However, the effects of DES on the wettability of rock surface have not been thoroughly investigated in the reported studies. In this study, the effects of various DES samples on the wettability of sandstone samples are investigated using the Amott wettability measurement method. Three DES samples and several DES solutions and DES-surfactant solutions are firstly synthesized. Then, the wettability of the sandstone samples is measured using pure saline water, DES solutions, and DES-surfactant solutions, respectively. The effects of the DES samples on the wettability of the sandstone samples are investigated by comparing the measured wettability parameters, including oil displacement ratio (I_(o)), water displacement ratio (I_(w)), and wettability index (I_(A)). The Berea rock sample used in this study is weakly hydrophilic with I_(o), I_(w), and I_(A) of 0.318, 0.032, and 0.286, respectively. Being processed by the prepared DES samples, the wettability of the Berea sandstone samples is altered to hydrophilic (0.7 > I_(A) > 0.3) by increasing I_(w) but lowering Io. Similarly, DES-surfactant solutions can also modify the wettability of the Berea sandstone samples from weakly hydrophilic to hydrophilic. However, some DES-surfactant solutions can not only increase I_(w) but also increase I_(o), suggesting that the lipophilicity of those sandstone samples will be improved by the DES-surfactant solutions. In addition, micromodel flooding tests confirm the promising performance of a DES-surfactant solution in improving oil recovery and altering wettability. Moreover, the possible mechanisms of DES and DES-surfactant solutions in altering the wettability of the Berea sandstone samples are proposed. DES samples may improve the hydrophilicity by forming hydrogen bonds between rock surface and water molecules. For DES-surfactant solutions, surfactant micelles can capture oil molecules to improve the lipophilicity of those sandstone samples.展开更多

文摘Low reactivity and appropriate wettability between molten superalloys and ceramic materials are crucial for the production of high-quality superalloy castings.The sessile-drop experiment was employed to systematically investigate the interfacial reaction and wettability between the 4777DS1 superalloy and SiO_(2)-based ceramic core at various temperatures(1,480℃,1,500℃,1,520℃,and 1,550℃).The wetting behavior and interfacial reaction products at different temperatures were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy(SEM),energy dispersive spectroscopy(EDS),and X-ray diffraction(XRD).The interfacial reaction process and products were discussed,and the thermodynamic behavior and interfacial reaction mechanisms were elucidated.The results demonstrate that the wetting behavior and interfacial reaction between the 4777DS1 alloy and the ceramic core are significantly influenced by temperature.The wettability angle exhibits a trend of initial decrease followed by an increase with rising temperature,reaching a maximum of 139°at 1,480℃,indicating poorer wettability of the 4777DS1 superalloy with the ceramic core and better casting properties at this specific temperature.The most intense interfacial reaction occurs at 1,520℃,resulting in the formation of the main interfacial reaction products such as Al_(2)O_(3),SiO_(2),and HfO_(2).Additionally,some crystal-like products rich in Si and Hf distribute on the reaction layer.

