Distribution, coalescence, and freezing characteristics of water droplets on surfaces with different wettabilities under subfreezing convective flow

Evaporation of picoliter droplets on surfaces with a range of wettabilities and thermal conductivities.

The evaporation of picoliter water and ethanol droplets generated by drop-on-demand inkjet printing was investigated on substrates with apparent contact angles between 10^{∘} and 135^{∘} and thermal conductivities between 0.25 and 149 Wm^{-1}K^{-1}. Drying times were calculated from a diffusion-limited model for droplets with both pinned and moving contact lines as a function of droplet diamete...

Evaporation Characteristics of Diesel and Biodiesel Fuel Droplets on Hot Surfaces

In CI engines, the evaporation rate of fuel on various hot surfaces, including the combustion chamber, has a significant effect on deposit formation and accumulation, the exhaust emissions of PM and NOx, and their efficiency. Therefore, the evaporation of liquid fuel droplets impinging on hot surfaces has become an important subject of interest to engine designers, manufacturers, and researcher...

experimental and theoretical study of the dynamics of surface evaporation of water droplets on different surfaces

in this paper, the dynamics of evaporation of water droplets on surfaces with different contact angle hysteresis is studied experimentally and theoretically. the evaporation of water droplets on surfaces usually occurs in three distinct stages, namely the constant contact area mode, followed by the constant contact angle mode, and the mixed mode in which both contact angle and contact area are ...

Electro-Coalescence of an Aqueous Droplet at an Oil–Water Interface with an Investigation of Secondary Droplets Formation

Distinct ice patterns on solid surfaces with various wettabilities.

No relationship has been established between surface wettability and ice growth patterns, although ice often forms on top of solid surfaces. Here, we report experimental observations obtained using a process specially designed to avoid the influence of nucleation and describe the wettability-dependent ice morphology on solid surfaces under atmospheric conditions and the discovery of two growth ...
