| Summary: | This book provides an introduction to the nature, formation and occurrence, stability, propagation, and uses of suspensions in the petroleum industry. Its audience is scientists and engineers who may encounter or apply suspensions, whether in process design, petroleum production, or research and development. The primary focus is on the applications of the principles of particle dispersions, with attention given to practical processes and problems. The book illustrates how to understand, make, and use desirable suspensions and how to approach destabilizing, or preventing the occurrence of undesirable suspensions. |