文摘To inhibit the interfacial(displacement)reaction between Hf and Al elements in the DZ125 superalloy and the Al_(2)O_(3) and SiO_(2) in the Al_(2)O_(3)-based ceramic shell,rare-earth oxides(La_(2)O_(3) and Y_(2)O_(3))were used as dopants into the shell.The effects of dopant types and contents(2 wt%,5 wt%and 8 wt%)on the wettability and interfacial reaction were investigated using the sessile-drop experiment,and the reaction products were analyzed by X-ray diffraction(XRD),a scanning electron microscope(SEM),an electron probe microanalyzer(EPMA)and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS),to clarify the mechanism of dopants in the interracial reaction.The results show that increasing the Y_(2)O_(3) doping content(2 wt%-8 wt%)reduces the surface porosity from 22.39%to 13.43%,and decreases the surface roughness from 3.25 to 2.28μm,which enhances the packing density of the shell surface.In the sintering process(1223 K,2 h),both La_(2)O_(3) and Y_(2)O_(3) dopants react with SiO_(2),forming La_(2)Si_(2)O_(7) and Y_(2)SiO_(5) on the shell surface.During the interfacial reaction process(1823 K,40 min),La_(2)Si_(2)O_(7) decomposes and reacts with Al_(2)O_(3) and HfO_(2),resulting in the formation of SiO_(2)·HfO_(2)·La_(2)O_(3) and Al_(2)O_(3)·HfO_(2)·La_(2)O_(3) ternary composite oxides within the reaction products.At 8 wt%La_(2)O_(3) dopant content,the interfacial reaction is exacerbated,resulting in the uneven wettability.Y_(2)SiO_(5) further reacts with Al_(2)O_(3) and SiO_(2) to form SiO_(2)·Al_(2)O_(3)·Y_(2)O_(3) ternary composite oxides,while Y_(2)O_(3) combines with Al_(2)O_(3) to form Al_(5)Y_(3)O_(12)(VAG),which stabilizes the oxides within the shell and inhibits the interfacial reaction,and significantly improves the surface quality of the DZ125 superalloy.As the Y_(2)O_(3) dopant content increases(2 wt%-8 wt%),the wetting angle increases from 97.8°to 110.6°.

文摘Some active metal oxides(Al_(2)O_(3),TiO_(2),and Cr_(2)O_(3))were selected as dopants to the Al_(2)O_(3)-based ceramic shells for investment casting of K417G superalloy.The effects of dopant types and contents(0,2,5,and 8 wt.%)on the wettability and interfacial reaction between the alloy and shell were investigated by a sessile-drop experiment.The results show that increasing the Al_(2)O_(3) doping contents(0−8 wt.%)reduces the porosity(21.74%−10.08%)and roughness(3.22−1.34μm)of the shell surface.The increase in Cr_(2)O_(3) dopant content(2−8 wt.%)further exacerbates the interfacial reaction,leading to an increase in the thickness of the reaction layer(2.6−3.1μm)and a decrease in the wetting angle(93.9°−91.0°).The addition of Al_(2)O_(3) and TiO_(2) dopants leads to the formation of Al_(2)TiO_(5) composite oxides in the reaction products,which effectively inhibits the interfacial reaction.The increase in TiO_(2) dopant contents(0−8 wt.%)further promotes the formation of Al_(2)TiO_(5),which decreases the thickness of the interfacial reaction layer(3.9−1.2μm)and increases the wetting angle(95.0°−103.8°).The introduced dopants enhance the packing density of the shell surface,while simultaneously suppress the diffusion of active metal elements from the alloy matrix to the interface.
文摘In order to explore the mechanism of improving the surface wettability of low-energy polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE)by new extended surfactants,five kinds of extended anionic surfactants with different numbers of oxypropylene(PO)and oxyethylene(EO),octadecyl-(PO)_(m)-(EO)_(n)-sodium carboxylate(C_(18)PO_(m)EO_(n)C,m=5,10,15,n=5,10,15),were studied.The surface tension and contact angle of C_(18)PO_(m)EO_(n)C solution with different concentrations were measured,and the adhesion tension,PTFE-water interfacial tension,and adhesion work were calculated.It was found that the extended surfactant molecules adsorb on the surface of the solution and the PTFE-liquid interface simultaneously when the concentration is lower than the critical micelle concentration(cmc),and there was a linear relationship between surface tension and adhesion tension.The adsorption amount of C_(18)PO_(m)EO_(n)C at the PTFE-water interface was significantly lower than that on the surface of the solution.As the concentration increases above cmc,semi-micelle aggregates on the surface of PTFE are formed by C_(18)PO_(m)EO_(n)C molecules through hydrophobic interaction,and the hydrophilic group faces the solution to modify the surface of PTFE with high efficiency.

