Effect of Electric Fields on Evaporation of Stationary and Impacting Drops

E-field drop impact

In this project, we perform droplet evaporation experiments and conduct numerical and CFD simulation studies to study the effect of an applied electric field on the evaporation of stationary and impacting drops on a heated surface. The objective is to develop new techniques for enhancing phase change heat transfer in industrial applications. 

Effect of Phase Change Materials on Transient Heating of Impacting Drops

PCM drop impact

In this project, we perform drop-impact experiments and conduct numerical and CFD simulations to explore the effect of a Phase Change Material (PCM) on the transient heating of a cold liquid drop impacting a heated substrate. The objective is to develop new techniques for enhancement of phase change heat transfer in industrial applications.
