Evaporation Dynamics of Completely Pinned and Partially Pinned Sessile Droplets in Multi-Droplet Configurations
A. Hari Govindha, Sayak Banerjee, Saravanan Balusamy +1
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…
Intricate Evaporation Dynamics in Different Multi-Droplet Configurations
Hari Govindha A., Saravanan Balusamy, Sayak Banerjee +1
We experimentally investigate the evaporation dynamics of an array of sessile droplets arranged in different configurations. Utilizing a customized goniometer, we capture side and…
Effect of viscosity on the dynamics of a non-equilibrium bubble in free-field and near a free-surface
Y. S. Kannan, Saravanan Balusamy, Badarinath Karri +1
The effect of viscosity on the behaviour of a non-equilibrium bubble is investigated experimentally, in two scenarios; firstly, when the bubble is generated in the bulk of the flui…
Stability and retention force factor for binary-nanofluid sessile droplets on a inclined substrate
Pallavi Katre, Sayak Banerjee, Saravanan Balusamy +1
We investigate the retention force factor of sessile droplets of pure (ethanol) and binary (water-ethanol) fluids laden with alumina nanoparticles placed on a critically inclined s…
Counter-intuitive evaporation in nanofluids droplets due to stick-slip nature
Hari Govindha A., Pallavi Katre, Saravanan Balusamy +2
We experimentally investigate the evaporation characteristics of a sessile ethanol droplet containing AlO and Cu nanoparticles of sizes 25 nm and 75 nm on a heated substrat…
Lifetime of sessile saliva droplets in the context of SARS-CoV-2
Saravanan Balusamy, Sayak Banerjee, Kirti Chandra Sahu
Spreading of respiratory diseases, such as COVID-19, from contaminated surfaces is dependent on the drying time of the deposited droplets containing the virus. The evaporation rate…
Evaporation of ethanol-water droplet at different substrate temperatures and compositions
Pradeep Gurrala, Pallavi Katre, Saravanan Balusamy +2
We experimentally investigate the evaporation dynamics of sessile droplets of a fixed volume consisting of different compositions of ethanol-water binary mixture at different subst…
