Correlations for Pour Point and Cloud Point of middle and heavy distillates using density and distillation temperatures
Linear and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based correlations have been developed to determine the Pour Point and Cloud Point of middle and heavy distillates. Proposed correlations are based on the most commonly measured properties in petroleum industry i.e. density and distillation temperatures. The linear correlations are presented as such. For neural networks, weights of the optimized network are presented such that the correlation can be easily implemented by the reader. (C) 2012 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
