Interactions between Drops and Hot Surfaces

  • Conference paper
Drop-Surface Interactions

Part of the book series: CISM International Centre for Mechanical Sciences ((CISM,volume 456))

Abstract

Heat transfer and phase change phenomena occurring during drop-surface interactions are of a great importance in a number of technical applications. Surfaces whose temperatures are above and below the saturation and solidification point of the liquid need to be distinguished. In internal combustion engines, in spray cooling processes and in fire extinguishing drops impinge on surfaces that are far above the saturation temperature. The impact of drops on surfaces whose temperature is below the solidification point of the liquid is of contrary concern in icing of airfoils and in coating processes by thermal sprays, respectively. In the former case the formation of an ice layer shall be avoided while in the latter case a deposition and solidification of molten metal drops is desired. In all these cases many different flow phenomena such as spreading and splashing that are well-known from impacts without heat exchange, can be found. The characteristics of these flows are enhanced by the addition of new phenomena such as solidification, nucleate boiling or the reflection of drops by a vapor cushion. Radial temperature gradients can cause the onset of surface tension driven flows. In this chapter we will concentrate on the interaction of drops with surfaces whose temperature is so high that evaporation plays a dominant role. Solidification processes occurring during the interaction of drops with cold surfaces is the topic of the preceding chapter “Heat Transfer and Solidification During the Impact of a Droplet on a Surface” by Poulikakos et al.
