Contact angle measurements are widely used to characterize the wettability of a liquid droplet on a solid surface. The contact angle is the angle formed between the tangent to the liquid droplet at the three-phase contact line (where the liquid, solid, and vapor phases meet) and the solid surface. To perform contact angle measurements, the …
Relative permeability curves are important for characterizing the flow behavior of multiphase fluids (such as oil and water) in porous media. These curves provide information about the fractional flow of each phase as a function of saturation. To measure relative permeability curves, the following steps are typically involved: The resulting relative permeability curves provide information …
Zeta potential (a) and Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) (b) measurements are commonly used techniques for characterizing nanofluids. Let’s explore each measurement in the context of nanofluids: (a) Zeta Potential Measurements: Zeta potential measurements in nanofluids help determine the surface charge and stability of nanoparticles dispersed in a liquid medium. Nanoparticles tend to aggregate or agglomerate …

Zeta potential measurements are a technique used to determine the electrokinetic potential at the interface between a solid surface and a surrounding liquid medium. It provides information about the surface charge and the stability of colloidal systems. When a solid surface is immersed in a liquid, a layer of ions (referred to as the electrical …
Interfacial Tension (IFT): Interfacial tension refers to the force that exists at the interface between two immiscible fluids. It is a measure of the energy required to increase the surface area of the interface. The IFT is influenced by the nature of the two fluids and the temperature. It is commonly denoted by the symbol …
I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide me with more information regarding the utilization of the HPNP application for conducting research on oil and gas in relation to core flood. Having a better understanding of the specific details of the research project would allow me to furnish you with more accurate and useful …
I recently conducted some experiments on Contact Angle and IFT measurements, and I wanted to share my findings with you. Through my research, I found that contact angle measurements can provide valuable insights into surface properties and interactions between liquids and solids. Additionally, IFT measurements can be used to study the behavior of interfaces and …
I have been researching the synthesis of Janus Nanoparticles (JPNP) and have found some interesting results. It appears that JPNPs can be synthesized using a variety of methods, including emulsion polymerization, self-assembly, and electrochemical deposition. The choice of method depends on the desired properties of the JPNPs, such as size, shape, and surface chemistry. The …
