A stress‐balance‐based critical Weber number for droplets and bubbles
AIChE Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Predicting droplet and bubble breakup in turbulent flows is critical for optimizing multiphase flow processes such as emulsification and atomization. Traditional models based on a fixed critical Weber number (Wec$$ {We}_c $$) may not capture interfacial‐stress dominance in low‐viscosity fluids or viscous resistance in high‐viscosity droplets ...

Experimental and numerical study of liquid–liquid systems using the Euler–Lagrange/VOF approach
AIChE Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Achieving stable liquid–liquid dispersions with controlled droplet size remains a challenge due to the complex interplay of dispersed phase viscosity, hydrodynamic conditions and interfacial interactions. This work presents a validated computational framework for droplet breakage and coalescence in liquid–liquid dispersions with variable ...

Electro‐Organic Synthesis at a Stable Oil/Water/Solid Three‐Phase Interface Reactor
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.A porous membrane electrode (PME) reactor is developed to promote oil/water/solid three‐phase interfacial contact for electro‐organic synthesis. By promoting the formation of an oil/water interfacial region within or near an amphiphilic catalytic layer, the reactor enables efficient conversion of water‐insoluble organic reactants in aqueous ...
