Abstract:
Many liquids have properties improved, and fluid flow friction losses are reduced in flowing fluids by adding thereto a small, effective amount of composition comprising (i) a continuous phase of a liquid which is normally miscible with said fluid, and, dispersed therein, (ii) a stable discontinuous phase predominantly comprising fine particles of a high molecular weight polymer which is ultimately miscible with said fluid. In preferred features the compositions include a surface active agent. In other preferred features, friction is reduced in flowing hydrocarbons.
Abstract:
This invention relates to an emulsion-breaking composition comprising about 70 to 99.8% by weight of at least one silicon-free demulsifier, and about 0.2 to 30% by weight of a mixed polyoxyalkylene-polysiloxane block polymerizate, the polyoxyalkylene blocks of which have a molecular weight of about 500 to 4000 and are composed of polyoxyethylene and polyoxypropylene blocks in a weight ratio of 40 to 60 to 100:0, and the polysiloxane blocks of which contain 3 to 50 silicon atoms per block. The invention also includes a process for breaking emulsions using the novel emulsion-breaking composition.

Abstract:
The fluid mixture herein declared, includes three chemicals, one which is a silicone fluid normally used as a textile auxiliary agent, one which is a solvent, and one which is a viscous liquid used for various industrial applications. And the combining of all three agents at the developed percentages, forms the designed fluid herein claimed. The fluid herein claimed is designed to be used as a high heat retention liquid, designed to be used within a “closed loop” heating system, thus excluding any contact with the atmosphere, or other surroundings except for the system for which this mixture has been developed.
Abstract:
A method of operating a turbo charged diesel engine is provided where a viscosity increasing component in a diesel fuel composition is used, to improve the acceleration performance, at low engine speeds (for example up to 2200 rpm). This method may be used for reducing the engine speed at which the turbo charger reaches its maximum speed when accelerating at low engine speeds, or reducing the time taken for the turbo charger to reach its maximum speed. It may mitigate a deterioration in the acceleration performance of the engine due to another cause. The VK 40 of the resultant fuel composition is suitably 2.8 mm2/s (centistokes) or greater. The viscosity increasing component may in particular be a Fischer-Tropsch derived fuel component, an oil or a fatty acid alkyl ester. A density increasing component may be used in the fuel composition together with the viscosity increasing component.
