The current understanding and developments in the electrostatic phase separation are
reviewed. The literature covers predominantly two immiscible and inter-dispersed liquids …

Water is co-produced with crude oils, generally in the form of water-in-crude oil emulsions.
The oil and water phases need to be separated before export. Separation is performed in …

Electric field assisted coalescence is one of the most efficient methods for water-in-oil
emulsion separation. In this paper, we experimentally study water droplet evolution in an oil …

The interaction and coalescence of a freely suspended drop pair, aligned in a uniform DC
electric field is investigated using experiments, analytical theory, and numerical calculations …

The method of electrostatic force-assisted phase separation is widely used in the chemical
industry. The fast and clean separation capabilities make electrocoalescence a favorite …

In this work, two machine learning (ML) models for recognizing electrohydrodynamic (EHD)
spraying patterns are developed to guide the process operation to achieve stable cone-jet …

The coalescence of water drops, dispersed in oil, is critical to the destabilization of a water-in-
oil emulsion under an electric field. In this work, we determine the conditions for …

The efficacy of electrocoalescence is critically dependent upon the interfacial tension of the
crude–water interface. This study demonstrates the effect of interfacial tension on the …

We report a facile and noninvasive way to disintegrate a microdroplet into a string of further
miniaturized ones under the influence of an external electrohydrodynamic field inside a …

Use of dielectrophoresis as a tool to maneuver particles (biological, rigid, fluid, etc.) or their
carrier drops is prevalent in various microfluidics and biotechnological applications …
