A theoretical framework is established to model the evaporation from continuously fed droplets, promising tools in the thermal management of high heat flux electronics. Using the framework, a comprehensive model is developed for a hemispherical water droplet resting on a heated flat substrate incorporating all of the relevant transport mechanisms: buoyant and thermocapillary convection inside the droplet and diffusive and convective transport of vapor in the gas domain. At the interface, mass, momentum, and thermal coupling of the phases are also made accounting for all pertinent physical aspects including several rarely considered interfacial phenomena such as Stefan flow of gas and the radiative heat transfer from interface to the surroundings. The model developed utilizes temperature dependent properties in both phases including the density and accounts for all relevant physics including Marangoni flow, which makes the model unprecedented. Moreover, utilizing this comprehensive model, a nonmonotonic interfacial temperature distribution with double temperature dips is discovered for a hemispherical droplet having internal convection due to buoyancy in the case of high substrate temperature. Proposed framework is also employed to construct several simplified models adopting common assumptions of droplet evaporation and the computational performance of these models, thereby the validity of commonly applied simplifying assumptions, are assessed. Benchmark simulations reveal that omission of gas flow, i.e. neglecting convective transport in gas phase, results in the underestimation of evaporation rates by 23-54%. When gas flow is considered but the effect of buoyancy is modeled using Boussinesq approximation instead of assigning temperature dependent density throughout the gas domain, evaporation rate can be underestimated by up to 16%. Deviation of simplified models tends to increase with increasing substrate temperature. Moreover, presence of Marangoni flow leads to larger errors in the evaporation rate prediction of simplified models.

Comprehensive modeling of heat and mass transport in a micropillar evaporator
Yuncu, Göksel; Dursunkaya, Zafer; Akkuş, Yiğit; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2022-4-05)
Thin-film evaporation and the replenishing capillary liquid flow have paramount importance for various technological applications spanning from desalination to electronics cooling. With the developments enabling faster and cheaper yet more precise fabrication, evaporators with micropillar arrays have attracted substantial attention to sustain efficient evaporation fed by passive liquid transport. Although considerable effort has been devoted to designing optimized wicks, the full picture is still blurry due...
Modeling the Evaporation of Drying Sessile Droplets with Buoyancy Driven Internal Convection
Akdağ, Osman; Akkuş, Yigit ; Çetin, Barbaros ; Dursunkaya, Zafer (2021-05-18)
Droplet evaporation is a fundamental phenomenon encountered in diverse applications such as inkjet printing, DNA mapping, film coating, and electronics cooling. Modeling the evaporation process of a sessile droplet is complicated because of the coupling of several physical phenomena occurring in different phases and various magnitudes such as the buoyant convection of the liquid in millimeter size droplets and that of the surrounding air/water vapor mixture, in the order of meters. In this study, the theore...
A theoretical study of chemical doping and width effect on zigzag graphene nanoribbons
Pekoz, Rengin; Erkoç, Şakir (Elsevier BV, 2009-12-01)
The energetics and the electronic properties of nitrogen- and boron-doped graphene nanoribbons with zigzag edges have been investigated using density functional theory calculations. For the optimized geometry configurations, vibrational frequency analysis and wavefunction stability tests have been carried out. Different doping site optimizations for a model nanoribbon have been performed and formation energy values of these sites revealed that zigzag edgesite for both of the dopants were the most favorable ...
Evaluation of the radiative recombination mechanism in Si nanocrystals embedded in silica matrix
Righini, Marcofabio; Gnoli, Andrea; Razzari, Luca; Serincan, Ugur; Turan, Raşit (American Scientific Publishers, 2008-02-01)
We report measurements of the temperature dependence of photoluminescence (PQ life-time and efficiency of Si nanocrystals (Si-Nc) embedded in silica matrix. We use a practical technique based on lock-in acquisition that allows us to simultaneously evaluate, at each emission-energy, intensity and decay-time of the detected signal. Samples are prepared by Silicon-ion implantation in a SiO2 layer followed by thermal annealing. The implantation dose of Si ions ranges between 2 x 10(16) cm(-2) and 2 x 10(17) cm(...
Assessment of flow and heat transfer characteristics for proposed solid density distributions in dilute laminar slurry upflows through a concentric annulus
Eraslan, Ahmet Nedim (Elsevier BV, 2003-09-01)
A computational model is developed to predict the hydrodynamic and heat transfer characteristics of dilute liquid-solid laminar upflows through a concentric annulus. The dilute slurry is treated as a single phase Newtonian fluid of locally variable physical and thermal properties. Available experimental data of radial solid density distributions in dilute water-feldspar annular upflows is used in the model. Various important characteristics of laminar slurry flows were successfully predicted. It was also sh...
