Measurement of Critical Contact Angle in a Microgravity Space Experiment
Mathematical theory predicts that small changes in container shape or in contact angle can give rise to large shifts of liquid in a microgravity environment. This phenomenon was investigated in the Interface Configuration Experiment on board the NASA USML-2 Space Shuttle flight. The experiment’s “double proboscis” containers were designed to strike a balance between conflicting requirements of ...
متن کاملExperimental investigation of evaporation from low-contact-angle sessile droplets.
Evaporating sessile drops remain pinned at the contact line during much of the evaporation process, and leave a ring of residue on the surface upon dryout. The intensive mass loss near the contact line causes solute particles to flow to the edge of the droplet and deposit at the contact line. The high vapor diffusion gradient and the low thermal resistance of the film near the contact line are ...
متن کاملThe Thermodynamic Characterization of Wetting by Submitting a Sessile Drop to Microgravity
A new technique, the sessile drop accelerometry (SDACC) for the study and measurement of the interfacial energies of solid-liquid-gas systems is tested and discussed in this study. The instrument –a combination of a goniometer with high speed camera and a laboratory drop towerand the evaluation method, were designed to evaluate the interfacial energies as a function of the geometrical changes o...
متن کاملFootprint geometry and sessile drop resonance.
In this work, we examine experimentally the resonance of a sessile drop with a square footprint (square drop) on a flat plate. Two families of modal behaviors are reported. One family is identified with the modes of sessile drops with circular footprints (circular drop), denoted as "spherical modes." The other family is associated with Faraday waves on a square liquid bath (square Faraday waves...
متن کاملCorrection to "Contact Angle of Sessile Drops in Lennard-Jones Systems".
Molecular dynamics simulations are used for studying the contact angle of nanoscale sessile drops on a planar solid wall in a system interacting via the truncated and shifted Lennard-Jones potential. The entire range between total wetting and dewetting is investigated by varying the solid-fluid dispersive interaction energy. The temperature is varied between the triple point and the critical te...
