Evaluation of Viscosity Dependence of the Critical Meniscus Height with Optical Fiber Sensors

open access: yesSensors, 2021
Conventional means of data extraction using optical fiber interrogators are not adequate for fast-paced detection of a target parameter. In this instance, the relationship between the critical meniscus heights (CMH) of several liquids to the extraction ...

Tumour dynamics and necrosis: surface tension and stability

open access: yesMathematical Medicine and Biology, 2001
A model is developed for the motion of cells within a multicell spherical tumour. The model allows either for the intercellular forces to be in compression and cells to be compacted to a fixed number density, or for the cell number density to fall and cells to become isolated from each other.

Kinetics of Surfactant Adsorption at Fluid-Fluid Interfaces [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
We present a theory for the kinetics of surfactant adsorption at the interface between an aqueous solution and another fluid (air, oil) phase. The model relies on a free-energy formulation.

The Influence of the Ethyl Oleate and n-Hexane Mixture on the Wetting and Lubricant Properties of Canola Oil

open access: yesApplied Sciences
Canola oil (RO) is increasingly being considered as a potential lubricant for various types of abrasive materials. Unfortunately, its properties such as wettability, surface tension (ST), adhesion work and dynamic viscosity do not always meet the ...

Effect of hydrophobic modification of cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) and salt addition on Pickering emulsions undergoing phase-transition

open access: yesCarbohydrate Polymer Technologies and Applications, 2022
The charge density of emulsifiers determines the thermodynamics and kinetics adsorption properties at the oil-water interface of an emulsion. This study examines the rupture resistance and stability of the crystallized dispersed phase based on the ...

Smoothed Dissipative Particle Dynamics model for mesoscopic multiphase flows in the presence of thermal fluctuations

open access: yes, 2015
Thermal fluctuations cause perturbations of fluid-fluid interfaces and highly nonlinear hydrodynamics in multiphase flows. In this work, we develop a novel multiphase smoothed dissipative particle dynamics model.

Drop Size Dependence of the Apparent Surface Tension of Aqueous Solutions in Hexane Vapor as Studied by Drop Profile Analysis Tensiometry

open access: yesColloids and Interfaces, 2020
Surface tension experiments were performed using the drop profile analysis tensiometry method. The hexane was injected into the measuring cell at certain times before the formation of the solution drop.

Experimental consideration for contact angle and force acting on bubble under nucleate pool boiling

open access: yesNuclear Engineering and Technology, 2023
Pool boiling experiments are performed within an isolated bubble regime at inclination angles of 0° and 45°. When a bubble grows and departs from the heating surface, the pressure, buoyancy, and surface tension force play important roles.

Nanoscale surface relaxation of a membrane stack

open access: yes, 2007
Recent measurements of the short-wavelength (~ 1--100 nm) fluctuations in stacks of lipid membranes have revealed two distinct relaxations: a fast one (decay rate of ~ 0.1 ns^{-1}), which fits the known baroclinic mode of bulk lamellar phases, and a ...

Influence of different silica nanoparticles on drop size distributions in agitated liquid‐liquid systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The impact of different silica nanoparticles on rheology, interfacial tension and drop size distributions in liquid‐liquid systems is determined experimentally. The particles vary in wettability and specific surface area.
