快速降压下Tween20 液滴真空闪蒸特性

为探究闪蒸喷雾冷却的微观机理, 设计并搭建了液滴悬挂式真空闪蒸实验装置, 利用可视化窗口探究Tween20 液滴闪蒸过程中的闪蒸特性及气泡生长机理. 液滴在快速降压过程中形态会经历气泡成核、气泡生长、伴随气泡生长、爆裂这四个阶段的变化, 并反复循环这一过程直至液滴稳定蒸发. 对于液滴温度的变化, 闪蒸室的终态压力起到了决定性的作用, 并且其终态温度随压力的升高明显上升. 同时通过液滴闪蒸过程形态图分析发现, 液滴在剧烈爆炸阶段其温度也发生明显下降; 在稳定蒸发阶段, 其温度也将开始稳定不变. 因此可知液滴的剧烈爆炸会带走其自身的大量热量. 而 Tween20 浓度对液滴温度的影响微乎其微, 但其会使液滴内气泡的初始成核时间发生明显滞后, 并抑制液滴内的气泡发生破裂.

低压蒸汽滴状冷凝表面温度分布实验研究

本文利用自组装技术制备了铜基十八烷基硫醇疏水表面(SAM),通过红外热像仪分析了低压条件下液滴表面和换热表面的温度分布以及液滴脱落引起的温度分布演变。实验结果表明:低压蒸汽冷凝条件下,冷凝表面局部温度分布不均匀;单个液滴表面温度呈中心高边缘低的凸型分布;随着液滴半径的增加,液滴表面温度升高;相同操作压力下,随着过冷度的增加,液滴表面温度降低。在液滴脱落过程中,液滴表面温度逐渐升高,同时裸露出的换热表面局部过冷度增大,局部表面温度呈现出中心低周围高的凹型温度分布,随之恢复到液滴脱落前的温度。随着蒸汽压力降低,冷凝临界过冷度增加,导致裸露表面上具有更低温度的中心区域核化点密度高,最终加剧了整个换热表面液滴尺寸分布的非均匀程度。

超临界环境条件对碳氢燃料液滴燃烧特性的影响

利用开发的液滴燃烧模型,研究了环境压力、温度以及液滴初始温度对液滴燃烧特性的影响。结果表明:在燃料的临界压力下液滴的燃烧寿命最短。随着环境压力的升高,着火延迟逐渐缩短,火焰半径逐渐减小,并且火焰温度在快速上升期的上升速度逐渐减慢。随着环境温度的升高,液滴寿命和着火延迟均逐渐变短,火焰半径逐渐增大。随着液滴初始温度的升高,液滴寿命和着火延迟均线性减小,液滴初始温度只会使液滴的燃烧过程整体提前或延后。

An experimental investigation into the icing and melting process of a water droplet impinging onto a superhydrophobic surface

The freezing and melting process of a small water droplet on a superhydrophobic cold surface was investigated using the Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF) technique. The superhydrophobic surface was prepared using a sol-gel method on a red copper test plate. From the obtained fluorescence images, the phase transition characteristics during the freezing and melting process of a water droplet were clearly observed. It was found that, at the beginning of the droplet freezing process, liquid water turned into ice at a very fast rate. Such phase transition process decreased gradually with time and the volume of frozen ice approached a constant value at the end of the icing process. In addition, the freezing time was found to reduce with the decrease of the test plate temperature. Besides, when the test plate temperature is relatively high, the effect of droplet volume on the freezing time is very significant. Over all, we provide some tentative insights into the microphysical process related to the icing and melting process of water droplets.     

A molecular dynamics study of fuel droplet evaporation in sub- and supercritical conditions

Evaporation processes of a fuel droplet under sub- and supercritical ambient conditions have been studied using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Suspended n-dodecane droplets of various initial diameters evaporating into a nitrogen environment are considered. Both ambient pressure and temperature are varied from sub- to supercritical values, crossing the critical condition of the chosen fuel. Temporal variation in the droplet diameter is obtained and the droplet lifetime is recorded. The time at which supercritical transition happens is determined by calculating the temperature and concentration distributions of the system and comparing with the critical mixing point of the n-dodecane/nitrogen binary system. The dependence of evaporation characteristics on ambient conditions and droplet size is quantified. It is found that the droplet lifetime decreases with increasing ambient pressure and/or temperature. Supercritical transition time decreases with increasing ambient pressure and temperature as well. The droplet heat-up time as well as subcritical to supercritical transition time increases linearly with the initial droplet size d₀, while the droplet lifetime increases linearly with ${\mathrm{d}}_0^2$. A regime diagram is obtained, which indicates the subcritical and supercritical regions as a function of ambient temperature and pressure as well as the initial droplet size.     

Hawking radiation and page curves of the black holes in thermal environment

As realistic objects in the Universe, the black holes are surrounded by complex environment. By taking the effect of thermal environment into account, we investigate the evaporation process and the time evolutions (page curves) of the entanglement entropies of Hawking radiation of various types of black holes. It is found that the black holes with the thermal environments evaporate slower than those without the environments due to the environmental contribution of the energy flux in addition to Hawking radiation. For Schwarzschild black hole and Reissner-Nordström black hole in flat spaces, when the initial temperature of the black hole is higher than the environment temperature, the black holes evaporate completely and the Hawking radiation is eventually purified. For Schwarzschild-AdS black hole, it will evaporate completely and the Hawking radiation is purified when the environment temperature is lower than the critical temperature. Otherwise, it will reach an equilibrium state with the environment and the radiation is maximally entangled with the black hole. Our results indicate that the final state of the black hole is determined by the environmental temperature and the temporal evolution and the speed of the information purification process characterized by the page curve of the Hawking radiation is also influenced by the thermal environment significantly.     

Determination of Size,Evaporation Rate and Freezing of Water Droplets using light scattering and radiation pressure

Two independent optical diagnostic techniques for studying the evaporation and freezing of optically levitated droplets are described. In the first technique the size of the droplet is determined by evaluation of the fringe spacing of the light scattered in the forward hemisphere at a scattering angle of 45°. The other technique evaluates the oscillations of optically leviated droplets caused by fluctuations in the radiation pressure. The frequency of these fluctuations is a direct measure for the change of radius with time. In both methods the signals change drastically when freezing of the droplet occurs. Hence the moment of freezing can easily be detected.
