A hierarchical levitating cluster containing transforming small aggregates of water droplets
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new type of levitating droplet cluster composed often transforming small aggregates water droplets is described for the first time. Unlike earlier observed clusters controlled by aerodynamic forces, which formed either an ordered hexagonal structure or a chain structure, under consideration has hierarchical organization. Small groups closely spaced packed with interactions electrostatic force are combined into larger structures forces. Since charged in nucleus do not have dynamically stable configurations, keep continuously restructuring. However, lower charges external layers form structure. Levitating build groups.

Heterogeneous freezing of water droplets containing kaolinite particles
Clouds composed of both ice particles and supercooled liquid water droplets exist at temperatures above ∼236 K. These mixed phase clouds, which strongly impact climate, are very sensitive to the presence of solid particles that can catalyse freezing. In this paper we describe experiments to determine the conditions at which the clay mineral kaolinite nucleates ice when immersed within water dro...
متن کاملPlasma diagnostics in air plasmas containing water droplets
Atmospheric pressure plasmas are emerging as an effective means to produce reactive nitrogen species (RNS) in water with potential applications in irrigation with plasma-treated water for enhanced agriculture. Indeed, roles of RNS, mainly nitric oxide (NO), nitrite (NO2 ) and nitrate (NO3 ) in plant biology have been well studied [1]. The acidity and RNS concentration in treated water have been...
متن کاملCalculation of Evaporation Rate of a Droplets Cluster and Conceptual Design of a Structure Utilizing Water Droplets for Evaporation
It has been known that workers of a honey bee colony bring water droplets into their hive, spraying it on the frames and brood cells, and fanning their wings when ambient temperature rises higher than appropriate. Meanwhile several species from Namibian beetles demonstrate unique water harvesting strategies from the morning fog via the bumps and troughs above their elytra, where water droplets ...
متن کاملQuasicrystals as cluster aggregates.
Quasicrystals are solids that exhibit symmetries long thought forbidden in nature. Since their discovery in a rapidly solidified Al-Mn alloy in 1984, the central issue in the field has been to understand why they form. Are they energetically stable compounds or stabilized by entropy? In recent years, major strides have been made in determining atomic structure, largely by direct imaging using a...
متن کاملMembrane-Integrated Glass Capillary Device for Preparing Small-Sized Water-in-Oil-in-Water Emulsion Droplets.
In this study, a membrane-integrated glass capillary device for preparing small-sized water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) emulsion droplets is demonstrated. The concept of integrating microfluidics to prepare precise structure-controlled double emulsion droplets with the membrane emulsification technique provides a simple method for preparing small-sized and structure-controlled double emulsion dropl...
