Abstract:

Integrated membrane system is one of the current leading techniques repoprted for oil-water separation in current years. These combination of different filtration membranes offered the improved separation efficiency of the integrated membrane system during oil-water separation. Although the integrated membrane system is hilighted as the promissing method for oil-water separtion in various industries, the poor membrane wettability was reported which hampers the performance of the membrane. The poor estimation of the membrane wettability in the integrated membrane feed stream leads to the pores

The purpose of this work was to study the wettability of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNTs) and molten 96.5Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu (SAC305) lead-free solder alloy. The SWCNTs was coated with silver (Ag) by using an electroless plating method in order to enhance its wettability. The wetting behavior of molten SAC305 alloy on three different substrates, alumina, un-coated SWCNTs and Ag-coated SWCNTs was investigated by employing a modified sessile drop technique. The wetting angle between the molten SAC305 and the three substrates was measured at temperature range of 250-550 °C. The average wetting a

Abstract:

Wettability is a crucial petrophysical parameter for determining accurate production rates in oil and gas reservoirs. However, industry standard wettability measurements (Amott Test and USBM) are expensive and time consuming. It is known that NMR response varies as a function of wettability change in rock core plug samples. This information was used to develop an NMR wettability index (NWI) based on T2 distributions. This NWI is capable of measuring changes in wettability as a function of oil/water saturations unlike traditional methods which are based on measurements at Swi and Sor only. In a

Abstract:

Contact of surfactant solution onto rock surface has an important impact on the wettability alteration of the rock. This phenomenon has widely received attention of researchers on the field of EOR (enhanced oil recovery), at which surfactant solution basically has been used as the main injection fluid. However, there has not yet come up with conclusive findings, which is due to the unique characteristics of surfactant used at the oil fields. Therefore, every surfactant needs a particular laboratory evaluation before injected into a reservoir. We have evaluated surfactant-induced wettability al

Hence, there was need for cheaper and environmentally-friendly alternative. Also, there was need to find more use for abundant local materials which have are under-utilized.

Abstract:

The wettability of a reservoir rock is one of the most essential parameters in oil and gas recovery applications and gas storage schemes. However, bulk techniques, which are commonly used to analyse rock wettability, for example the United States Bureau of Mines test, are not sensitive enough to probe mixed-wettability scenarios. Furthermore, these measurements are conducted at millimetre–centimetre scale, while wettability is determined at the atomic scale, and some rocks (e.g. shale) have a very fine structure even at nanoscale.

Abstract:

AbstractWater flooding is widely applied for pressure maintenance or increasing the oil recovery of reservoirs. The heterogeneity and wettability of formation rocks strongly affect the oil recovery efficiency in carbonate reservoirs. During seawater injection in carbonate formations, the interactions between potential seawater ions and the carbonate rock at a high temperature can alter the wettability to a more water-wet condition. This paper studies the wettability of one of the Iranian carbonate reservoirs which has been under Persian Gulf seawater injection for more than 10 years. The wetta

Abstract:

The surface wettability of metallic biomaterials significantly influences the biological response of biomedical implants. However, the optimal degree of wettability depends on the specific coating or surface treatment applied to the biomaterial. Researchers have widely utilised hydroxyapatite coatings to modify implant surfaces to enhance bioactivity, biocompatibility, and osseointegration. This review article discussed the impact of hydroxyapatite-doped coatings on the surface wettability of metallic biomaterials. A systematic search of Scopus and Web of Science databases was conducted to rev

Abstract:

Surface wettability is thought to influence the osteoconductivity of bone-substituting materials; however, the effects of surface wettability on osteoblast behavior are not well understood. In this study, we prepared both an as-polished pure titanium with a water contact angle (WCA) of 57° and heat-treated pure titanium with more hydrophobic surface and WCAs of 68°-98°. The effects of the surface wettability of pure titanium on osteoblast behaviors were evaluated by in vitro assays. Compared with the as-polished titanium, the proliferation rate of osteoblast increased on heat-treated titanium.

Abstract:

Rock wettability plays a very important role in affecting various rock physical properties such as relative permeability and capillary pressure. Common practice at present is that carbonate rocks are assumed to be preferentially oil wet in nature. This assumption may prove fatal since the need of true knowledge over the real wettability for one’s carbonate reservoir is often neglected, and wettability aspect in reservoir modeling is in turn based on assumption. To prove over reliability of the assumption a study is carried out using information from 350 core samples taken from Baturaja Formati

Abstract:

Water within coal reservoirs exerts dual effects on methane adsorption–desorption by competing for adsorption sites and reducing permeability. The bound water effect, caused by coal wettability, significantly constrains coalbed methane (CBM) production, rendering investigations into coal wettability crucial for efficient CBM development. Compared with other geological formations, coals are characterized by a highly developed microporous structure, making the CO2 sequestration mechanism in coal seams closely linked to the microscale interactions among gas, water, and coal matrixes. However, the

Abstract:

The demand for engineered wood products (EWPs) continues to rise internationally. However, for some important Australian commercial timbers such as plantation grown southern pine and native forest sourced spotted gum, a major impediment to achieving commercially viable EWP production is difficulties experienced in gluing – particularly for sawn laminate based EWPs such as glulam. Wettability and permeability have a major influence on wood adhesion. This study investigated the efficacy of different surface machining preparations on the wettability and permeability of southern pine and spotted g

In this study, pool boiling from micro-pillar modified surface has been simulated numerically by a 3D Lattice Boltzmann method(LBM). Effects of geometries and wettability of micro-pillaron boiling heat transfer performance were also systematically evaluated. Result showed that compared with in micro-pillar surface, heat flux of cubic micro-pillar surface was the highest with the lowest wall temperature. In addition, compared to hydrophilic condition, Heat flux of cubic micro-pillar surface with hydrophobic wettability increased by 98.3%. This is because hydrophobic wettability influenced nucle

The wettability of molten glass powder plays an essential role in the encapsulation of microelectromechanical system (MEMS) devices with glass paste as an intermediate layer. In this study, we first investigated the flow process of nano glass powder melted at a high temperature by simulation in COMSOL. Both the influence of the different viscosity of hot-melt glass on its wettability on SiO2 and the comparison of the wettability of hot-melt glass on Au metal lead and SiO2 were investigated by simulation. Then, in the experiment, the hot-melt glass flew and spread along the length of the Au ele

Abstract:

Summary Two-dimensional (2D) NMR techniques have been proposed as efficient methods to infer a variety of petrophysical parameters, including mixed fluid saturation, in-situ oil viscosity, wettability, and pore structure. However, no study has been presented to quantify the petrophysical limitations of such methods. We address this problem by introducing a pore-scale framework to accurately simulate suites of NMR measurements acquired in complex rock/fluid models. The general pore-scale framework considered in this paper is based on NMR random walks for multiphase fluid diffusion and relaxatio
