and cold conditions. It is essential to ensure the seamless operating of household pipelines by effectively managing and preventing the clogging caused by oil-water emulsions. Having a consistent water flow is crucial for everyday tasks, and any interruption can cause inconvenience and higher expenses for maintenance. Therefore, it is essential to gain a comprehensive understanding of the factors and mechanisms that contribute to pipeline clogging in order to effectively implement proactive measures and targeted 1 interventions. This research aims to thoroughly examine these factors, offering valuable insights about clogging problems in residential plumbing systems. 1.2.

How does temperature variation, ranging from hot and cold, influence the formation and stability of oil-water emulsion? What is the impact of temperature-induced variations on the viscosity of oilwater emulsion in pipelines, and how do these viscosity changes contribute to potential clogging or flow-related issues? 1.3. Research Objectives This study aims to investigate the issue of clogging in household pipelines resulting from oil-water emulsions. The study seeks to gain insights into the specific conditions and factors that contribute to the formation of these emulsions within household plumbing systems. The research aims to understand how certain factors, such as temperature (hot and cold), viscosity,density can affect the clogging of household pipelines. The main objective is to gain a deeper understanding about clogging problems in residential plumbing systems caused by oil-water emulsions. 1.4.

This research provides government agencies with an important academic foundation for informing laws, regulations, and response plans for sectors that handle oil-water mixes. Its consequences include environmental preservation, safety, and efforts to manage resources in a sustainable manner. 1.5. Scope and Limitations Scope The research scope focuses on comprehending the clogging of residential pipes caused by oil-water emulsions, with a specific concentration on investigating the influence of viscosity variations in both hot and cold temperatures. Limitation The research may be limited by variations in household plumbing, which can differ in design and materials. The study seeks to examine the correlation between temperature variations and the viscosity of emulsions, which may result in possible issues in pipelines. This involves investigating variables such as viscosity, density 3 and fluid flow rates, and the general effectiveness of residential plumbing systems under varying temperature conditions. The study will not be able to test conditions where there are occurring changes in temperature and concentrations of emulsion and limited only to situations where the variables are at constant. The study will not be able to consider other factors affecting density and viscosity such as pressure and only considers temperature and level of concentration. 1.6 Definition of Terms Emulsion. Emulsions are colloidal systems where one liquid phase, which is not soluble in another liquid phase, is dispersed as minute droplets throughout the second liquid phase. Emulsifying agents are commonly used to stabilize these droplets, preventing them from merging together and ensuring the mixture remains stable. Emulsions can exist in many configurations, such as oil-in-water or water-inoil, depending on the unique liquids and system conditions. Viscosity. Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to deformation or flow. It quantifies the internal friction within the fluid as it moves. High viscosity indicates a thick, resistant flow, while low viscosity denotes a thinner, more easily flowing substance. Fluid resistance. It is often referred to as drag or fluid friction, is the force that opposes the motion of an object through a fluid. It arises due to the interaction between the object's surface and the molecules of the surrounding fluid (Batchelor, 2016). 4 Chapter 2 Review of Related Literature It is common knowledge that oil and water do not mix. When putting both liquids in the same container, it is noticeable that the oil always rises up and stays at the top of the water. This is the expected outcome even if oil was put first before the water. Closing the container and shaking it to mix the liquids also do not work. The color might change for a short moment, but after letting it rest for seconds, it is observable that the liquid slowly separates, the oil goes up at the top and the water sinks at the bottom. These phenomena can be explained with science. Oil and water have a different molecular structure, it has something to do with the polarity of their molecules. Water with a chemical symbol H2O has a polar hydrogen bond which causes its particles to reject bonding with a nonpolar molecule like what oils have. On the other hand, the reason why oil rises up above while water rests at the bottom is the distinction of the two liquids in terms of density property. Now that a sound and comprehensible explanation was given, it will be easy to accept that oil and water will never mix. However, it might be a surprise to find out that the two liquids can actually be combined. This is where the process of emulsion can be used. In this chapter, the aim is to explore existing studies that have dealt with the problems aligned with the objectives of this research such as understanding the effect of temperature to viscosity and its relationship between the variation in concentration of oil-water emulsion. 2.1. Research Questions ● What is emulsion? ● How does temperature affect viscosity of oil-water emulsion? ● How does the difference in concentration between oil and water affect viscosity? ● Why is it important to know the effects of temperature and concentration to viscosity? ● What are the applications of emulsified liquids in reality? 