Experimental studies are conducted in order to elucidate the mechanisms responsible for synergism/antagonism for lowering dynamic interfacial tension in model oil/surfactant/brine systems. A well-defined model oil is selected for controlled design of experiments, thus enhancing verification of known

โฆ Synopsis
The effects of a ready-made surfactant (sodium dodecyl sulfate) on the dynamic interfacial tension between a model acidic oil (linoleic acid dissolved in paraffin oil) and various aqueous alkaline (NaOH) systems have been studied using pendant drop tensiometry at surfactant concentrations both below and above the critical micelle concentration (CMC). Below the CMC the added surfactant contributes significantly to a further reduction of interfacial tension of the reacting acid/alkaline system, whereas above the CMC the added surfactant plays an important role in damping the dynamic trends observed for the reactive system alone.
