Abstract. This article presents the results of an experimental research of the surface tension c of fractions of the Mangyshlak (Uzen oil field) and Samotlor oils obtained earlier in the Industrial Thermal Physics Laboratory of the Grozny Oil Institute. For measurements, a differential method of capillary rise was used with five calibrated glass capillaries of various diameters, the inhomogeneity of the inner diameter of which did not exceed 0,04 % of the average value. The temperature of the measuring cell was maintained with an accuracy of ±0,02 K and was measured with reference-grade platinum resistance thermometer PTS-10. Visual observation of the level of meniscus fluid in the capillaries was carried out using a KM-6 cathetometer. The maximum error in measuring the capillary constant in the specified temperature range was 0,5 %. The total error of an individual measurement of c, depending on the value of the reduced temperature, varied from 0,5...0,8 % in the range of 233.. .423 K to 1,0.. .1,2 % in the range of 423.. .573 K.
The article presents the experimental values of the capillary constant and surface tension of the investigated fractions of the Mangyshlak and Samotlor oils as well as their smoothed values. The data obtained allowed to describe the surface tension of the investigated petroleum products, depending on their physicochemical characteristics, by various approximation equations with a sufficient degree of accuracy. The specific excess entropies and energies of the surface layer were also calculated for the fractions of Samotlor oil.
A generalized dependence has been obtained using the theory of corresponding states, which gives the opportunity to calculate with high accuracy the surface tension of fractions of Mangyshlak oil in the entire investigated temperature range. The possibility of using the van der Waals equation with a constant exponent is shown to describe the temperature dependence of the surface tension of the Mangyshlak oil fractions.
Keywords:
petroleum products, capillary constant, surface tension, pseudocritical temperature, surface energy.
Experimental data on the surface tension c of petroleum products are scarce and scattered. In the Industrial Thermal Physics Laboratory of the Grozny Oil Institute, this property has been intensively studied in the last years of its existence. This article presents the experimental data on c for fractions of two oils - Mangyshlak (Uzen oil field, 13 fractions) and Samotlor (12 fractions).
Experiment
To measure the surface tension, researchers used a differential method of capillary rise with five calibrated glass capillaries of various diameters, the inhomogeneity of the inner diameter of which did not exceed 0,04 % of the average value. Thermostating of the measuring cell was carried out with an accuracy of ±0,02 °C, the temperature was measured with reference-grade platinum resistance thermometer PTS-10. Visual observation of the level of meniscus fluid in the capillaries was carried out using a KM-6 cathetometer. A detailed description of the experimental apparatus and the experimental method is given earlier [1-3]. The maximum error in measuring the capillary constant a2 in the specified temperature range was 0,5 %.

where a2293 is the capillary constant at 293,15 K; Tpc is the pseudocritical temperature, the value of which was calculated by the method of Riazi [4]; n is the individual exponent for each fraction.
The maximum magnitude of the root-mean-square error (RMSE) of a2 values calculated
where ct293 is the surface tension at 293 K; ^ is the exponent individually defined for each fraction of Samotlor oil. For the fractions of Mangyshlak oil a universal indicator ^ = 1,19 was determined, at which the maximum deviation of the calculated values from the experimental ones did not exceed 1,26 %.
To calculate ct293, a two-parameter correlation was proposed [5]:

n=0
where p2^ is the relative density, M is the molecular mass. The RMSE in calculations using formula (4) was 1,65 %.
Table 3 shows the physicochemical properties (refractive index nf3 and boiling point Tb) and the values of constants a22g3, a2g3, Tpc, n and ^ in equations (2) and (3) for the fractions of Samotlor oil. For these fractions, the values of the specific excess entropy (Ss) and the surface layer energy (Us) were also calculated:

Table 4 shows the smoothed values of a2, c, S and U .
Analysis of the experimental data on a2 and c showed that there were certain two-parameter dependences between the values of a\g3 and a2g3 of the investigated fractions of Samotlor oil and their different physicochemical characteristics:

The coefficients of equation (7) and the RMSEs (S„ ) for the calculated a2g3 values vs the experimental ones are given in table 5.
As can be seen from table 5, the smallest RMSEs are given by calculations using the boiling point (Tb) and relative density (p^), as well as the two-parameter dependence are given by calculations using molecular mass (M) and relative density (p^).

Earlier [1] a formula was obtained that describes the dimensionless dependence of a on temperature:
c* = — = 2,672[exp(-l,025x) - 0,371t], (8)
where a06 is surface tension at a reduced temperature x = T/Tpc = 0,6. The RMSE in calculations using this formula was 1,65 %. This formula is correct from the point of view of the theory of thermodynamic similarity, and can be recommended for a wide variety of fractions; however, it is necessary to clarify the method for calculating a0,6.
***
The proposed methods for calculating the surface tension based on the experimental data obtained in this article describe the surface tension in the investigated temperature range for fractions of two oil fields with a sufficient degree of accuracy. However, additional research is needed to determine a universal method for calculating the surface tension of all petroleum products.

Тезисы. В статье представлены результаты экспериментальных исследований поверхностного натяжения (а) фракций мангышлакской (нефтяное месторождение Узень) и самотлорской нефти, проводившихся в лаборатории теплофизики Грозненского нефтяного института. Измерения выполнены дифференциальным методом капиллярного поднятия с использованием пяти откалиброванных стеклянных капиллярных трубок разного диаметра (разброс внутренних диаметров не превышал 0,04%-ного отклонения от средней величины). Температура измерительной ячейки выставлялась с точностью ±0,02 К и измерялась эталонным платиновым термометром сопротивления ПТС-10. Визуальное наблюдение уровня мениска в капиллярных трубках осуществлялось при помощи катетометра КМ-6. Погрешность измерений капиллярной константы в выбранном диапазоне температур не превышала 0,5 %. Суммарная погрешность индивидуального измерения а составила 0,5.0,8 % и 1,0.1,2 % в диапазонах температур 233.423 К и 423.573 К соответственно.
В статье приводятся экспериментальные значения капиллярной константы и поверхностного натяжения для исследованных фракций мангышлакской и самотлорской нефтей, а также усредненные значения этих величин. Полученные данные позволили вывести приближенную зависимость поверхностного натяжения исследованных нефтепродуктов от их физико-химических характеристик. Для фракций самотлорской нефти также рассчитаны значения удельной избыточной энтропии и энергии поверхностного слоя.
Генерализованная зависимость получена с использованием аппарата теории соответственных состояний, что позволило с высокой точностью рассчитать поверхностное натяжение для фракций мангышлакской нефти в выбранных диапазонах температур. Применительно к мангышлакской нефти показана также возможность использовать для расчета а уравнение ван дер Ваальса с постоянным показателем степени.
