Steady State Analysis of Nanofuel Droplet Evaporation
The potential for nanofuels as one of the clean sources of energy on account of its enhanced combustion performance coupled with low emissions has been established. Considering the importance of the fuel evaporation phase in the entire combustion process, this work presents an attempt at applying the steady state analysis equations to nanofuel experimental data obtained from the li...
متن کاملAll-terrain droplet actuation.
Digital microfluidics has become a popular tool for biochemical and biomedical applications. However, its current format is restricted to actuation of droplets on a single plane. Here, we introduce a new method for fluid handling on flexible devices, which we have termed all-terrain droplet actuation (ATDA). We show that ATDA can be used to manipulate droplets across a wide range of geometries,...
متن کاملEvaporation of a Liquid Droplet
Two idealized models for the preheat s tage of liquid droplets are ana lyzed theoretically . These models conta in the effects of transie nt heat conduction and evaporati on. It is assumed that the droplet surface a rea decreases linearly with time. This assumption necessitates the solution of mov ing boundary problems . These models, however, do not consider gas-phase mass transport . In the f...
متن کاملSupplemental Material for “Substrate Curvature Gradient Drives Rapid Droplet Motion”
Glass capillaries with diameters of 1.5 mm were used. The tips of the capillaries were sharpened by a flaming-brown micropipette puller (Model P-1000, Sutter Instrument, USA) to obtain needle-shape capillaries. Anhydrous alcohol (99.5%) and anhydrous toluene (99.9%) were purchased from Shimakyus Pure Chemical (Osaka, Japan) and J. T. Baker (Phillipsburg, NJ, USA). MTS (Methyltrichlorosilane, CH...
متن کاملSoft Actuation of Structured Cylinders through Auxetic Behavior
There has been a recent upsurge in the study of auxetic, or negative Poisson’s ratio, materials that derive functionality from mechanical instabilities of the underlying structure. One of the simplest auxetic designs comprises an elastomeric slab patterned with an array of voids. Under uniaxial compression, the slender ligaments contiguous to the voids buckle cooperatively, resulting in the shr...