5 2.2. Local Investigating the effect of different molecular weights of polyethylene glycol (PEG) on the viscosity of the continuous phase in oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions using fluorescence microscopy and emulsion tracking technique Hannah A. Yuson The most basic examples of heterogeneous liquids that don't typically mix are water and oil. Yet, they can be combined to create a homogenous combination under the right circumstances. An emulsion is a mixture of two immiscible liquids in which a discrete volume of one component is distributed into the continuous phase of the other component. The dispersed phase of an oil-in-water emulsion is the oil, and the continuous phase, or dispersion medium is the water. An emulsifier is needed to lower the emulsion droplet sizes and improve emulsion stability, which is caused by the presence of an interfacial barrier that inhibits the dispersed water droplets from coalescing, in order to generate stable emulsions. Emulsion droplets may experience phase separation and other thermodynamic and breakdown processes during storage, such as creaming. Emulsifier additions may cause these processes to take longer. This study looked at the impact of using different molecular weights of the hydrophilic linear polymer polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a co-emulsifier in the continuous phase of an O/W emulsion. (Yuson H., 2023) Method An “emulsion tracking algorithm and fluorescence microscopy” are used for measuring the diffusibility and viscosity of individual droplets in the continuous phase. Emulsion tracking sheds light on the system's local mechanical behavior. With the help of this innovative method, the physicochemical characteristics of emulsion are better understood. (Yuson H., 2023) 6 Result PEG viscosities of 500 000 (PEG 0.5M), 2 000 000 (PEG 2M), and 4 000 000 (PEG 4M) were applied to the oil-in-water droplets. There is a noticeable outcome during the experiment even if the selected PEG molecular weights do not have a consistent relationship. By monitoring the emulsion droplets, the results demonstrate how altering the continuous phase's properties affects the phase's viscosity. An emulsion tracking algorithm and fluorescence microscopy were used to develop a novel method for measuring the diffusibility and viscosity of individual droplets in the continuous phase. Emulsion tracking shed light on the system's local mechanical behavior. The continuous phase becomes more viscous in higher molecular weight PEG solutions, which reduces the diffusibility of the droplets, according to the results. The droplets in the O/W emulsion with PEG 4.0M showed the least diffusibility. The scattered droplets in this emulsion travel more slowly because of the continuous phase, which functions as a "slow" fluid. By calculating the mean squared displacements of the droplets, the diffusibility was reported. (Yuson H., 2023) Development and physico-chemical characterization of virgin coconut oil-inwater emulsion using polymerized whey protein as emulsifier for Vitamin A delivery Erin Jasse Tanglao, Arun Bryan Nanda Kumar, Ronald Ryan Noriega, Mark Emile Punzalan, and Philipina Marcelo Emulsion systems have become an essential component of food production. During the process of transporting goods, sensitive lipophilic nutrients like Vitamin A are carried on vehicles for delivery. As a result, it is critical to produce emulsions that are stable enough to protect essential nutrients. To encapsulate Vitamin A, a virgin coconut oil (VCO)-in-water emulsion was created with polymerized whey protein as an emulsifier, with VCO droplets scattered in the water phase and Vitamin A dissolved in the oil phase. The study's goal was to create a VCO-in-water emulsion to encapsulate and preserve Vitamin A in the form of retinyl acetate, as well as to determine the emulsion's physicochemical properties. (Kumar et al., 2018) 7 Three emulsions were created at varied homogenization speeds: 720, 846.7, and 955.8 rpm, to test the stability of the emulsion in encapsulating Vitamin A. The emulsion formed at 846.7 rpm has the finest visual features, equivalent to dairy butter. Thermal analyses using a differential scanning calorimeter revealed that the emulsion increased the energy required to degrade Vitamin A at simulated stomach pH, and microscopy results revealed that the emulsion has an average particle diameter of about 10 m, which remained stable in the acidic environment of simulated digestion. As a result, the emulsion is thermodynamically stable and exhibits little coalescence. (Kumar et al., 2018) Most of the main chemical industries make extensive use of emulsions. It is used in the pharmaceutical industry to make medications more pleasant and to increase overall efficacy by adjusting the amount of active chemicals. They are also used to improve the appearance of topical medications like ointments. Out of many significance of emulsifying oil-water, the study presented a solid attestation of its use. 2.3. Foreign Numerical and Experimental Study of the Impact of Temperature on Relative in an Oil and Water System Yukubu Balogun Relative permeability is affected by several flow parameters, predominantly operating temperature and fluid viscosity. Fluid viscosity changes with temperature, which correspondingly affects the relative permeability. Temperature is believed to have considerable effect on oil-water relative permeability, thus a vital input parameter in petroleum reservoir development modeling. The actual effect of temperature on oilwater relative permeability curves has been a subject of debate within the scientific community. The experimental and numerical approaches used in the literature to determine the influence of temperature on oil-water relative permeability. This study looks at how temperature affects multiphase flow mechanics in porous media at different 8 temperatures. A pore-scale analysis of the temperature effect on oil recovery factor under water and oil conditions was conducted using computational