Waxing-dewaxing process during the lubricating oil manufacturing is a multi phase, multi component flow with heat and mass transfer. Such process needs mathematical description of wax crystallization, fluid flow and heat transfer to predict e.g., mass fraction, crystals number, size and shape, press...
