Cassie-Baxter equation depending on the extent of liquid/solid interfacial contact area was generally used in the past to estimate water contact angles on superhydrophobic surfaces. However, there are objections refuting the contact area based equations and suggesting that the three-phase contact line determines the apparent contact angle. In this study, we tested the validity of Cassie-Baxter equation on superhydrophobic surfaces. 36 pattern samples made of square and 24 of cylindrical pillars were prepared by applying the DRIE technique on Si-wafers. Pillar side lengths and diameters were varied between 8 and 100 mu m and the height of pillars was kept nearly constant between 30 and 34 mu m. 18 square and 12 cylindrical patterns were coated by hydrophobic dimethyldichlorosilane vapor to obtain superhydrophobic surfaces. Recent method of Erbil and Cansoy was used to test the validity of Cassie-Baxter equation to estimate the water contact angles on these superhydrophobic surfaces. It was found that Cassie-Baxter equation was valid only for some special pattern geometry. The factors affecting the applicability of the Cassie-Baxter equation such as geometric type of the pillars, size of pillars and separation distance between the pillars are discussed throughout the text.

Effect of soft fine particles on the kinetics and energetics of grinding hard coarse particles
Yılmaz, Selim; Hoşten, Çetin; Department of Mining Engineering (2016)
The main objective of this study is to investigate breakage parameters of a narrow size fraction of coarse particles of a hard mineral when ground in a mixture with fine particles of a soft mineral. For this purpose, quartz and calcite were selected as mixture components varying appreciably in hardness (quartz mohs scale:7 and calcite mohs scale:3) but having quite similar densities. Mixture feeds comprised of -1.18+0.85 mm quartz (hard and coarse) and -106 µm calcite (soft and fine) at various proportions ...
Effect of pH in an aqueous medium on the surface area, pore size distribution, density, and porosity of montmorillonite
Altin, O; Özbelge, Hilmi Önder; Dogu, T (Elsevier BV, 1999-09-01)
Surface area, pore volume distribution, and porosity of montmorillonite are determined after being exposed to aqueous solutions with various pH values. For measurement, after each pH treatment the clay samples were freeze-dried in order to keep the structure of the clay same as that in the aqueous solution. Surface area and pore size distribution measurements were performed on an unmodified and four pH (2.5, 4.0, 5.5, 9.0)-adjusted clay samples using N-2 and CO2 as adsorbates. The surface area measurements ...
Effect of isomorphic atom substitution on the lattice parameters and the optical absorption edge of TIGaSe2-TllnSe2 mixed crystals
Hasanlı, Nızamı (2006-05-01)
The variation of lattice parameters of TlGaSe2-TlInSe 2 mixed crystals with composition have been investigated by using of X-ray diffraction technique. For the mixed crystals studied, a structural phase transition (monoclinic to tetragonal) due to atom substitution is observed when the sum of the tetrahedral covalent radii of the Ga(In) and the Se atoms in Ga(In)Se4 tetrahedra reaches a critical value of about 0.254 nm. From transmission and reflection measurements, the compositional dependence of the indir...
Effect of layer relaxation on the internal photoemission in Pt/Si1-xGex Schottky barrier type infrared detectors
Aslan, B; Turan, Raşit; Nur, O; Karlsteen, M; Willander, M (1999-12-02)
A Schottky type infrared detector fabricated on a p-type Si1-xGex substrate has a higher cut-off wavelength than one on a pure Si substrate because the barrier height of the Schottky junction on p-type Si1-xGex decreases with the Ge content and the induced strain in the Si1-xGex layer. We have studied the effect of the strain relaxation on the internal photoemission and I-V characteristics of a Pt/Si1-xGex Schottky junction with x=0.14. It is shown that the cut-off wavelength of the diode made on a strained...
Effect of boundary conditions on magnetohydrodynamics duct flow
Bozkaya, Canan (2017-12-01)
The magnetohydrodynamic flow of an incompressible, viscous and electrically conducting fluid is investigated numerically in a channel of either rectangular or semi-infinite cross-section with several types of boundary conditions involving walls of variable conductivity in the presence of hydrodynamic slip. The flow is fully developed and driven by a constant pressure gradient in the axial direction under a uniform external inclined magnetic field. The governing differential equations coupled in velocity and...