文摘As the main factor influencing the flow and preservation of underground fluids,wettability has a profound impact on CO_(2)sequestration(CS).However,the influencing factors and internal interaction mechanisms of shale kerogen wettability remain unclear.In this study,we used molecular dynamics to simulate the influence of temperature,pressure,and salinity on wettability.Furthermore,the results were validated through various methods such as mean square displacement,interaction energy,electrostatic potential energy,hydrogen bonding,van der Waals forces,and electrostatic forces,thereby confirming the reliability of our findings.As temperature increases,water wettability on the surface of kerogen increases.At CO_(2)pressures of 10 and 20 MPa,as the temperature increases,the kerogen wettability changes from CO_(2)wetting to neutral wetting.As the CO_(2)pressure increases,the water wettability on the surface of kerogen weakens.When the pressure is below 7.375 MPa and the temperature is 298 or 313 K,kerogen undergoes a wettability reversal from neutral wetting to CO_(2)wetting.As salinity increases,water wettability weakens.Divalent cations(Mg2+and Ca2+)have a greater impact on wettability than monovalent cations(Na^(+)).Water preferentially adsorbs on N atom positions in kerogen.CO_(2)is more likely to form hydrogen bonds and adsorb on the surface of kerogen than H_(2)O.As the temperature increases,the number of hydrogen bonds between H_(2)O and kerogen gradually increases,while the increase in pressure reduces the number of hydrogen bonds.Although high pressure helps to increase an amount of CS,it increases the permeability of a cap rock,which is not conducive to CS.Therefore,when determining CO_(2)pressure,not only a storage amount but also the storage safety should be considered.This research method and results help optimize the design of CS technology,and have important significance for achieving sustainable development.

文摘Recently, deep eutectic solvents (DES) have received great attention in assisting water flooding and surfactant flooding to improve oil recovery because they can reduce the interfacial tension (IFT) between oil and water, inhibit surfactant adsorption, and change the wettability of rock. However, the effects of DES on the wettability of rock surface have not been thoroughly investigated in the reported studies. In this study, the effects of various DES samples on the wettability of sandstone samples are investigated using the Amott wettability measurement method. Three DES samples and several DES solutions and DES-surfactant solutions are firstly synthesized. Then, the wettability of the sandstone samples is measured using pure saline water, DES solutions, and DES-surfactant solutions, respectively. The effects of the DES samples on the wettability of the sandstone samples are investigated by comparing the measured wettability parameters, including oil displacement ratio (I_(o)), water displacement ratio (I_(w)), and wettability index (I_(A)). The Berea rock sample used in this study is weakly hydrophilic with I_(o), I_(w), and I_(A) of 0.318, 0.032, and 0.286, respectively. Being processed by the prepared DES samples, the wettability of the Berea sandstone samples is altered to hydrophilic (0.7 > I_(A) > 0.3) by increasing I_(w) but lowering Io. Similarly, DES-surfactant solutions can also modify the wettability of the Berea sandstone samples from weakly hydrophilic to hydrophilic. However, some DES-surfactant solutions can not only increase I_(w) but also increase I_(o), suggesting that the lipophilicity of those sandstone samples will be improved by the DES-surfactant solutions. In addition, micromodel flooding tests confirm the promising performance of a DES-surfactant solution in improving oil recovery and altering wettability. Moreover, the possible mechanisms of DES and DES-surfactant solutions in altering the wettability of the Berea sandstone samples are proposed. DES samples may improve the hydrophilicity by forming hydrogen bonds between rock surface and water molecules. For DES-surfactant solutions, surfactant micelles can capture oil molecules to improve the lipophilicity of those sandstone samples.

文摘Bubble nucleation plays a crucial role in boiling heat transfer and other applications.Traditional experiments struggle to capture its microscopic mechanisms,making molecular dynamics simulations a powerful tool for such studies.This work uses molecular dynamics simulations to investigate bubble nucleation of water on copper surfaces with sinusoidal groove roughness under varying heat flux and surface wettability.Results show that at the same wettability,higher heat flux leads to higher surface temperatures after the same heating time,promoting bubble nucleation,growth,and departure.Moreover,under constant heat flux,stronger surface hydrophilicity enhances heat transfer from the solid to the liquid,further accelerating the nucleation.This study provides valuable insights into the mechanism of bubble nucleation and offers theoretical guidance for enhancing heat transfer.

