Key Points

The study aims to model the electrocoalescence process of unequal-sized water droplets in an electric field.
Molecular dynamics simulation used to analyze droplet behavior.
Droplets of different sizes subjected to a direct current electric field.
Dynamic interactions between droplets observed and analyzed.
Electrocoalescence significantly enhances the separation efficiency of droplets.
Smaller droplets coalesce more readily with larger ones under electric fields.
The applied electric field influences droplet dynamics and coalescence rates.

Implication

Molecular dynamics simulation reveals droplet separation dynamics in electric fields, indicating improved efficiency in oil-water mixtures.

Abstract

Electrocoalescence effectively enables the high‑performance separation of finely dispersed water droplets from oils. Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation modelled the dynamic process of unequal-sized pure water droplets under a direct current...
