Title: Ballistics of self-jumping microdroplets

Abstract

Water-repellent materials ideally operate at very different liquid scales: from centimeter-size for bugs living on ponds through millimeter-size for antirain functions to micrometer-size for antifogging solids. In the last situation, it was recently evidenced that microdrops condensing on a highly nonadhesive substrate can take advantage from coalescence to jump off the material, even if the dynamical characteristics of the jump were not established at such microscales. We demonstrate in this paper that the jumping speed of drops is nonmonotonic with the drop size, showing a maximum around 5μm (a size commonly observed in dew), below and above which viscous and inertial effects, respectively, impede the takeoff. We quantitatively describe this optimum in antifogging. Here, we also studied the ballistics of the jumping microdrops, from the height they reached to their behavior at landing; a situation where retakeoff is surprisingly found to be nearly unachievable despite the extreme nonwettability of the material.

Antifogging abilities of model nanotextures

Journal Article Mouterde, Timothée ; Lehoucq, Gaëlle ; Xavier, Stéphane ; ... - Nature Materials

Nanometre-scale features with special shapes impart a broad spectrum of unique properties to the surface of insects. These properties are essential for the animal’s survival, and include the low light reflectance of moth eyes, the oil repellency of springtail carapaces and the ultra-adhesive nature of palmtree bugs. Antireflective mosquito eyes and cicada wings are also known to exhibit some antifogging and self-cleaning properties. In all cases, the combination of small feature size and optimal shape provides exceptional surface properties. In this work, we investigate the underlying antifogging mechanism in model materials designed to mimic natural systems, and explain the importancemore »« less

Hierarchical Superhydrophobic Surfaces with Micropatterned Nanowire Arrays for High-Efficiency Jumping Droplet Condensation

Journal Article Wen, Rongfu ; Xu, Shanshan ; Zhao, Dongliang ; ... - ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces

Self-propelled droplet jumping on nanostructured superhydrophobic surfaces is of interest for a variety of industrial applications including self-cleaning, water harvesting, power generation, and thermal management systems. However, the uncontrolled nucleation-induced Wenzel state of condensed droplets at large surface subcooling (high heat flux) leads to the formation of unwanted large pinned droplets, which results in the flooding phenomenon and greatly degrades the heat transfer performance. In this work, we present a novel strategy to manipulate droplet behaviors during the process from the droplet nucleation to growth and departure through a combination of spatially controlling initial nucleation for mobile droplets by closelymore »« less

Ballistic electrons in compound semiconductors

Journal Article Eastman, L F - IEEE Spectrum; (United States)

While evolving lithographic and crystal growth technology gradually are allowing the construction of shorter transistors, the effort to reach the ultimate electron velocity - the ballistic limit - has the potential for dramatically increased frequency response. One particularly promising method for boosting the average electron velocity is to give the electrons a running start: introduce them into the active region as a directed beam at high velocity by a ballistic injector. The transit time of electrons across the active length in a transistor - that is, across the base-collector barrier of a vertical transistor or under the gate of amore »« less

Synchrotron radiation microdiffraction of ballistic molten wax microdrops

Journal Article Graceffa, R ; Burghammer, M ; Davies, R J ; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

Using stroboscopic techniques, diffraction patterns of ballistic paraffin wax microdrops have been observed. The microdrops, generated by a high-temperature ink-jet system, travel through the 1 {mu}m synchrotron radiation beam with a speed of about 1.4 m/s. Diffraction patterns were recorded in flight by a charge couple device with a microchannel plate image intensifier stage, which was activated with the microdrop generation frequency of 1000 Hz during 2 {mu}s. The data show liquid microdrops with a constant temperature up to 8 mm from the ink-jet system capillary exit. The general technique could be adapted for studying fast structural processes, such asmore »« less

Steady-state heat transport: Ballistic-to-diffusive with Fourier's law

Journal Article Maassen, Jesse ; Lundstrom, Mark - Journal of Applied Physics

It is generally understood that Fourier's law does not describe ballistic phonon transport, which is important when the length of a material is similar to the phonon mean-free-path. Using an approach adapted from electron transport, we demonstrate that Fourier's law and the heat equation do capture ballistic effects, including temperature jumps at ideal contacts, and are thus applicable on all length scales. Local thermal equilibrium is not assumed, because allowing the phonon distribution to be out-of-equilibrium is important for ballistic and quasi-ballistic transport. The key to including the non-equilibrium nature of the phonon population is to apply the proper boundarymore »« less