fluid dynamics technique. A series of core flooding experiments were carried out with well sorted unconsolidated silica sand packs to investigate oil-water relative permeability using the unsteady-state relative permeability method. The studies were carried at various temperatures ranging (40 to 80 degrees celsius). The investigation employed three injection flow rates (0.5-0.75 and 1.0mL/min) and two oil viscosities (43 cP motor and 25 cP mineral oil- at 60 degree celsius). The outcomes of all the experiment results demonstrated that the oil-water relative permeability is a function of temperature, water injection flow rate, and oil viscosity are all factors to consider. Furthermore, the experimental results reveal that the residual oil saturation as the injection flow rate increases, and the viscous fluid becomes more viscous at the water-relative endpoint. Permeability varies slightly across the collection of trials, with greater values for under same flow rate conditions, the less viscous oil. In general, the oil profile and water relative permeability curves change when oil viscosity and water temperature change. At the same operational conditions, the injection flow rate is the same. This behavior demonstrates that when choosing displacement, oil viscosity is an important thing to consider. Flow rate ensures maximum oil production. In addition, an increase in temperature outcomes as well as increase in the relative permeability of both oil and water. According to (Mohammadmoradi, 2016) a knowledge of the heat transfer mechanics in a porous medium is needed for accurate operation of thermal enhanced oil recovery methods. Thermal enhanced oil recovery mainly involves changing the reservoir makeup or rock fluid properties due to operating thermal gradients. An effective transfer of heat aids fluid viscosity reduction, fluid mobility and ultimate recovery. Two core parameters used to ascertain how efficiently thermal energy can be transported in a porous medium are the effective thermal conductivity (ETC) and effective thermal diffusivity (ETD). In a porous medium, factors such as morphology, porosity, and fluid saturation generally affect the effective thermal conductivity. Several research efforts have been made to predict the thermal properties of porous media via experimental, theoretical, and numerical or through a coupling effort both (Arthur, 2015). 9 Effect of Oil Viscosity on the Flow Structure and Pressure Gradient in Horizontal Oil-Water Flow N. Yusuf a, Y. Al-Wahaibia, T. Al-Wahaibi a, A. Al-Ajmi a.,A.S. Olawale b, I.A Mohammed b When an oil-water mixture flows in a channel at the same time, two fluids can arrange themselves in a variety of configurations that are mostly determined by the physical properties of the fluids and the operational conditions. For instance, differences between two liquids with high-density differences are likely to differ from those two liquids with modest or identical density variations in flow configurations. The flow pattern and pressure of the experimental set-up were carried out at the depicted liquid-liquid flow. The parameters of oil and water as test fluids. Each fluid moved from its storage tank to the test portion via a pump. The liquid phase was permitted to enter from the bottom, while the oil joined from the top in order to limit the effect mixing. Two flow meters with a maximum capacity of 20,000 I/h and a maximum flow rate of 30 I/min were linked to each of the regulated flow lines (water and oil) via pin. The flow meters were calibrated with the fluids to a full-scale accuracy of 0.5%. The mixture is reintroduced via a PVC pipe connected to a separator tank, allowing the two phases to separate. The flow patterns and transitions between them were identified using a high speed camera (Fastec Troubleshooter) and ocular observation. The camera was placed 6.5 meters away from the first 8 meters to the test area. As early examination revealed, the flow is completely formed at this point. The images were transferred and processed using MiDAS 4.0 express software. In the test segment, a pressure gradient experiment was carried out by measuring the pressure drop between two points 1m apart along the flow line 7m from the entry point. A Dywer 490 digital differential manometer was used to measure the pressure drop. One of the major findings, which is related to differences in oil viscosity. At increasing oil velocities, the disparities between the results become more pronounced. The greatest pressure differential was noticed in the flow zone where oil is in the continuous plane. On the contrary, the pressure gradient values recorded at the same conditions for dispersed oil in water (Do/w) are almost the same. In this environment,a simple correlation was created to predict the pressure gradient. New experimental data was 10 used to validate the correlation. Finally, using a two-flow model for stratified flow and the homogenous model for oil dispersed in water,the influence of oil viscosity on pressure gradient prediction was explored. Both models performed better when predicting low oil viscosities. The effect of oil viscosity on pressure gradient was also investigated by comparing the results with (Angeli and Hewitt, 1998) and (Chakrabarti et al, 2005), observed dispersed flow patterns. Compared to this study, early formation of Do/w was noticed in both works which may be attributed to the lower oil viscosity implemented in both studies. For the Do/w. This is likely due to the entry condition of the fluids. (Raj et al, 2005) introduced their fluids through a mixer comprising two concentric pipes with the oil introduced through the annulus and water through the tube. This method prevented lateral mixing of the two fluids near the entry point. On the other hand, (Angeli and Hewitt, 2000) used a T-junction with a 90 degrees elbow immediately downstream and before the test section to introduce their fluid into the test section. This