Hypothesis: Surfactant redistribution in a liquid bridge close to drop detachment depends on competition between the bridge deformation rate and surfactant equilibration rate. Surfactant effect can be different in situations when diffusion coefficient changes independently of thinning kinetics or in line with it. Using moderately viscous liquids should allow both situations to be explored experimentally. Experiments: Formation of liquid drops at the tip of capillary is studied experimentally for silicone oils and for surfactant-laden and surfactant-free water/glycerol mixtures of moderate viscosity with particular attention to the kinetics of liquid bridge close to pinch-off and formation of satellite droplets. Findings: Effect of surfactant depends on the dynamic regime of the bridge thinning. In the presence of surfactant, inertial kinetics slows down close to pinch-off demonstrating effective surface tension smaller than dynamic surface tension. An acceleration of thinning kinetics caused by depletion of surfactant from the liquid bridge was observed in viscous and visco-inertial regimes. The size of satellite droplets has a maximum versus viscosity; increasing with surfactant concentration at smaller viscosities and decreasing with an increase of surfactant concentration at largest studied viscosity, where inversion of the pinch-off point was observed for surfactant solutions.

Thermomechanical Responses of Microcracks in a Honeycomb Particulate Filter

Siddhant Naudiyal, Martha Briceno de Gutierrez, Richard Greenwood, Paul Bowen, Mark Simmons, Stuart Blackburn, Hugh Stitt, Darren Gobby, Aswani Mogalicherla

Summary: Manufacturing honeycomb-structured catalysts requires understanding the microstructure of the solid substrate and its dependence on thermal-processing conditions. The thermal responses of microcracks in an uncoated microcracked aluminum titanate honeycomb catalyst were investigated by analyzing resonance frequency. Microcracks were observed to have two healing responses: instantaneous and delayed healing, which significantly influence catalyst manufacturing design.

Comparison between RANS and 3D-PTV measurements of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid flows in a stirred vessel in the transitional regime

M. G. Romano, F. Alberini, L. Liu, M. J. H. Simmons, E. H. Stitt

Summary: This study simulated Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid flows in a vessel stirred with a Rushton turbine using CFD. The results were compared to 3D-PTV measurements. For Newtonian fluids, the turbulence models predicted similar mean flow and matched experimental velocity data well. The standard k-e model showed the closest power number to expected values and resolved a significant portion of the total energy dissipation. However, simulations of non-Newtonian flows presented challenges in reproducing the measured flow patterns and predicting mean velocity accurately. Nonetheless, the predictions for yield stress fluids were reasonably consistent with experimental observations.

Interface Adsorption versus Bulk Micellization of Surfactants: Insights from Molecular Simulations

Matej Kanduc, Cosima Stubenrauch, Reinhard Miller, Emanuel Schneck

Summary: Surfactants play important roles in everyday applications and industrial processes. However, the characteristic time scales of surfactant exchange pose challenges for atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. In this study, a framework combining thermodynamic principles and atomistic MD simulations was introduced, which provided a full thermodynamic description and connected the experimental control parameter with the suitable control parameter in MD simulations. The results showed a semiquantitative agreement between simulation and experimental data, but also highlighted opportunities for improving the current atomistic models in predicting surfactant affinities to aggregates.

Surfactant Adsorption Layers: Experiments and Modeling

V. I. Kovalchuk, E. V. Aksenenko, E. Schneck, R. . Miller

Summary: In recent years, significant progress has been made in the understanding of surfactant adsorption at liquid interfaces. New efficient methodologies, particularly interfacial selective optical methods, have been developed to directly access the adsorbed amounts and interfacial layer compositions. Thermodynamic equations of state provide a quantitative framework for describing surfactant interfacial layers, especially at water/oil interfaces. Molecular modeling techniques have also contributed to the understanding of interfacial layer structures. Improving the interrelationships between these aspects is a challenge for current and future research, with particular focus on dilational interfacial rheology studies.

Analyzing drop coalescence in microfluidic devices with a deep learning generative model

Kewei Zhu, Sibo Cheng, Nina Kovalchuk, Mark Simmons, Yi-Ke Guo, Omar K. Matar, Rossella Arcucci

Summary: In this study, the use of deep learning generative models is proposed to predict drop coalescence in chemical engineering. By training the predictive models with generated synthetic data, the lack of training data and label imbalance problem can be overcome. A novel generative model called DSCVAE is developed for labelled tabular data, which is capable of generating consistent and realistic samples compared to the standard CVAE. By enhancing random forest and gradient boosting classifiers on synthetic data and evaluating their performances based on real experimental data, numerical results show a considerable improvement in prediction accuracy, with DSCVAE outperforming the standard CVAE. This research provides valuable insights into handling imbalanced data for classification problems, particularly in chemical engineering.

Surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) as a template for porous polymer synthesis

Jonas Blahnik, Jennifer Schuster, Rainer Mueller, Eva Mueller, Werner Kunz

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between the morphology of PMMA monopolymers and PMMA-PHEMA copolymers with the expected nature of surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) before polymerization. It is found that previously mesostructured, surfactant-free mixtures can produce porous polymers of different morphologies, while unstructured, oil-rich regions lead to solid, transparent polymers without nanostructured morphologies. Additionally, a surfactant-based reference system shows similar phase behavior and polymer morphologies as the comparable surfactant-free system, indicating the importance of the hydrotropic behavior of HEMA in this system.
