Superhydrophobic Micro- and Nano-structured Surfaces: Fabrication, Wetting, and Evaporation
DownloadFall 2020
Water-repellent, superhydrophobic (SH) surfaces have attracted a remarkable interest in researchers for both purely academic pursuits and industrial applications, including nanofluidics and microfluidics, coatings, and drag reduction, due to their unique self-cleaning and drag reduction...

High Intensity Pulsed Light Emitting Diode (LED) Treatment for Simultaneous Salmonella Inactivation and Drying of Wheat Flour and Pet Food
DownloadSpring 2020
According to the world health organization, almost 600 million people, or 1 in 10 people suffer from foodborne illnesses globally. Food industry uses several intervention methods to produce safe food products however, cases of food recalls and outbreaks due to microbial pathogens keep increasing...

Experimental investigation on evaporation induced convection in water using laser based measurement techniques
DownloadFall 2010
Recent studies showed that evaporation of water can induce surface tension gradients along the water surface and ultimately lead to convection, known as Marangoni convection. This study was devoted to visualization and characterization of the evaporation-induced, surface-tension-driven convection...

Estimation of the Evaporation Rate of an Isolated Water Microdroplet Subjected to Infrared Radiative Heating
DownloadFall 2014
A combined numerical-experimental investigation was performed to study the influence of infrared radiation on the evaporation of a single-component droplet in the range between 10 and 50 micrometers, under different environmental conditions of relative humidity and temperature of air. A numerical...
