Abstract
Velocity profiles of Newtonian immiscible liquids undergoing laminar flow between two horizontal plates under pressure gradient are investigated using a momentum balance equation. The differential equation describing the flow has been solved and equations for the velocity profiles of a two-layer and three-layer liquid systems are presented. As examples, we show flow patterns of two-layer water-crude oil system and three-layer system involving water, tetrachloromethane, xylene, cyclopentane and hexane. A distinctive pattern is noticeable between the velocity profiles of heavy (API 19.19) and light (API 40.89) Omani crude oils.
