Evaporating drops of alkane mixtures
نویسندگان
چکیده
Alkane mixtures are model systems where the influence of surface tension gradients during the spreading and the evaporation of wetting drops can be easily studied. The surface tension gradients are mainly induced by concentration gradients, mass diffusion being a stabilising process. Depending on the relative concentration of the mixture, a rich pattern of behaviours is obtained. keywords Moving contact line, evaporating drops.

"Self-Shaping" of Multicomponent Drops.
In our recent study we showed that single-component emulsion drops, stabilized by proper surfactants, can spontaneously break symmetry and transform into various polygonal shapes during cooling [ Denkov Nature 2015 , 528 , 392 - 395 ]. This process involves the formation of a plastic rotator phase of self-assembled oil molecules beneath the drop surface. The plastic phase spontaneously forms a ...
متن کاملDynamics and universal scaling law in geometrically-controlled sessile drop evaporation
The evaporation of a liquid drop on a solid substrate is a remarkably common phenomenon. Yet, the complexity of the underlying mechanisms has constrained previous studies to spherically symmetric configurations. Here we investigate well-defined, non-spherical evaporating drops of pure liquids and binary mixtures. We deduce a universal scaling law for the evaporation rate valid for any shape and...
متن کاملStudy of the thermal diffusion behavior of alkane/benzene mixtures by thermal diffusion forced rayleigh scattering experiments and lattice model calculations.
In this work the thermal diffusion behavior of binary mixtures of linear alkanes (heptane, nonane, undecane, tridecane, pentadecane, heptadecane) in benzene has been investigated by thermal diffusion forced Rayleigh scattering (TDFRS) for a range of concentrations and temperatures. The Soret coefficient ST of the alkane was found to be negative for these n-alkane/benzene mixtures indicating tha...
متن کاملMolecular and thermal diffusion coefficients of alkane-alkane and alkane-aromatic binary mixtures: effect of shape and size of molecules.
New molecular and thermal diffusion coefficients of binary mixtures of normal decane-normal alkanes and methylnaphthalene-normal alkanes are measured at atmospheric pressure and T = 25 degrees C. The normal alkanes used in this work include nC5-nC20. Thermal diffusion coefficients were measured in a thermogravitational column. Molecular diffusion coefficients were measured using an open-ended c...
متن کاملPredicting the High-Pressure Phase Equilibria of Binary Mixtures of Perfluoro-n-alkanes + n-Alkanes Using the SAFT-VR Approach
The phase behavior of perfluoro-(n)-alkane + (n)-alkane binary mixtures is of particular interest given their unexpected large positive deviations from Raoult’s law. Binary mixtures of perfluoromethane + (n)-alkanes from methane to heptane are studied here, illustrating the continuous change in phase behavior from type II to type III that these systems exhibit. Some symmetrical systems that dis...