increased the possibility of lateral mixing of the fluids at the entry point, hence causing an early transition. Emulsification of Indian heavy crude oil in water for its efficient transportation through offshore pipelines Shailesh Kumar, Vikas Mahto The emulsification of heavy crude oil is the most cost-effective method of transporting heavy crude oil through offshore pipelines. In this study, different oil in water (O/W) emulsions were created. Tetramethylbutyl phenyl-polyethylene glycol was synthesized from Indian heavy crude oil. To disperse crude oil in the water phase, ultrasonic waves with a frequency of 26 kHz were generated by Hielscher UP200Ht ultrasonic homogenizer. The physicochemical properties of heavy crude oil was determined using petroleum industry standard procedures, FTIR was used to examine the functional groups in crude oil. 11 Heavy crude oils are often generated in the form of stable crude oils, (Dicharry et al. 2006) developed water in oil (o/w) emulsions. This crude oil was processed before additional trials. Using a commercial solvent, eliminate water to obtain pure oil. PEG 200 is a demulsifier. The crude oil was first heated to 65 degrees celsius about 15 minutes to allow the links between wax crystals to break. Crude oil was treated by adding 2% (v/v) PEG 200, 4 hours of heating with stirring, followed by 4 hours of heating without stirring and 1 hour of stirring. Water was later separated utilizing pure heavy crude oil (HCO) was collected through a funnel for further processing studies. HCO’s gravity was estimated using the basis of specific gravity at 15 C. The crude density A pycnometer (ASTM D1480-15, 2015) was used to measure the oil. The primary goal of preparing o/w emulsion is to improve the ability of crude oil to flow through offshore pipes. In order to examine the flow characteristics of HCO and its numerous inlets US 200 software-assisted physica rheometer for water emulsions. The Anton Par model MC-1 was utilized. This rheometer has two operational test modes, one of which is universal. A controlled rate (CR) mode and a controlled stress (CS) mode are available. The rheometer has a cone-plate, parallel plate, and Bobcylinder systems with temperature control. Cone plate system with a cone angle of 1 and a cone diameter of 35mm. The crude oil was measured using a 0.05mm gap at the cone tip, bob cylinder to assess prepared emulsions rheology (25 C) and rheology (at various temperatures). For emulsion I and II, parallel plate shape, 35mm diameter with a spacing of 0.5mm was chosen.The zetasizer system examines the Brownian motion, real time particle motion and scattering measurements. It also links the intensity of light with an applied previously established light scattering theory to provide droplet size distribution. System testing duration was reduced to 10 seconds to avoid coalescence during measurement. To evaluate the stability of oil created o/w emulsions, 10mL of emulsion samples were transferred to a separate container, after the graded 15mL cone-shaped glass tube, the process of homogenization. The emulsion stability has been investigated using the following equation; % Emulsion stability = (1 − Volume of separated water (ml) / Total volume of water (ml) )× 100. (Deshmukh and Bharambe, 2008) and development of heavy crude oil emulsion in water (Ashrafizadeh and Kamran, 2010; Hasan et al., 2010). Due to the high viscosity and high wax content of the heavy crude, diluents are not much effective as large 12 proportions of diluents are required and requires a costly return line as well. For heavy crudes, especially with high asphaltic content, very large amounts of PPDs are required. Also the dosing of PPDs at particular length intervals is necessary in pipelines of very large length. With the use of suitable surfactant, heavy crude oil as stable and concentrated o/w emulsion can be most effectively transported over a large distance (Titus, 1973). Many authors previously have demonstrated the application of this method to transport heavy crude oils through pipelines from different oil fields (Guevara et al., 1997, Lamb and Simpson, 1963, Stockwell et al., 1988). In the emulsification method, droplets of oil phase are dispersed in the water phase with the aid of suitable surfactant/s to form a stable o/w emulsion. The formation of an emulsion thereby significantly decreases pour point as well as viscosity of crude oil. Because of the water being the continuous phase, chances of wax deposition at pipe surface, clogging of pipeline and corrosion of pipeline are greatly avoided. For petroleum industries, it is always a priority to optimize the economy of the transportation process. Considering the maximized profitability and cost effectiveness, it is relevant to minimize the viscosity of crude oil but keep the oil content maximum at the same time (Abdurahman et al., 2012, Ahmed et al., 1999). For the efficient transportation of heavy crude oil, stable o/w emulsion should be prepared so that water should not be separated before reaching the desired destination. Mechanical homogenization is the most commonly used method to produce o/w emulsions. However, several authors have also proposed new techniques for emulsification by using ultrasonic waves (Abismaïl et al., 1999, Lin and Chen, 2006) and by membranes (Giorno et al., 2003). 