Abstract
CO2 gas injection is known as one of the most popular enhanced oil recovery techniques for light and medium oil reservoirs, therefore providing an acceptable mass transfer mechanism for CO2–oil systems seems necessary. In this study, interfacial mass transfer coefficient has been evaluated for CO2–normal heptane and CO2–normal hexadecane systems using equilibrium and dynamic interfacial tension data, which have been measured using the pendant drop method. Interface mass transfer coefficient has been calculated as a function of temperature and pressure in the range of 313–393 K and 1.7–8.6 MPa, respectively. The results showed that the interfacial resistance is a parameter that can control...

Abstract
Capillary pressure experiments were performed at the water/hexane interface including adsorption and mass exchange of hexanol under different conditions. The results from growing drop experiments show that instabilities due to Marangoni convection not only depend on the same parameters as have been reported for quasi-static interfaces, such as direction of mass transfer, distribution coefficient and ratio of diffusion coefficients, but also on the experimental conditions such as dispersed phase flow rate, capillary tip size, size of growing drop and its lifetime. Based on a new flow expansion model for mass transfer, a new approach is presented for data analysis, which includes the various...