文摘Wettability has complex effects on the physical properties of reservoir rocks.The wettability of rocks should be characterized accurately to explore and develop oil and gas.Researchers have studied the rock wettability by dielectric spectra which contained abundant information.To study the rock wettability from dielectric dispersion,four rock samples with different wettabilities were used to design an experimental measurement flow.The relative dielectric permittivity in the frequency range of 100 Hz-10MHz and nuclear magnetic resonance T_(2)spectra of the samples were obtained.Subsequently,the wettabilities of the rocks were verified by the T_(2)spectra.The dielectric dispersions of the samples under different conditions were analyzed.Furthermore,the simulated-annealing(SA)algorithm was used to invert the wettability and related parameters of the rocks by a dielectric dispersion model.The results indicated that the dielectric permittivity of lipophilic rocks is lower than that of hydrophilic rocks,and that the dielectric permittivity of hydrophilic rocks decreases faster as the frequency increases.The dielectric permittivity in the high-frequency band is associated with the water content.The rock wettability parameters obtained via inversion agreed well with the T_(2)spectra,and the saturation index of the rocks.The errors between the rock permittivity calculated by the inverted parameters and the experimentally measured values were minor,indicating that rock wettability could be accurately characterized using dielectric dispersion data.

文摘The icing of areo-engine inlet components during flight can affect engine operational safety.Conventional hot-air anti-icing systems require a large amount of bleed air,which compromises engine performance.Consequently,low-energy anti/de-icing methods based on superhydrophobic surfaces have attracted widespread attention.Previous studies have demonstrated that for stationary components,superhydrophobic surfaces can significantly reduce anti-icing energy consumption by altering the flow behavior of runback water.However,for rotating inlet components of aero-engines,the effectiveness of superhydrophobic surfaces and the influence of surface wettability on the evolution of runback water flow remain unclear due to the effects of centrifugal and Coriolis forces.This study establishes a 3D liquid water flow simulation model using the volume of fluid(VOF)method to investigate the effects of rotational speed,airflow velocity,and surface wettability on the runback water flow behavior over the rotating spinner under dynamic rotation conditions.The results show that the rotational effects and surface wettability mutually reinforce one another.Specifically,increasing the rotational speed and contact angle can both enhance the flow velocity of liquid water and accelerate the breakup and rupture of liquid film,leading to the formation of rivulets,droplets,and subsequent detachment from the surface.A theoretical model based on force balance is proposed to describe the evolution of runback water flow,and the analysis reveals that as the rotational speed and contact angle increase,the water film is more likely to break up to form rivulets and beads,and the critical radius for droplet detachment from the surface decreases,making it easier removal from the surface.

文摘The present work deals with the numerical study of the two-phase flow pattern and heat transfer characteristics of single-loop pulsating heat pipes(PHPs)under three modified surfaces(superhydrophilic evaporation section paired with superhydrophilic,superhydrophobic,and hybrid condensation section).The Volume of Fluid(VOF)model was utilized to capture the phase-change process within the PHPs.The study also evaluated the influence of surface wettability on fluid patterns and thermo-dynamic heat transfer performance under various heat fluxes.The results indicated that the effective nucleation and detachment of droplets are critical factors influencing the thermal performance of the PHPs.The overall heat transfer performance of the superhydrophobic surface was significantly improved at low heat flux.Under medium to high heat flux,the superhydrophilic condensation section exhibits a strong oscillation effect and leads to the thickening of the liquid film.In addition,the hybrid surface possesses the heat transfer characteristics of both superhydrophilic and superhydrophobic walls.The hybrid condensation section exhibited the lowest thermal resistance by 0.45 K/W at the heat flux of 10731 W/m^(2).The thermal resistance is reduced by 13.1%and 5.4%,respectively,compared to the superhydrophobic and superhydrophilic conditions.The proposed surface-modification method for achieving highly efficient condensation heat transfer is helpful for the design and operation of device-cooling components.
