On the Mechanism of Drop Self-Shaping in Cooled Emulsions.
Two recent studies (Denkov et al., Nature 2015, 528, 392 and Guttman et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A.2016, 113, 493) demonstrated that micrometer-sized n-alkane drops, dispersed in aqueous surfactant solutions, can break their spherical symmetry upon cooling and self-shape into a variety of regular shapes, such as fluid polyhedra, platelet-shaped hexagons, triangles, rhomboids, toroids, and...
متن کاملDrop sizes and particle coverage in emulsions stabilised solely by silica nanoparticles of irregular shape.
We have investigated emulsions stabilised solely by partially-hydrophobised fumed silica particles which consist of a mixture of primary particles and irregularly-shaped fused aggregates and larger agglomerates. The particle wettability is controlled by varying the extent of hydrophobisation of their surfaces. This, in turn, controls the contact angle between the oil-water interface and the par...
متن کاملUltra Low Pressure-drop Helium-cooled Porous-tungsten Pfc
A new class of helium-cooled high heat-flux plasma facing heat exchanger (HX) concept is presented. These unique “Foam-In-Tube” HX concepts are composed of a thin tungsten shell integrally bonded to an open-cell tungsten foam core. High heat flux tests show maximum heat loads of 22.4 MW/m using 4 MPa helium at a flow rate of 27 g/s. Based on these impressive performance results, a unique and sc...
متن کاملMorphological transformations of native petroleum emulsions. I. Viscosity studies.
Emulsions of water in as-recovered native crude oils of diverse geographical origin evidently possess some common morphological features. At low volume fractions varphi of water, the viscosity behavior of emulsions is governed by the presence of flocculated clusters of water droplets, whereas characteristic tight gels, composed of visually monodisperse small droplets, are responsible for the vi...
متن کاملShape transformations of toroidal vesicles.
Morphologies of genus-1 and 2 toroidal vesicles are studied numerically by dynamically triangulated membrane models and experimentally by confocal laser microscopy. Our simulation results reproduce shape transformations observed in our experiments well. At large reduced volumes of the genus-1 vesicles, obtained vesicle shapes agree with the previous theoretical prediction, in which axisymmetric...