2.4. Summary and Analysis In the current investigation, oil is non polar, and as a result, they are not attracted to the polarity of water molecules. Oil molecules are hydrophobic, which means they are repelled by water molecules rather than being attracted to them. When you add oil to water, the two do not mix. Because oil is less dense than water, it will constantly float on top of it, forming an oily surface layer. Viscosity resists fluid motion, the motion created by a mixer impeller in a viscous fluid may die out before moving the full content. The oil and water can possibly be mixed using an emulsion, which is a mixing of two immiscible liquids in which a discrete volume of one is distributed into the 13 continuous phase of the other. The oil in oil-water emulsion is the dispersed phase, and the water is the continuous phase or dispersion medium. An emulsifier is necessary to reduce emulsion sizes and promote emulsion stability for creating stable emulsions. In conducting the research, temperature has a significant influence on viscosity. Temperature alterations impact the viscosity of both oil and water phases. Higher temperatures generally decrease viscosity, making it easier for the phases to mix and form emulsions.It often reduces interfacial tension, promoting emulsion stability. Conversely, lower temperatures can increase viscosity, may increase tension,affecting the emulsion stability. These physical changes induce turbulence, affecting the mixing of oil and water phases and influencing emulsion formation and stability. It can also influence the kinetics and thermodynamics of these reactions, impacting the overall emulsion formation process. When the concentration of water increases in an oil-water emulsion, the viscosity of the emulsion increases. The concentration of the surfactant or emulsifier remains constant throughout all emulsion samples. At lower water concentrations or dispersed phase, there are fewer water micro-droplets, resulting in a reduced surface or interface area with the oil continuous phase. As the concentration of water in the emulsion grows, a greater number of micro-droplets of water become available, resulting in a bigger interface area and more continuous phase binding in the interfacial layer. On the other hand, viscosity is generally pressure independent, but liquids under great pressure frequently suffer an increase in viscosity. Because liquids are generally incompressible, increasing the pressure does not bring the molecules any closer together. The differences in the results grow more evident as the oil velocity increases. The highest pressure differential was seen in the flow zone where the oil is on the continuous plane. A dispersion of one liquid in another two immiscible liquids, like oil and water represent oil and water soluble compounds. Understanding the relationship of temperature, viscosity changes, and emulsion behavior is essential for predicting and mitigating potential clogging or flow-related challenges. It enables the development of strategies to optimize operational conditions and maintain efficient fluid transport under varying temperature conditions. The surfactant, which is 14 composed of molecules that are both water and oil soluble, serves as an agent for connecting others in an emulsion. The surfactants break down this surface tension, allowing two immiscible liquids to form. Additionally, there is no yet to be undertaken a study in determining the relationship of three parameters or variables specified in the research, which are temperature, viscosity and the level of concentration of oilwater emulsion. 2.5. Gaps and Rationale The current studies could have considered identifying other types of emulsifiers or if there is any way to mix oil and water without any additional component. Moreover, studies correlating two of the variables like temperature and viscosity of oil-water emulsion, and effect of oil, in general, in the viscosity of the mixture is available. However, there is no study conducted yet that has an objective to find out the relationship between the three factors or variables that are mentioned in this research which is temperature, viscosity, and the amount of concentration of oil-water emulsion. Temperature is a major factor that affects the viscosity of fluids, hence this research aspires to compare the changes in viscosity of oil-water emulsion with varying temperatures to find out a more realistic result that is applicable to real life situations. “Investigating the effect of different molecular weights of polyethylene glycol (PEG) on the viscosity of the continuous phase in oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions using fluorescence microscopy and emulsion tracking technique” is the closest study to changing concentrations of oil in mixture. But the researcher altered the molecular weight of the emulsifier instead of having a variety in concentration. Despite that, hypothetically, the results would be alike: as the molecular weight of the emulsifier increases, the more viscous the continuous phase becomes, on the other hand, as the oil increases, the viscosity of the fluid will increase as well. This hypothesis will be proved in the experiment proper. 15 Chapter 3 Research Methodology 3.1. Methods of Research The researchers incorporated the use of the experimental method of research in conducting this study. With the use of experimental methods the researchers are able to obtain quantitative results. This type of method of research is a study in which makes use of the hypothesis and the variables that are manipulated by the researchers to acquire the data needed. Experimental method of research is also described to be a form of comparative analysis which means it studies more than one or more variables then observing a group that would be under a specific condition or groups that are experiencing different conditions. Hence, even if the researchers lack experience when it comes to the subject they would break new ground and uncover fresh information by adjusting various study variables (Indeed Editorial Team, 2023). By utilizing this type of method of research the researchers would obtain results which would help them determine the relationships between the factors used and how each group has affected each one of them. This is a method wherein the researchers will acquire numerical and measurable data. The research will also utilize the use of empirical research. In this research, the variable that is being manipulated is the temperature which would either be hot, cold, or at room temperature, all in which will have three trials for more accurate results. Quantitative Research is the type of research that is used in this study as a process in which it quantifies the gathering and analyzing of data. It is a method that is influenced by the positivist and empiricist philosophies through testing theories. According to the University of Southern California, numbers, logic, and objectivity are the main topics of quantitative research. It deals with “numeric and unchanging data and detailed, convergent reasoning rather than divergent reasoning. 