The infiltration of nonwetting liquid into nanoporous media and the thermal effect

Abstract

In the present work we formulate a model of infiltration nonwetting liquid into the nanoporous medium. This model takes into account the correlation effects in a disordered medium and is based on analytic methods of percolation theory. The infiltration of porous medium is treated as a process of filling pores in an infinite cluster of pores connected with each other. In the framework of the developed model we describe thermal effects that accompany the accumulation of energy by system characterized by different porosity. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
