Abstract

The paper presents results of experimental research on influence of air velocity on characteristic dimensions, spreading ratio and evaporation time of a droplet. The relation between the velocity that initiates droplet's motion and the temperature of the surface has been under research, too, and is presented in the paper as well. The research allows determination of the droplet's rest and motion areas on the wall surface.

Analysis of the evaporation process for water droplet on flat heated surface

Journal Article Rymkiewicz, J ; Zapalowicz, Z

The paper presents the vaporization process of a water droplet on a flat surface with initial temperature much lower than the maximum heat flux temperature in nucleate boiling. Water droplet vaporization is different from the process of a liquid vaporization with low boiling temperature described by Zhang and Yang. As the character of wetting the surface is decisive for the whole process, it is proposed to divide the process into three following stages: initial, fundamental and final. In the initial stage, the droplet spreads and forms on the surface. In the fundamental stage, the already formed droplet evaporates preserving itsmore »« less

Simulation of granulated droplet formation from thin film under the influence of an electric field and the effect of condensation and evaporation heat transfer on the transient droplet surface configuration

Conference Yamashita, Katsuya ; Yabe, Akira ; Nariai, Hideki

The granulation phenomenon that occurs on the surface of a liquid film flow upon applying an electric field verified the enhancing effect of heat transfer, for both condensation on a vertical tube and vertical falling evaporation. This granulation phenomenon is only generated on a thin liquid film. To clarify the heat transfer enhancing effect of the granulation phenomenon, the detailed motion and the surface configuration of a droplet need to be clarified. The granulation profile was numerically simulated and compared the calculating enhancement of the heat transfer with experiments in this paper. The calculation one generated droplet conducted in themore »« less
Tuning Superhydrophilic Nanostructured Surfaces to Maximize Water Droplet Evaporation Heat Transfer Performance

Journal Article Wemp, Claire K. ; Carey, Van P. - Journal of Heat Transfer

Spraying water droplets on air fin surfaces is often used to augment the performance of air-cooled Rankine power plant condensers and wet cooling tower heat exchangers for building air-conditioning systems. To get the best performance in such processes, the water droplets delivered to the surface should spread rapidly into an extensive, thin film and evaporate with no liquid leaving the surface due to recoil or splashing. This paper presents predictions of theoretical/computational modeling and results of experimental studies of droplet spreading on thin-layer, nanostructured, superhydrophilic surfaces that exhibit very high wicking rates (wickability) in the porous layer.

Evaporation and wetting dynamics of sessile water droplets on submicron-scale patterned silicon hydrophobic surfaces

Journal Article Choi, Chang Kyoung ; Shin, Dong Hwan ; Lee, Seong Hyuk ; ... - Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering

The evaporation characteristics of 1 l sessile water droplets on hydrophobic surfaces are experimentally examined. The proposed hydrophobic surfaces are composed of submicron diameter and 4.2- m-height silicon post arrays. A digital image analysis algorithm was developed to obtain time-dependent contact angles, contact diameters, and center heights for both non-patterned polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) surfaces and patterned post array surfaces, which have the same hydrophobic contact angles. While the contact angles exhibit three distinct stages during evaporation in the non-patterned surface case, those in the patterned silicon post array surface case decrease linearly. In the case of post array hydrophobic surfaces, themore »« less
Effects of Surface Evaporation and Condensation on the Dynamics of Thin Liquid Films for the Porous Wetted Wall Protection Scheme in IFE Reactors

Journal Article Shin, Seungwon ; Abdel-Khalik, S I ; Juric, Damir ; ... - Fusion Science and Technology

A numerical investigation has been conducted to analyze the fluid dynamic aspects of the porous wetted wall protection scheme for IFE reactor first walls. A level contour reconstruction method has been used to track the three-dimensional evolution of the liquid film surface on porous downward facing walls with different initial film thickness, liquid injection velocity through the porous wall, surface disturbance amplitude, configuration and mode number, liquid properties, and surface inclination angle. Here, we report on the effects of evaporation and condensation at the liquid film surface on the dynamics of film flow, the free surface topology, the frequency ofmore »« less
