Transition from Complete to Partial Wetting within Membrane Compartments

The Transition From Centralized to a Free Economy Within the Framework of Regional Cooperation

A Magnetic Wetting Transition

We discuss, within a continuum Landau theory, the possibility of an anisotropy-reIated wetting transition in a semi-infinite cubic ferromagnet. This is then investigated for a specific value of anisotropy parameter, where it is shown to divide into two Ising model problems.

Partial wetting in porous catalysts: wettability and wetting e&ciency

Qualitative changes in the local (pore level) wetting e&ciency of a porous catalyst as a function of catalyst wettability are proposed based on monitoring the 1-D motion of the solid-liquid-gas contact line. As catalyst wettability is increased, the resulting wetting e&ciency is likely to show two distinct transitions viz., (1) a sudden decrease that is inspired by coalescence of neighboring ri...

Ion and Surfactant Induced Wetting Transition Ion and Surfactant Induced Wetting Transition

The ever-increasing demand for energy in our society calls for more efficient andsustainable recovery of fossil fuels. Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) deals with im-proving the recovery of oil from reservoirs. It encompasses not only the large-scaleengineering enterprise, but also the fundamental understanding and discovery ofthe relevant physicochemical processes. The motivation fo...
