👉 An embedded fluid, also known as a dispersed phase in a continuous phase, refers to a substance that is physically mixed within another substance, known as the continuous phase, but does not form a homogeneous mixture. This can occur in various forms such as droplets, bubbles, or particles suspended within the continuous phase. For example, in oil-water emulsions, tiny droplets of oil are dispersed throughout water, creating an embedded fluid. These embedded fluids play crucial roles in numerous applications, including chemical reactions, material processing, and biological systems, where their unique properties can significantly influence the behavior and performance of the overall system.