3.2. Sources of Data It is already a known fact that water and oil are two different fluids with their own unique different properties, most especially its viscosity. When both water and oil are put into 16 a container together they do not mix; rather the oil would just drop at the bottom of the container because of its weight, which within itself already shows how it affects each other. This leads to the question “what would happen to the viscosity of the mixture if temperature is involved?”, it makes one wonder what would happen if a certain hot oil is mixed with similarly hot water or a hot oil mixed with cold water etc. Hence, the researchers were able to find an almost similar study as a source of information and guidance for the researchers. A study conducted by Yukubu Balogunm entitled “Numerical and Experimental Study of the Impact of Temperature on Relative in an Oil and Water System” found that the result of every experiment showed that temperature, water injection flow rate, and oil viscosity are all important variables to take into account when determining the oil-water relative permeability. Not only that but it is also found that the viscous fluid gets more viscous at the water-relative endpoint while the residual oil saturation increases as the injection flow rate increases. The study was done in trials which acquired a variety of results when it comes to permeability but it concluded that the less viscous the oil, the bigger the permeability values at the same flow rate settings. Additionally, another study conducted by Marco A. Farah et al. in the year 2005 entitled “Viscosity of water-in-oil emulsions: Variation with temperature and water volume fraction” found that emulsions' effective viscosity can be related to both temperature and the volume percent of the dispersed phase. These two studies showed how different factors can affect the viscosity of the liquid and its mixture, with both studies having the temperature as one of its variables or its output it can be said that these are the perfect source of data or material that the research will use as guide for the researcher's experimental procedure. The researchers will acquire the data needed in the study through the use of the falling ball test or the falling viscometer wherein it consists of a circular cylinder with a certain fluid and two different types of smooth ball (metal and marble). The ball is then to be dropped on the fluid and the amount or time it takes for the ball to drop at the bottom of the cylinder is to be recorded. This time would then be employed to solve for the viscosity based on its relationship with velocity in accordance to Stokes’ Law and the summation of forces. In which the gravitational force causes the ball to accelerate as it is lowered into the fluid until it achieves its terminal velocity. When the ball's weight and the viscous and buoyant forces are equal, terminal velocity occurs which at this point the velocity of the ball is maximum or terminal. Hence, it is important for the 17 researchers to conduct this experiment as a replacement to a viscometer for it would acquire the data needed for this research which is the viscosity of the oil-water mixture. Temperature is also a main source of data for this study revolves around how the temperature affects the viscosity of the oil-water’s emulsion. In the study the researchers would use three (3) different temperatures such as hot at the water’s burning point, room temperature, and cold at five (5) degrees celsius. Same as temperature, concentration is also an important source of data for it considers how much oil and water considered in the mixture which would obtain various viscosity, hence, the researchers uses 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% concentration in this study. 3.3. Research Locale The study was conducted at Technological Institute of the Philippines, Cubao at 938Aurora Boulevard, Quezon City. A laboratory setting can be used where controlled experiments with representative oil-water mixtures are conducted. This provides the advantage of precise control over experimental conditions. 3.4. Data Gathering Procedure Falling-ball Viscosity Test measures the time it takes a spherical ball to fall a specific distance under gravity through a tube filled with the fluid whose viscosity is to be calculated. Materials: ● Graduated cylinder ● Test Fluids ○ oil ○ water (cold, hot, room temperature) 18 ● Emulsifier ( Dish Soap) ● Scale ● Several Small Spheres (with Weight and Diameter to be measured) ● Stopwatch ● Hot plates ● Electric Blender ● Clear Container ● Ice Preparation: 1. Weigh each sphere on an electronic scientific scale and record on a sheet of paper the mass of each sphere (in kilograms). Measure each sphere for diameter then divide that by two to equal the radius. Record each radius value on the paper. 2. Calculate the volume of each sphere using the formula 𝐴 = 4 3 𝜋𝑟 3, where "A" represents volume and "r" represents the sphere's radius. 3. Determine the density of each sphere by dividing the mass found in Step 1 by the volume found in Step 2. Record the density of each sphere. 4. Preparing water samples: Using a hot plate, boil around 30 ml of water reaching its boiling point, of 100 degree celsius. Also, secure around 30 ml of cold water with about 5 degree celsius. Lastly, prepare a water sample with room temperature or approximately 25 degree celsius. note: temperature variations are applied to water since it is the continuous phase of the emulsion. 