Sessile droplets of aqueous poly(ethylene oxide) solution, with average molecular weight of 100 kDa, are monitored during evaporative drying at ambient conditions over a range of initial concentrations $c_0$. For all droplets with $c_0 \geq…
The effect of viscoelasticity on sprays produced from agricultural flat fan nozzles is investigated experimentally using dilute aqueous solutions of polyethylene oxide (PEO). Measurements of the droplet size distribution using laser…
We experimentally investigate the evaporation dynamics of sessile droplets of a fixed volume consisting of different compositions of ethanol-water binary mixture at different substrate temperatures (T_s). At T_s=25oC, we observe…
In this paper, we present a mathematical model and numerical simulation of the evaporation and drying process of a liquid droplet containing suspended solids. This type of drying is commonly encountered in manufacturing processes such as…
The evaporation dynamics of sessile drops are crucial for material deposition in applications like inkjet printing and pharmaceutical development. However, the evaporation behavior of high molecular weight polymer solutions and their impact…
Droplet coalescence is ubiquitous in nature and the same time key to various technologies, such as inkjet printing. Here, we report on the coalescence of polymer droplets with different chain lengths coalescing on substrates of different…
We employ a multi-phase smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method to study droplet dynamics in shear flow. With an extensive range of Reynolds number, capillary number, wall confinement, and density/viscosity ratio between the droplet…
The morphological paths towards equilibrium droplets during the late stages of the dewetting process of a liquid film from a liquid substrate is investigated experimentally and theoretically. As liquids, short chained polystyrene (PS) and…
We numerically and experimentally investigate evaporation of a sessile droplet on a heated substrate. We develop a finite element (FE) model in two-dimensional axisymmetric coordinates to solve coupled transport of heat in the droplet and…
The present study examines evaporative cooling and the resulting deposition patterns of a sessile $Al_2O_3$-based nanofluid droplet on a hydrophobic glass substrate at different temperatures. Evaporation predominantly occurs in the pinned…
The pattern and profile of a dried colloidal deposit formed after evaporation of a sessile water droplet containing polystyrene particles on a non-uniformly heated glass are investigated experimentally. In particular, the effects of…
Vapor pressures were measured for the system chloroform/polyethylene oxide (peo, weight average molar mass = 1000 kg/mol) at 25 degrees centigrade as a function of the weight fraction w of the polymer by means of a combination of head space…
Spilling tea or coffee leads to a tell-tale circular stain after the droplet dries, known as the "coffee ring effect". The evaporation of suspension droplets is a complex physical process, and predicting and controlling the particle deposit…
Evaporating droplets of polymer or colloid solution may produce a glassy crust at the liquid-vapour interface, which subsequently deforms as an elastic shell. For sessile droplets, the known radial outward flow of solvent is expected to…
We experimentally investigate the profile and morphology of the ring-like deposits obtained after evaporation of a sessile water droplet containing polystyrene colloidal particles on a hydrophilic glass substrate. In particular, the coupled…
The evaporation of sessile droplets placed in close proximity is influenced by complex vapor-vapor interactions, producing a shielding effect that can significantly extend droplet lifetimes. This study presents a systematic experimental…
Here we demonstrate that the time-evolving interface observed during droplet formation, and consequently the resulting morphology nearing pinch-off, encode sufficient physical information for machine-learning (ML) frameworks to accurately…
The method of formation of nanoparticle aggregates such as high-coverage spherical shells of microspheres or 3-D micro crystals grown in the geometry unaffected by a substrate is described. In the reported experiment, the evaporation of…
Drying complex fluids is a common phenomenon where a liquid phase transforms into a dense or porous solid. This transformation involves several physical processes, such as the diffusion of liquid molecules into the surrounding atmosphere…
Mechanical degradation of dilute solutions of polyethylene oxide (PEO) via chain scission was investigated within a turbulent pipe flow. Comparisons of the drag reduction performance with and without degradation were made by matching the…
