Abstract
The phenomenon of solidified suspended hollow droplets is often run into industry and nature. In this study, we focus on the containerless solidification process of a hollow droplet undergoing a forcing flow. We found that when the radius ratio (Rio) varied with different growth angles, it changes the trend of the solidification rate of the solidifying front over time. Specifically, with the growth angle of 5° (i.e., Φgr = 5°), the suspended hollow droplets finished solidification in almost the same time for Rio in the range of 0.2–0.7. When we increase the growth angle by 5°, i.e., Φgr = 10°, the solidification time increases with the increase of Rio. Also following the increase of Rio, this increase in the solidification time is even higher for the growth angle Φgr = 15°. The inlet temperature is also considered. Obviously, increasing the inlet temperature increases the solidification time of the hollow droplets. In addition, when the Reynolds number increases, the solidification time of the droplets also tends to increase. However, the increment of this trend is different under different temperatures of the forcing flow.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
