Wettability has a dramatic impact on fluid displacement in porous media. The pore level physics of one liquid being displaced by another is a strong function of the wetting characteristics of the channel walls. However, the quantification of the effect is still not clear. Conflicting data have shown that in some oil displacement experiments in rocks, the volume of trapped oil falls as the porous media becomes less water-wet, while in some microfluidic experiments the volume of residual oil is higher in oil-wet media. The reasons for this discrepancy are not fully understood. In this study, we analyzed oil displacement by water injection in two microfluidic porous media with different wettability characteristics that had capillaries with constrictions. The resulting oil ganglia size distribution at the end of water injection was quantified by image processing. The results show that in the oil-wet porous media, the displacement front was more uniform and the final volume of remaining oil was smaller, with a much smaller number of large oil ganglia and a larger number of small oil ganglia, when compared to the water-wet media.

The surface morphology and microstructure of galvannealed steel sheet (GA) coatings prepared at different galvannealing parameters were analyzed by X-ray diffraction and SEM, and powdering amount of GA coating was investigated by the double-Olsen powdering tester. The results show that when the Al contents below 0.16 wt%, the Ra of GA coating surface was measured namely below 1.0 μm, and powdering amount of GA coating was below 30 mg/m2, it is within a reasonable value required by automotive makers. After that with the Al contents increased in zinc liquid the amount of powdering increased, this means that the powdering resistance performance of GA coating not only depended on the iron content in the coating, but depended on the roughness profiles of the surface coating. When the galvanizing coating with 0.22 wt% Al content and galvannealing at 500 °C, with the inhibition effect of Fe2Al5Znxinhibit layer, the thickness of δ1k-phase was different in the GA coating, which deteriorated the powdering resistance performance of GA coating.

Knowledge of the fate and transport of nanoparticles in the subsurface environment is limited, as techniques to monitor and visualize the transport and distribution of nanoparticles in porous media and measure their in situ concentrations are lacking. To address these issues, we have developed a light transmission and fluorescence method to visualize and measure in situ concentrations of quantum dot (QD) nanoparticles in variably saturated environments. Calibration cells filled with sand as porous medium and various known water saturation levels and QD concentrations were prepared. By measuring the intensity of the light transmitted through porous media exposed to fluorescent light and by measuring the hue of the light emitted by the QDs under UV light exposure, we obtained simultaneously in situ measurements of water saturation and QD nanoparticle concentrations with high spatial and temporal resolutions. Water saturation was directly proportional to the light intensity. A linear relationship was observed between hue-intensity ratio values and QD concentrations for constant water saturation levels. The advantages and limitations of the light transmission and fluorescence method as well as its implications for visualizing and measuring in situ concentrations of QDs nanoparticles in the subsurface environment are discussed.
