Aluminum foam that is lightweight with high specific strength, energy absorption and other characteristics can be used in aerospace, transportation, machinery manufacturing fields. The PCM method usually to prepare closed-cell aluminum foams. microsized foams made by this process solve the non-uniform pore structures caused liquid drainage during foaming of large surface morphology internal str...

In this research, foaming technology was applied to obtain powdered yogurt from commercial at lower temperatures than the typical used during dehydration process; viability of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) evaluated after application different drying techniques (conventional drying, freeze and vacuum drying). Three formulas (F1, F2, F3) based on a agent (albumen), stabilizers (guar gum), prebiotic...

The brass tubes with foam cores of AlSi7SiC3, AlSi7SiC3Fe1 and AlSi7SiC3Fe3 were produced as the crush-boxes with circle and square cross-section. Then axial compressive behavior and energy absorption capability of the foam-filled tubes were investigated during the quasi-static progressive plastic buckling. The uniaxial compressive stress–strain curves of the foam-filled brass tubes exhibited t...

Foam injection is widely applied in amounts of fields to drilling, production, and formation protection. Sometimes, the application result is disappointing, which is caused by the failure of bubble generation in foam flooding. Therefore, it is necessary to seek ways for improving the performance of foam injection. An increased disturbance to the stratum, like the vibration caused by a seismic o...

Pilon, Laurent. Ph.D., Purdue University, December, 2002. Interfacial and Transport Phenomena in Closed-Cell Foams. Major Professor: Raymond Viskanta. The present study can be divided in three different parts: (1) foam dynamics, (2) thermal radiation transfer through foams and semitransparent media containing bubbles, and (3) bubble transport in three-dimensional liquid laminar flow. The first ...

milk-based espresso coffee is one of the most popular beverages. foam is an essential quality characteristic for this beverage. foam formation and stability is mainly related to the milk composition. in this study the influence of three different concentrations of xanthan gum (0.05, 0.1 and 0.2 g dm-3) and three different temperatures (50, 60 and 70 °c) on foam stability were examined and exper...

We report a comprehensive study of the flow of liquid triggered by injecting a droplet into a liquid foam microchannel, also called a Plateau border. This drop-injected experiment reveals an intricate dynamics for the liquid redistribution, with two contrasting regimes observed, ruled either by inertia or viscosity. We devoted a previous study [A. Cohen et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 112, 218303 (201...

Amphiphilic nanoparticles have attracted increasing interest as Pickering emulsifiers owing to the combined advantages of both traditional surfactants and homogeneous particles. Here, foaming amphiphilic fluorinated nanoparticles were prepared for enhanced oil recovery by the toposelective surface modification method. The structure and properties of amphiphilic nanoparticles were characterized ...

Foam fraction can be retrieved from space-based microwave radiometric data at frequencies from 1 to 37 GHz. The retrievals require modeling of ocean surface emissivity fully covered with sea foam. To model foam emissivity well, knowledge of foam properties, both mechanical and dielectric, is necessary because these control the radiative processes in foam. We present a physical description of fo...