5. Prepare three emulsified liquid samples with 10% concentration of oil in water emulsion having a 10 ml volume. In each sample, use the water samples with 3 variations of temperatures (cold, hot, room temperature). 19 (for cold samples: put the cylinder in the middle of a clear container and surround it with ice. This step is to maintain the temperature of the liquid sample) 6. Repeat the last step with 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% concentration of oil in water emulsion. So there should be 15 samples in total. 7. Place an empty beaker on the scale and record its weight. Remove the beaker and fill it with 10 ml of the liquid. Subtract the weight of the empty beaker from the weight of the full beaker and divide the answer by 10 to calculate the density of 1 ml of that liquid. Determine Viscosity 1. Prepare your workstation with a graduated cylinder, the spheres, liquids, paper, stopwatch and tape. Carefully pour liquid into a graduated cylinder until it is nearly full. Leave about a half inch of space between the liquid and the top of the cylinder. 2. Mark off a spot, using the tape, about 2 cm below the liquid's surface and another about half an inch from the bottom of the cylinder. These marks will help determine the distance of the sphere's fall. Use either the top or the bottom of the tape as a guide, but remain consistent. Measure the exact distance between the tape marks and record it. 3. Hold the sphere on the surface of the liquid. Simultaneously start the stopwatch and drop the sphere. Stop the watch when the sphere reaches the second tape mark. Record the data. Repeat the drop using the other spheres and record their data. Repeat Steps 1 through 4 with the other liquid. 20 4. Calculate the velocity of the spheres by dividing the distance between the tape marks by the time it took for the sphere to reach the second mark. 4 5. Calculate the viscosity of the fluid using equation: 3 𝜋𝑟𝜌𝑠𝑜𝑙𝑖𝑑 𝑔 − 4 3 𝜋𝑟𝜌𝑓𝑙𝑢𝑖𝑑 𝑔 − 6𝜇𝜋𝑉𝑟 = 0 Table. 1 Density and viscosity of oil-water emulsion with varying temperature and concentration Concentration Temperature 10% Cold Density Room Temperature Hot 25% Cold Room Temperature Hot 50% Cold Room Temperature Hot 75% Cold Room Temperature Hot 21 Viscosity 100% Cold Room Temperature Hot 3.5. Conceptual Framework The framework gives an overview of the observed relationship and effect to viscosity of temperature and varying concentration of an oil-water emulsion. Eliminating one of the variables does not affect the output factors, however with an observable difference in the numbers that will be calculated. Both changes in temperature and concentration affect both density and viscosity. Given that viscosity is the fluid property as the focal point of the study, the framework below shows that an emulsion with varying concentrations and temperature influences density and viscosity. Given the above mentioned hypothesis, the experiment ought to prove that viscosity changes together with change in concentration, temperature, and density.

Analysis of the Results A. Temperature Variations COLD HOT ROOM 1.181711638 1.073305885 1.072931707 Table 4.9 – Table of comparison between the means of the Temperature Variations Table 4.9 shows the Mean or the Average between the temperature variations of Cold Temperature, Hot Temperature, and Room Temperature. The researchers used the statistical tool, Mean, to determine the average viscosity of each temperature variation without considering the type of sphere and concentration yet. Based on the table above the average viscosity of the cold temperature is at 1.181711638 Pa-s, the hot temperature obtained an average viscosity of 1.073305885 Pa-s, and the room temperature obtained an average viscosity of 1.072931707Pa-s. Hence, in hindsight the cold temperature would have the highest viscosity while the room temperature would have the lowest viscosity which means that in an oil-water emulsion both fluids should be at room temperature to be able to obtain the lowest viscosity because the lower the viscosity the faster the flow rate. 29 B. Concentration at Cold Temperature 10% 25% 50% 75% 100% 1.014106136 0.876318559 1.243138186 1.709654445 1.065340867 Table 4.10 – Table of comparison between the means of the Concentration at Cold Temperature Table 4.10 shows the Mean or the Average between the Concentration at Cold Temperature at 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. The researchers used the statistical tool, Mean, to determine the average viscosity of each concentration variation in consideration of its temperature, specifically the cold temperature, while not considering the type of sphere that is used. Based on the table above the average viscosity of the 10% concentration is at 1.014106136 Pa-s, at 25% concentration the average viscosity obtained is at 0.876318559 Pa-s, at 50% concentration 1.243138186 Pa-s average viscosity is obtained, at 75% concentration the average viscosity obtained is 1.709654445 Pa-s, and at 100% concentration 1.065340867 Pas average viscosity is obtained. Basing on the table above it is clear to see that at Cold Temperature the 75% concentration results to the highest viscosity while the 25% concentration yields the lowest viscosity in hindsight the cold temperature would have the highest viscosity this means that when an oil-water emulsion occur the concentration of the fluids should be at 25% at cold temperature for it to yield the lowest viscosity for a faster flow rate. C. Concentration at Hot Temperature 10% 25% 50% 75% 100% 2.152771798 0.891298814 0.739992364 0.559869354 1.022597094 Table 4.11 – Table of comparison between the means of the Concentration at Hot Temperature Table 4.11 shows the Mean or the Average between the Concentration at Hot Temperature at 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. The