腔增强拉曼技术下的过饱和硫酸镁液滴蒸发动力学初探(英文)

本文通过单光束梯度力光学镊子-拉曼光谱系统,对硫酸镁单液滴随着相对湿度变化的反应进行了探究。当硫酸镁单液滴被光镊捕获之后,通过相对湿度的梯度变化探究了捕获液滴的蒸发动力学变化。发生在与耳语回音模相称波长的受激拉曼散射可以用来准确地确定液滴半径,因此,可以通过腔增强拉曼散射得到在不同湿度下处于平衡的液滴半径信息。本研究通过光镊对硫酸镁单液滴的实时监测,阐述了在某个相对湿度范围内该液滴的粒径变化的过程和结果,在此之前的硫酸镁吸湿性研究中没有先例。研究结果表明在相对湿度逐渐降低至40%的过程中硫酸镁液滴半径的变化速率逐渐变小。而当相对湿度低于40%时,液滴半径的减小会被严重抑制。这种现象表示在高浓度条件下硫酸镁液滴中水的蒸发扩散速率会降低。另一方面,在蒸发过程后的相对湿度上升过程中,硫酸镁液滴尺寸的增加明显缓慢于湿度增长速度。这一现象显示液滴的尺寸变化是不可逆的。说明胶态的形成导致了传质受阻,从而阻碍了液滴中水分子的交换。

A molecular dynamics study of effective parameters on nano-droplet surface tension

The main purpose of this paper is to numerically study the effect of droplet radius, temperature, and surface wettability on droplet surface tension. Moreover, the validity of Young-Laplace equation (Y-L) for nano-droplet is examined. Simulations of droplet surrounded by its vapor and droplet on solid surface are carried out and the results are compared to each other in order to comprehend the role of surface wettability on droplet surface tension. The pair potential for the liquid-liquid and liquid-solid interaction is considered using Lennard-Jones model. Different numbers of atoms and surface wettabilities are employed to generate droplet of different radiuses. In addition, contact angle of droplet on solid surface is computed. Pressure tensor and density profile is locally calculated. Furthermore, liquid pressure is evaluated far from the interface using the virial theorem and gas pressure is obtained using an equation of state. In order to calculate the surface tension, two different approaches are employed; Young-Laplace equation and direct molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. The surface tension increases with increase in droplet radius and it is seen that the surface wettability does not directly influence the surface tension.     

Application of the planar laser-induced fluorescence method to determine the temperature field ofwater droplets under intensive heating

Presented are results of experimental investigations concerned with formation of a nonstationary and essentially nonuniform temperature field of a water droplet (initial radius of 1 mm to 2 mm) under intensive heating in a flow of heated air (from 50?C to 1000?C). The method used for this purpose was a noncontact optical planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) method. It is shown that temperature distribution in a water droplet is essentially inhomogeneous even under prolonged heating (to several tens of seconds). Reliability of the results of measurements by the noncontact PLIF method was analyzed by applying a group of fast miniature thermocouples. Restrictions of using the PLIF method for studying temperatures fields of evaporating droplets under high-temperature heating (over 800?C) were marked out. Characteristic times of droplet existence (complete evaporation) were determined. It was analyzed how the temperature difference in a water droplet affects this parameter during heating and intensive phase transitions. It was substantiated that it is expedient to consider essentially inhomogeneous and nonstationary temperature field of a water droplet inmathematical modeling of the heat andmass transfer processes in high-temperature gas–vapor-droplet systems (corresponding, e.g., to burning or heat cleaning of liquids, firefighting, production of composite and gaseous fuels, their combustion, etc.).     

Numerical investigation of temperature effects in materials irradiated by high-energy heavy ions in the framework of heat conduction equation for electrons and lattice

A system of equations for electron gas and lattice around and along the trajectory of a heavy uranium ion with an energy of 700 MeV in nickel at constant heat capacity and heat conduction taken at room temperature is solved numerically in an axially symmetric cylindrical coordinate system. On the basis of the lattice temperature obtained as a function of radius around the ion trajectory and depth, a conclusion is made that the ionization energy losses of a uranium ion in nickel are sufficient for melting and evaporating the material from the surface. The maximum radius and depth of the region in which melting and evaporation take place are estimated.     

Microdroplet targeting induced by substrate curvature

Fundamental understanding of the wettability of curved substrates is crucial for the applications of microdroplets in colloidal science, microfluidics, and heat exchanger technologies. Here we report via lattice Boltzmann simulations and energetic analysis that microdroplets show an ability of transporting selectively to appropriate substrates solely according to substrate shape(curvature), which is called the substrate-curvature-dependent droplet targeting because of its similarity to protein targeting by which proteins are transported to the appropriate destinations in the cell. Two dynamic pathways of droplet targeting are identified: one is the Ostwald ripening-like liquid transport between separated droplets via evaporating droplets on more curved convex(or less curved concave) surfaces and growing droplets on less curved convex(or more curved concave) surfaces, and the other is the directional motion of a droplet through contacting simultaneously substrates of different curvatures. Then we demonstrate analytically that droplet targeting is a thermodynamically driven process. The driving force for directional motion of droplets is the surface-curvature-induced modulation of the work of adhesion, while the Ostwald ripening-like transport is ascribed to the substrate-curvature-induced change of droplet curvature radius. Our findings of droplet targeting are potentially useful for a tremendous range of applications, such as microfluidics, thermal control, and microfabrication.     

Energy transport by thermocapillary convection during Sessile-Water-droplet evaporation

The energy transport mechanisms of a sessile-water droplet evaporating steadily while maintained on a Cu substrate are compared. Buoyancy-driven convection is eliminated, but thermal conduction and thermocapillary convection are active. The dominant mode varies along the interface. Although neglected in previous studies, near the three-phase line, thermocapillary convection is by far the larger mode of energy transport, and this is the region where most of the droplet evaporation occurs.     

光纤式微液滴光学检测与计数单元仿真分析

Stochastic modeling of evaporating sprays within a consistent hybrid joint PDF framework

In the present study, a framework for modeling two-phase evaporating flow is presented, which employs an Eulerian–Lagrangian–Lagrangian approach. For the continuous phase, a joint velocity-composition probability density function (PDF) method is used. Opposed to other approaches, such PDF methods require no modeling for turbulent convection and chemical source terms. For the dispersed phase, the PDF of velocity, diameter, temperature, seen gas velocity and seen gas composition is calculated. This provides a unified formulation, which allows to consistently address the different modeling issues associated with such a system. Because of the high dimensionality, particle methods are employed to solve the PDF transport equations. To further enhance computational efficiency, a local particle time-stepping algorithm is implemented and a particle time-averaging technique is employed to reduce statistical and bias errors. In comparison to previous studies, a significantly smaller number of droplet particles per grid cell can be employed for the computations, which rely on two-way coupling between the droplet and gas phases. The framework was validated using established experimental data and a good overall agreement can be observed.     

Influence of the accommodation coefficient on the water drop evaporation process in a radiation field

The process of water drop evaporation in a field of intense laser radiation is examined on the basis of the hydro-thermodynamics equations under the assumption of quasistationarity in the conditions in the surrounding medium and in the radius. The influence of the accommodation coefficient on heating of the drops on the magnitude of the surface jump in water vapor density and on the position of the upper bound of the convective evaporation region is analyzed. It is shown that the surface jump in the vapor does not alter the rate of convective evaporation of the drop in practice, but can result in substantially different time dependences of the radius of a diffusely evaporating drop as compared with those found without it. The solution obtained is compared with the solution of the problem of evaporation in a Stefan approximation.
