Abstract
Wax appearance temperature (WAT) of three petroleum waxes in different solvent systems under varying thermal conditions has been determined. It is observed that this temperature mainly is a function of the conc entration of the wax and the solubility parameter (delta) of the solve nt taken. This dependence of WAT has been quantified in terms of these variables in the form of mathematical equation and nomographs.
