How water droplets evaporate on a superhydrophobic substrate.
Evaporation of water droplets on a superhydrophobic substrate, on which the contact line is pinned, is investigated. While previous studies focused mainly on droplets with contact angles smaller than 90°, here we analyze almost the full range of possible contact angles (10°-150°). The greater contact angles and pinned contact lines can be achieved by use of superhydrophobic carbon nanofiber sub...
متن کاملWater on Mars and Venus
This paper reviews evidence relating to the abundance of water on early Mars and Venus from measurements of the present abundance of hydrogen compounds, deuterium to hydrogen (D/H) ratios and escape fluxes. For Mars, recent measurements of D/H ratios in SNC hydrous minerals provide data on the ratios at earlier times to augment present atmospheric values. Interpretation of these data shows that...
متن کاملSample Return from “water” Seeps on Mars
Motivation: Some of the most intriguing science discoveries on Mars came from sites that are currently inaccessible for in-situ analysis and sample return. The recent discovery of recurring slope lineae (RSL), such as those observed in Newton crater, are on steep slopes (25° – 40°) that are hundreds of meters down from the crater rim. In-situ analysis and sample capture of out-flow deposits tha...
متن کاملHow do drops evaporate?
Abstract We consider evaporation of pure liquid drops on a thermally conductive substrate. Two evaporative models are considered: one that concentrates on the liquid phase in determining evaporative flux, and the other one that centers on the gas/vapor phase. A single governing equation for the evolution of drop thickness, including both models, is developed. Experiments are used to estimate re...
متن کاملMars: occurrence of liquid water.
In the absence of juvenile liquid water, condensation of water vapor to ice and subsequent melting of ice are the only means of producing liquid water on the martian surface. However, the evaporation rate is so high that the available heat sources cannot melt pure ice. Liquid water is therefore limited to concentrated solutions of strongly deliquescent salts.
