TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined how low surfactant concentration affects foam destabilization and elucidate the interplay between free drainage and bubble size variation, showing that moderately stable foams depend largely on surfactants below the critical micelle concentration (SDS).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined foam stability through solid-fluids interactions between solid particles of hydrocarbon reservoirs and aqueous foam and found that foam in the presence of solid particles is a function of density, shape, size, and wettability of particles where monolayer, bilayer of network or particles stabilise foam lamella or rupture foam structure.

TL;DR: The results of both experiments and simulations indicate that foam additives play an essential role in foam stability and the synergic effects of surfactants and nanoparticles exhibit more favorable performance.

TL;DR: In this paper, the microscopic characteristics of foams stabilized by viscoelastic surfactant (EAPB) and nanoparticles (SiO2) at different temperature were investigated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the first experimental study of surface wettability-independent critical heat flux (CHF) during boiling crisis with foaming solutions and observe a power law exponent of half between the CHF and the bubble size.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the effect of Hexa decyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) nanoemulsion on the performance of conventional waterflooding process.
