The dissolution of liquid nanodroplets is a crucial step in many applied processes, such as separation and dispersion in food industry, crystal formation of pharmaceutical products, concentrating and analysis in medical diagnosis, and drug…
In the presence of a chemically active particle, a nearby chemically inert particle can respond to a concentration gradient and move by diffusiophoresis. The nature of the motion is studied for two cases: first, a fixed reactive sphere and…
The current conceptual model of mineral dissolution in porous media is comprised of three dissolution patterns (wormhole, compact, and uniform) - or regimes - that develop depending on the relative dominance of flow, diffusion, and reaction…
