Book Drying of Complex Fluids Near the Contact Line

Download or read book Drying of Complex Fluids Near the Contact Line written by Ching Hsueh and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We study the pattern formation induced by drying colloidal suspensions and polymer solutions in a vertical Hele-Shaw cell immersed in a reservoir (dip-coating like set-up). The contact line speed is controlled by pumping the solution from the reservoir. At low capillary number stick-slip motion of the receding contact line is observed for silica suspensions. Periodic strips spontaneously form during drying. We study the wavelength and deposit morphology as a function of the mean receding velocity. The pinning force variation is deduced from the contact line displacement. The effect of the solution pH and size of the particles on the deposit morphology, wavelength, and pinning force is analyzed. Results are compared to some models of the literature. In the same conditions dried polymer films are almost flat, but stick-slip motion is found at higher temperature. In the second part of this manuscript, a 2D model has been developed to describe the flow inside the Hele-Shaw cell induced by the imposed velocity and non-uniform evaporation flux. The model is governed by Stokes equation and Fick's law. A small truncation at the meniscus tip is applied in order to avoid the singularity due to the divergence of the evaporation flux. Lubrication approximation as well as global mass balances are used to express the boundary conditions. Deposit thickness and the flow properties are studied as a function of the process parameters (imposed velocity, evaporation rate, and solute concentration) and the system properties (kinetic viscosity, diffusion coefficient). Finally, we compare our simulation results with a simple model. This model is a first step to study mass transfer in a meniscus.

Book Fundamentals of Inkjet Printing

Download or read book Fundamentals of Inkjet Printing written by Stephen D. Hoath and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-03-14 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From droplet formation to final applications, this practical book presents the subject in a comprehensive and clear form, using only content derived from the latest published results. Starting at the very beginning, the topic of fluid mechanics is explained, allowing for a suitable regime for printing inks to subsequently be selected. There then follows a discussion on different print-head types and how to form droplets, covering the behavior of droplets in flight and upon impact with the substrate, as well as the droplet's wetting and drying behavior at the substrate. Commonly observed effects, such as the coffee ring effect, are included as well as printing in the third dimension. The book concludes with a look at what the future holds. As a unique feature, worked examples both at the practical and simulation level, as well as case studies are included. As a result, students and engineers in R&D will come to fully understand the complete process of inkjet printing.

Book Multiphase Microfluidics  The Diffuse Interface Model

Download or read book Multiphase Microfluidics The Diffuse Interface Model written by Roberto Mauri and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-05-31 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diffuse interface (D.I.) model for muliphase flows.- Phase separation of viscous ternary liquid mixtures.- Dewetting and decomposing films of simple and complex liquids.- Phase-field models. Multiphase flows are typically described assuming that the different phases are separated by a sharp interface, with appropriate boundary conditions. This approach breaks down whenever the lengthscale of the phenomenon that is being studied is comparable with the real interface thickness, as it happens, for example, in the coalescence and breakup of bubbles and drops, the wetting and dewetting of solid surfaces and, in general, im micro-devices. The diffuse interface model resolves these problems by assuming that all quantities can vary continuously, so that interfaces have a non-zero thickness, i.e. they are "diffuse". The contributions in this book review the theory and describe some relevant applications of the diffuse interface model for one-component, two-phase fluids and for liquid binary mixtures, to model multiphase flows in confined geometries.

Download or read book Particles at Fluid Interfaces written by Erica Wanless and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2019-05-09 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Particles at Fluid Interfaces encompasses the processes and formulations that involve the stabilisation of fluid interfaces by adsorbed particles. The prevalence of these multiphase materials underpins their use in a broad range of industries from personal care and food technology to oil and mineral processing. The stabilisation conferred by the adsorbed particles can be transient as found in froth flotation or long-lived as occurs within Pickering Emulsions. The particles can range in size from nanoparticles to millimetre-sized particles, and cover a spectrum from collapsed proteins, polymeric colloids of controlled size and shape to high dispersity mineral particles.
