Liquid Droplet in Contact with a Solid Surface
نویسندگان
چکیده
A liquid droplet in contact with a solid surface was simulated by the molecular dynamics method, in order to study the microscopic aspects of the liquid-solid contact phenomena and phase change heat transfer. Measured ‘contact angle’ was well correlated by the depth of the integrated potential of the surface. The layered liquid structure near the surface was also explained with the integrated potential field. Furthermore, the evaporation and condensation through the droplet were simulated by preparing two solid surfaces with temperature differences on the top and bottom of the calculation domain. Over all heat flux and temperature distributions of droplets were measured.

Theoretical Model of Droplet Wettability on a Low-Surface-Energy Solid under the Influence of Gravity
The wettability of droplets on a low surface energy solid is evaluated experimentally and theoretically. Water-ethanol binary mixture drops of several volumes are used. In the experiment, the droplet radius, height, and contact angle are measured. Analytical equations are derived that incorporate the effect of gravity for the relationships between the droplet radius and height, radius and conta...

متن کاملAdsorption energy as a metric for wettability at the nanoscale
Wettability is the affinity of a liquid for a solid surface. For energetic reasons, macroscopic drops of liquid form nearly spherical caps. The degree of wettability is then captured by the contact angle where the liquid-vapor interface meets the solid-liquid interface. As droplet volumes shrink to the scale of attoliters, however, surface interactions become significant, and droplets assume di...
