Line tension and reduction of apparent contact angle associated with electric double layers

Three-phase contact line and line tension of electrolyte solutions in contact with charged substrates.

The three-phase contact line formed by the intersection of a liquid-vapor interface of an electrolyte solution with a charged planar substrate is studied in terms of classical density functional theory applied to a lattice model. The influence of the substrate charge density and of the ionic strength of the solution on the intrinsic structure of the three-phase contact line and on the correspon...

Effective interactions between electric double layers.

This review summarizes and assesses recent theoretical and experimental advances, with special emphasis on the effective interaction between charge-stabilized colloids, in the bulk or in confined geometries, and on the ambiguities of defining an effective charge of the colloidal particles. Some consideration is given to the often neglected discrete solvent effects.

Double phase fault location in microgrids with the presence of electric vehicles and Distributed parameters line model

Nowadays, renewable energy is increasingly used in smart grids and microgrids to reduce the use of fossil fuels and improve network efficiency. Like all power system devices, microgrids are subject to transient and steady-state faults, such as short circuits. These faults impair reliability and consumer dissatisfaction. To accurately, automatically, and economically determine the location of a ...

Effect of Hexadecyl Trimethyl Ammonium Bromide (C16TAB) as Cationic Surfactant on Contact Angle and Interfacial Tension of Carbonate Rocks and Oil

Hydration interactions: aqueous solvent effects in electric double layers

A model for ionic solutions with an attractive short-range pair interaction between the ions is presented. The short-range interaction is accounted for by adding a quadratic nonlocal term to the Poisson-Boltzmann free energy. The model is used to study solvent effects in a planar electric double layer. The counterion density is found to increase near the charged surface, as compared with the Po...
