Wetting and evaporation of sessile droplets are ubiquitous in nature and of importance to
many industrial and everyday processes. While most of the research on sessile droplets has …

The World Health Organization has declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. Several
countries have experienced repeated periods of major spreading over the last two years …

This review reports the recent progress and future prospects of wettability gradient surfaces
(WGSs), particularly focusing on the governing principles, fabrication methods, classification …

Drying complex fluids is a common phenomenon where a liquid phase transforms into a
dense or porous solid. This transformation involves several physical processes, such as the …

We experimentally investigate the evaporation of water–ethanol binary sessile droplets
loaded with alumina nanoparticles on a critically inclined heated surface and compare it to …

We investigate the evaporation dynamics of a sessile droplet of ethanol–water binary
mixtures of different compositions laden with alumina nanoparticles and compare with the …

Evaporation of a binary mixture droplet (BMD) is a common natural phenomenon and widely
applied in many industrial fields. For the case of a sessile BMD being the only contact-line …

Evaporation of nanofluid droplets whose size is larger than capillary length is common in
industrial processes, but there is currently a lack of research on the evaporation kinetics and …

A sessile binary mixture droplet (BMD) has a relatively simple geometry; it is in the shape of
a spherical cap. However, the contact line motion of a BMD during evaporation shows …

The paper focuses on experimental investigation and modelling of the evaporation of
supported ethanol/water droplets in an air flow. The modelling is based on the effective …
