US-Hungary Joint Fund Research on Foaminess and Antifoaming Mechanisms (Chemical Engineering)

这项由布达佩斯技术大学的Gyorgy Racz博士和伊利诺伊理工学院的Darash Wasan博士合作开展的美国-匈牙利合作研究项目的主要目标是研究泡沫系统中的泡沫性和消泡过程。研究结果将有助于我们理解动态界面特性对泡沫产生和消泡机理的影响。研究人员将使用混合式泡沫发生器和专门设计的玻璃细胞进行显微观察，并使用普通和差分微干涉测量技术观察膜排水和消泡剂的效果。所获得的数据将相互关联，并作为确定泡沫和消泡过程的基本数据库。该项目的资金由设在布达佩斯的美国-匈牙利联合基金按照既定的指导方针发放。

The primary objective of this US-Hungary cooperative research project between Dr. Gyorgy Racz of the Technical University, Budapest and Dr. Darash Wasan of Illinois Institute of Technology is to investigate foaminess and antifoaming processes in foam systems. Results will contribute to our understanding of the foam generation and antifoaming mechanisms by taking into account effects of dynamic interfacial properties. Researchers will use a mixer-type foam generator and specially designed glass cells for microvisual observations and techniques of common and differential microinterferometry to observe film drainage and the effects of antifoaming agents. Data obtained will be correlated and serve as a basic data bank in determining foaminess and antifoaming processes. Funds for the project are awarded through the US-Hungary Joint Fund, Budapest, in accordance with established guidelines.