researchers used the statistical tool, Mean, to determine the average viscosity of each concentration variation in consideration of its temperature, specifically the cold temperature, while not 30 considering the type of sphere that is used. Based on the table above the average viscosity of the 10% concentration is at 2.152771798 Pa-s, at 25% concentration the average viscosity obtained is at 0.891298814 Pa-s, at 50% concentration 0.739992364 Pa-s average viscosity is obtained, at 75% concentration the average viscosity obtained is 0.559869354 Pa-s, and at 100% concentration 1.022597094 Pas average viscosity is obtained. By only basing at the table above it is clear to see that at Hot Temperature the 10% concentration results to the highest viscosity while the 75% concentration yields the lowest viscosity, this means that when an oil-water emulsion occur the concentration of the fluids should be at 75% when it’s in hot temperature for it to yield the lowest viscosity for a faster flow rate. D. Concentration at Room Temperature 10% 25% 50% 75% 100% 7.104260025 4.798205886 7.705008755 3.321170792 9.259305743 Table 4.12 – Table of comparison between the means of the Concentration at Room Temperature Table 4.12 shows the Mean or the Average between the Concentration at Room Temperature at 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. The researchers used the statistical tool, Mean, to determine the average viscosity of each concentration variation in consideration of its temperature, specifically the cold temperature, while not considering the type of sphere that is used. Based on the table above the average viscosity of the 10% concentration is at 7.104260025 Pa-s, at 25% concentration the average viscosity obtained is at 4.798205886 Pa-s, at 50% concentration 7.705008755 Pa-s average viscosity is obtained, at 75% concentration the average viscosity obtained is 3.321170792 Pa-s, and at 100% concentration 9.259305743 Pas average viscosity is obtained. The table above clearly shows that at Room Temperature the 100% concentration results to the highest viscosity while the 75% concentration yields the lowest viscosity, this means that when an oil-water emulsion occur the concentration of the fluids should be at 75% when it’s in hot temperature for it to yield the lowest viscosity for a faster flow rate. 31 E. Type of Sphere MARBLE METAL SPHERE 0.446339414 1.449847693 Table 4.13 – Table of comparison between the means of Type of Sphere Table 4.13 shows the Mean or the Average between the Type of Sphere such as the Marble and the Metal Sphere. Both spheres serve as the object that would pass through a pipe because different objects have different size, shapes, and weight. The researchers used the statistical tool, Mean, to determine the average viscosity of each type of sphere without considering its temperature and concentration. Based on the table above the average viscosity of marble is at 0.446339414 Pa-s while the metal sphere yields an average viscosity of 1.449847693 Pa-s. The table above clearly shows that the marble results to a higher viscosity while the marble obtains the lowest viscosity, which means that the smaller the object that is passing through a pipe the lower the viscosity to be obtained and the bigger it gets the higher its viscosity. Additionally, when an oil-water emulsion occurs only a small object or in this case a marble can pass through a pipe for it to obtain the lowest viscosity. 32 Chapter 5 Conclusion and Recommendations 5.1. Conclusion In conclusion, this experiment plays a crucial role in enhancing stability, lowering viscosity, and facilitating faster flow rates in household pipelines, thereby reducing the risk of clogging. Temperature variation, when maintained at room temperature, proves essential for achieving the lowest viscosity and ensuring efficient flow rates. Higher temperatures, especially at 75%, contribute to lower viscosity, mitigating the risk of clogging and flow-related issues. Emulsions, defined as mixtures of immiscible liquids, find diverse applications, and understanding the impact of temperature and concentration on viscosity is pivotal for managing oil-water emulsions in pipelines effectively. This knowledge is vital for predicting and preventing potential issues, ensuring optimal performance in various industries utilizing emulsified liquids. The research was able to confirm the difference in viscosity between emulsions that are subject to varying temperatures and concentrations. As the temperature increases, the less viscous the emulsion becomes. on the other hand, as the level of oil increases the more viscous the emulsion is. This knowledge is an important concept to understand especially in the field. 5.2. Recommendation Understanding the density and viscosity of oil-water emulsions in pipelines as a function of temperature is essential for a number of industrial applications, especially in the oil and gas sector. To begin, thoroughly study the literature to understand the techniques and information available regarding the density and viscosity of oil-water emulsions as a function of temperature. Identify key experimental ideas, designs, and strategies that previous researchers have used in related studies. Create a well-tuned experimental setup that allows the measurement of viscosity and density as a function of temperature. Consider variables such as flow rate, pressure, and emulsion composition. Make sure your arrangement can accurately simulate real-world settings 33 and use top-of-the-line tools. Choose the appropriate temperature range for your intended use case. Determine density and viscosity at different temperatures to fully understand temperature-dependent behavior. Implement quality control procedures to ensure that data from each test is accurate and reliable. Test your results for reprehensibility and repeatability to ensure your results are consistent. 34 References Yuson, H. (2023).
