Wettability, interfacial tension (IFT) and viscosity alteration of nanofluids under electromagnetic (EM) waves for enhanced oil recovery (IFT) applications

Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared and synthesized via sol-gel method, by using citric acid as a precursor. The annealing temperatures were 500 and 800 °C which yielded average particle sizes of 56 and 117 nm, respectively. ZnO nanofluids of two different particle sizes (56 and 117...
