Roughness and wettability of surfaces in boundary lubricated scuffing wear
The diversity of multidisciplinary approaches suggests that fundamentals of scuffing require systemic, complex multi-scale and multi-physics analysis of an irreversible process as it is postulated in present study. That is probably one of the reasons of lack of unequivocal model of this irreversible transitional process from stable more or less lubricated wear to scuffing described only by one ...
متن کاملAn Experimental Investigation of Wettability Alteration in Carbonate Reservoir Using γ-Al2O3 Nanoparticles
Wettability alteration is one of the most important methods for oil recovery from sandstone and carbonate reservoirs. The effects of salinity, pH, temperature, and chemicals such as surfactants and fatty acids on the alteration of the wettability were described in previous studies. In recent years, attention has been directed to nanoparticles as a wettability alteration agent. The effect of som...
متن کاملThe effect of smart water and silica nanoparticles injection on wettability of limestone
Today, by using half of the oil reserves of the world, natural production of oil has decreased drastically. Gas and water injection for maintaining reservoir pressure is not responsive for oil production.At first, we dispersed silica nanoparticles in low salinity and after two weeks, there was no change in its stability. Then we mixed the nanoparticles in low salinity. After a while, we found o...
متن کاملExperimental analysis of heterogeneous nucleation in undercooled melts by infrared thermography
A new experimental technique for quantitative analysis of heterogeneous nucleation in undercooled melts is proposed in this paper. It is based on the observation by infrared thermography of the thermal behavior on cooling of a large population of small droplets deposited on a substrate. The method allows analyzing the influence of different parameters such as the size of the droplets, the cooli...
متن کاملA Laboratory Investigation into Wettability Alteration of Carbonate Rock by Surfactants: The Effect of Salinity, pH, and Surfactant Concentration
Wettability alteration is an important method for increasing oil recovery from oil-wet carbonate reservoirs. Chemical agents like surfactants are known as wettability modifiers in carbonate systems. Oil can be recovered from initially oil-wet carbonate reservoirs by wettability alteration from oil-wet to water-wet condition with adding dilute surfactant and electrolyte solutions. This paper inv...
