Thermal delay of drop coalescence
We present the results of a combined experimental and theoretical study of drop coalescence in the presence of an initial temperature difference 1T0 between a drop and a bath of the same liquid. We characterize experimentally the dependence of the residence time before coalescence on 1T0 for silicone oils with different viscosities. Delayed coalescence arises above a critical temperature differ...
متن کاملDrop deformation, breakup, and coalescence with compatibilizer
The effect of copolymers on the breakup and coalescence of polybutadiene ~PB! drops in polydimethylsiloxane ~PDMS! is studied using a four-roll mill flow cell. Copolymers are produced at the interface by a reaction between functionalized homopolymers. They reduce the interfacial tension and thus enhance breakup; they also inhibit coalescence of drops. Under the conditions of our experiments, th...
متن کاملThe Influence of Bicomponent Mixed Surfactants on Drop/Interface Coalescence
Effects of binary mixtures of ionic/nonionic (sodium dodecyl sulfate/2-heptanol or 1-decanol) and nonionic/nonionic surfactants (2-heptnol/1-decanol) on drop/interface coalescence of water drops in a continuous n-heptane phase were examined. The drop size reduced appreciably and the multi-step coalescence was suppressed finally as the concentration of each of the constituting components</em...
متن کامل3d Numerical Simulation of Drop Coalescence∗
The major importance of drop coalescence in a number of natural and industrial processes provides the motivation for fundamental experimental and theoretical studies on its mechanics. One of the main difficulties of such investigations is related with the presence of a thin liquid film, typically of order 10−4 of the drop size. In numerical studies of coalescence this requires very fine spatial...
متن کاملAsymmetric drop coalescence launches fungal ballistospores with directionality.
Thousands of fungal species use surface energy to power the launch of their ballistospores. The surface energy is released when a spherical Buller's drop at the spore's hilar appendix merges with a flattened drop on the adaxial side of the spore. The launching mechanism is primarily understood in terms of energetic models, and crucial features such as launching directionality are unexplained. I...
