Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleENHANCED CAPILLARY RISE OF WETTING LIQUIDS IN REDUCED GRAVITATIONAL SHIELDING UNDER MICROGRAVITY CONDITIONSGeorge D. Zouganelis, Ioannis Gkigkitzis, Ioannis HaranasWe study the capillary rise of wetting in liquids by slightly modifying Ponomarenko’s result, a recently derived and observed t1/3 law, without omitting the corresponding gravity term and therefore we find hnew (t)≅0.9085hPon (t) instead, which corresponds to a 9% difference. Furthermore, in order to examine the effect of corrected gravity, we extend the result on the surface of a … …Physics International, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 21 Jun 2014 · 7,900 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMicrostructural Study of Al-Si-Mg Alloy Reinforced with Stainless Steel Wires Composite via Casting TechniqueMazlee Mohd. Noor, Shamsul Baharin Jamaludin, Kamarudin HussinThe microstructural study of Al-Si-Mg alloy reinforced with stainless steel wires (Al-Si-Mg/SSw) has been investigated and focused on the both microstructures in the matrix and near to the interface and also the wetting condition at the interface. The wettability of solid metals by liquid metals is very important in determining the needed properties of the composite systems. In this study, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2008 · 6,655 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSensitivity of Okra Growth Indices to Various Moisture ConditionsAkeem MakindeThis study evaluates the effects of flooding conditions on two Okra cultivars (Ibadan local and Jokoso) at Abeokuta, Nigeria. The flooding conditions vary from continuous Flooding (FLD), Wetting after three Days (W3D), Wetting after five Days (W5D), Wetting after seven Days (W7D), and Wetting after ten Days (W10D). The agronomic parameters (leaf width, leaf length, plant height, numbers of leaves, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 4 Aug 2022 · 6,547 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLab-on-Chip Methodology in the Energy Industry: Wettability Patterns and Their Impact on Fluid Displacement in Oil Reservoir ModelsMarc H. Schneider, Patrick TabelingProblem statement: We present an experimental study of multiphase transport in porous media with controlled wettability patterns based on lab-on-chip methodology. Approach: Fractional, or patterned, wettability is known to have an enormous impact in the petroleum industry on oil recovery and continuous efforts are being made to assess the role of such conditions. Results: Thus far, due to the absence … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 10 · 20 Aug 2011 · 7,880 accessesView PDF Cite
