Investigation of water and saline solution drops evaporation on a solid substrate

Experimental investigation water and saline solution drops evaporation on a solid substrate made of anodized aluminum is presented in the paper. Parameters characterizing drop profile have been obtained (contact angle, contact diameter, height). The specific evaporation rate has been calculated from obtained values. It was found that water and saline solution drops with concentration up to 9.1% evaporate in the pinning mode. However, with increasing the salt concentration in the solution up to 16.7% spreading mode was observed. Two stages of drop evaporation depending on change of the evaporation rate have been separated

Investigation of drop geometry at free-falling process depending on volume of dozing

Present work performs experimental investigation of the changes in the geometric shape of the drop in terms of its free-falling, depending on the conditions of drop formation on dispenser. It was found that volume and velocity of drop formation on dispenser are the factors affecting the geometric shape of the drop in terms of its free-falling
