Mechanism of drop coalescence at the interface of two immiscible liquids
نویسندگان
چکیده
Several processes involve two immiscible liquid phases with dispersed drops surrounded by a continuous phase. The drops coalesce for joining their mother phase. This phenomenon occurs in many industrial mixing, separation, as well as in environmental processes. This paper is focused on the problem of the coalescence of a single drop at the planar interface of two immiscible liquids. An original model for coalescence mechanism is proposed. It has been compared with some experimental data of the literature. The comparisons are quite satisfactory.

The Influence of Bicomponent Mixed Surfactants on Drop/Interface Coalescence
Effects of binary mixtures of ionic/nonionic (sodium dodecyl sulfate/2-heptanol or 1-decanol) and nonionic/nonionic surfactants (2-heptnol/1-decanol) on drop/interface coalescence of water drops in a continuous n-heptane phase were examined. The drop size reduced appreciably and the multi-step coalescence was suppressed finally as the concentration of each of the constituting components</em...

After designing and constructing a coalescence cell, drop/interface coalescence phenomenon was studied in the absence and presence of single surfactant.Two surface active agents of sodium dodecyl sulfate and 1-decanol were used. Distilled water was used as dispersed phase. Toluene, n-heptane and aqueous 60% (v/v) of glycerol were selected as continuous phases, separately. It was found that ...
متن کاملCoalescence Between Adjacent Drops Lying on the Interface of Two Liquids
Some industrial processes, in their operations, involve the presence of two immiscible liquid phases. The dispersed drops are surrounded by a continuous phase. The drops tend to coalesce with adjacent drops or to join their mother phase separated by an interface. These kind of phenomena occur in many industrial operations as well as in environmental processes. The liquid-liquid foams behaviour ...

This paper studies axially symmetric vibrations of a liquid-filled poroelastic thin cylinder saturated with two immiscible liquids of infinite extent that is surrounded by an inviscid elastic liquid. By considering the stress free boundaries, the frequency equation is obtained. Particular case, namely, liquid-filled poroelastic cylinder saturated with single liquid is discussed. When the waven...
