Interfacial tensions of 10 normal alkane + water/brine and hydrocarbon
mixture + water/brine systems
were measured by using a pendent drop instrument. The temperature
and pressure ranges of
measurements are (25 to 80) °C and (1 to 300) bar, respectively.
The effects of temperature, pressure,
and salt content have been studied. It was found that the
interfacial tension is sensitive to temperature
and salt concentration but weakly dependent on pressure and salt
species.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
