[Figure 2] Composition and analytical model of the pressure drops in capillaries upon immiscible displacement.

Caption

Illustration and analytical model describing the composition of the pressure drops that occur when two fluids (permeate and conventional) move through a capillary. Demonstrates that the flow of fluids is determined by the interaction of capillary pressure and viscous pressure, rather than simply by viscosity or pressure difference.
