Thickness of residual wetting film in liquid-liquid displacement.
Core-annular flow is common in nature, representing, for example, how streams of oil, surrounded by water, move in petroleum reservoirs. Oil, typically a nonwetting fluid, tends to occupy the middle (core) part of a channel, while water forms a surrounding wall-wetting film. What is the thickness of the wetting film? A classic theory has been in existence for nearly 50 years offering a solution...
متن کاملA New Approach for the Measurement of Film Thickness in Liquid Face Seals
Face seals operate by allowing a small volume of the sealed fluid to escape and form a thin film between the contacting parts. The thickness of this film must be optimised to ensure the faces are separated, yet the leakage is minimised. In this work the liquid film is measured using a novel ultrasonic approach with a view to developing a condition monitoring tool. The trials were performed in t...
متن کاملMeasurement and Modeling of Liquid Film Thickness Evolution in Stratified Two-phase Microchannel Flows
Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) fuel cells incorporating microchannels (D<500 μm) can benefit from improved fuel delivery and convective cooling. However, this requires a better understanding of twophase microchannel transport phenomena, particularly liquid-gas interactions and liquid clogging in cathode air-delivery channels. This paper develops optical fluorescence imaging of water films i...
متن کاملTwin-rainbow metrology. I. Measurement of the thickness of a thin liquid film draining under gravity.
We describe twin-rainbow metrology, a new optical technique used to measure the thickness of thin films in a cylindrical geometry. We also present an application of the technique: measurement of the thickness of a Newtonian fluid draining under gravity. We compare these measurements with fluid mechanics models.
متن کاملThickness and optical constants measurement of thin film growth with circular heterodyne interferometry
In this article, we report an alternative method for in situ monitoring of the thickness and refractive index of thin film during the growth process. We design a special structure with a thickness-controlled air film to simulate the process of thin film growth. The phase term of the reflected light coming from this multi-layer structure is modulated and has a strong correlation with the thickne...
