TLDR
In this article, the role of dissolved ions in a polar fluid on its evaporation dynamics was investigated and it was found that the degree of enhancement in the evapse rate is also directly proportional to the solubility of the salt in question.
Abstract
The presence of dispersed inclusions is known to modify the interfacial characteristics in liquids by adsorption–desorption of the ions at interfaces The present article reports the influencing role of dissolved ions in a polar fluid on its evaporation dynamics The evaporation dynamics of pendant droplets of aqueous solutions of variant simple salts and concentrations have been experimentally studied The presence of salts is observed to enhance the evaporation rate (obeying the classical D2 law), and the enhancement has been found to hold a direct proportionality to the concentration of the dissolved salt Furthermore, it is observed that the degree of enhancement in the evaporation rate is also directly proportional to the solubility of the salt in question The phenomenon is explained based on the chemical kinetics and thermodynamics of hydration of the ionic species in the polar fluid The classical evaporation rate constant formulation is found to be inadequate in modeling the enhanced species tran

Developing a General Interaction Potential for Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic Interactions in Self-Assembled Systems

TL;DR: Direct force measurements have enabled the development of a general interaction potential per unit area, W(D) = -2γ(i)Hy exp(-D/D(H)) in terms of a nondimensional Hydra parameter, Hy, that applies to both hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions between extended surfaces, which allows one to quantitatively account for additional attractions and repulsions not included in the well-known combination of electrostatic double layer and van der Waals theories.

Self-driven droplet transport: Effect of wettability gradient and confinement

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the transport of a glycerin droplet on an open wettability gradient surface with control of wetability and confinement, and found that droplet behavior changes for different wETability confinements and gradients of the track.

Vapor mediated control of microscale flow in sessile droplets

TL;DR: In this paper, a highly volatile ethanol droplet is positioned asymmetrically on the air-water interface creating a gradient in surface tension, which causes an internal Marangoni convection with flow rates ∼O (103) times higher than a naturally evaporating water droplet.

On convection cells induced by surface tension

TL;DR: In this paper, a mechanism was proposed by which cellular convective motion of the type observed by H. Benard, which hitherto has been attributed to the action of buoyancy forces, can also be induced by surface tension forces.

Droplet vaporization model for spray combustion calculations

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of variable thermophysical properties, non-unitary Lewis number in the gas film, and effect of the Stefan flow on heat and mass transfer between the droplet and the gas, and the effect of internal circulation and transient liquid heating are investigated.

Analysis of the effects of Marangoni stresses on the microflow in an evaporating sessile droplet.

TL;DR: It is found that surfactant contamination, at a surface concentration as small as 300 molecules/microm(2), can almost entirely suppress the Marangoni flow in the evaporating droplet.
