Kinetics of hydrate formation and work of cluster formation (Kashchieve and Firoozabadi,2002,Journal of Crystal Growth).

Lowering of surface energy through adsorption with newly synthesized chemicals by 3M; left, quick imbibtion of water drop in a high energy surface rock; right, a large contact angle as high as 160 for a water drop in a low surface energy rock (Li and Firoozabadi,2000,SPE Reservoir Evaluation and Engineering Journal).

Bubble nucleation in porous media in multicomponent mixtures. The process may play a large share of recovery from vast resource of heavy oils (Tang and Firoozabadi,2005,SPE Journal).
