1 Introduction

understanding of transfer processes in the region of the three-phase contact line impedes the development of models ofseveral phenomena such as boiling cavitation dropwisecondensation rivulet flows liquid filmbreak drop spreadingand evaporation [9ndash11] The liquid thickness in this zonewith the length of about several microns which is oftencalled the microregion decreases from 1ndash3 120583m to 10ndash20 nm(the adsorbed film) Significant curvature of the gas-liquidinterface in the microregion change in the thickness by 2-3orders ofmagnitude nonequilibriumeffects (the temperaturedrop at the interface) influence of van der Waals forcesand structure of the substrate cause considerable difficultiesfor both experimental and theoretical investigations of thisconfiguration

Theproblemof determining the evaporation rate and heatflux density in the heated liquid in the three-phase contactline region is actively studied in connection with importantpractical applications in power engineering medicine andchemical pharmaceutical and food industries [12ndash14] Boththeoretical and experimental studies prove that heat transferintensity in the contact line region can be more than an orderof magnitude higher than the average one and it causes alocal minimum in the temperature profile along the solidwall [15 16] However since it is impossible to perform thedirect measurements of the heat flux in the microregion(the length of which is estimated to be between 05 and 10ndash20120583m) various indirect methods and numerical proceduresare applied In Ibrahem et al [17] the meniscus of HFE7100liquid evaporated between two heated vertical plates of metalfoil The local heat flux to evaporating meniscus was cal-culated using the two-dimensional temperature distributionalong the outer foil edge obtained by the infrared scannerwith resolution of 148 microns It was found that the localheat flux density in the contact line region was 54ndash65 timeshigher than the average heat flux density on the surface

In the present study evaporation near contact lines isinvestigated using the sessile drop configuration There isa significant amount of literature on evaporating sessiledroplets [9 11 16] However the use of metal foil as aheater in droplet experiments is not common despite thefact that such configuration has potential for giving accuratemeasurements of the temperature field immediately underthe droplet and thus providing a tool for studies of localcoupling of the triple line motion and heat transfer inthe substrate with unprecedented accuracy We believe thatthis potential has not been fully realized For exampleSodtke et al [16] used a thin metal foil heater but reliedon thermochromic liquid crystals (TLCs) for temperaturemeasurementThe issues with TLCs are limited accuracy andlack of applicability outside of a relatively narrow temperaturerangeThe objective of the present study is to overcome thesedifficulties by using IR imaging Another limitation of thecurrent literature on droplets is that the vast majority of boththeoretical and experimental studies are focused on isolateddroplets while in applications one often encounters largearrays of dropletsThe issue of interaction of droplets remainspoorly understood and is discussed in the present study

21 Experiment The evaporating sessile water drops ona horizontal heated substrate were studied experimentallyusing the setup shown in Figure 1 The constantan foil(CuNi) of the thickness of 25 120583m size of 42 times 35mm2(119860 times 119861) and heat conductivity 120582 of 23WmK was used asthe substrate The substrate was heated by Joule heating Inexperiments the heating power 119876 varied from 025W to25WThe images of drop profile were obtained by the opticalshadow system with resolution of 8 120583mpx The geometricparameters of drops were determined using the images by theYoung-Laplace method in experiments they were as followsthe volume was 51ndash393 120583L base diameter (wetted spot)was 368ndash719mm height was 088ndash181mm and contactangle was 50ndash75∘ (average angle of 63∘) The temperatureof the bottom foil surface was measured by IR cameraTitanium 570M The thermographic study was performed atrecording frequency of 25Hz resolution of 640 times 512 pixels(108 120583mpx) and integration time of 805ms To increase theminimal resolvable temperature difference when using the IRcameras the reverse side of the foil was coated with a sootlayer The foil surface temperature measured in experimentswas in the range of 29ndash86∘C The average coefficient of heattransfer from the foil surface to surrounding air 120572av wasfound to be within 16ndash20Wm2K as seen in Figure 2 Thesemeasurements were performed without droplets on the foilsurface

22Theory and Computation To obtain accurate descriptionof heat transfer intensity near the contact line for evaporatingsessile droplets the Cauchy problem was formulated for theelliptic equation

The Cauchy problem for the Laplace equation or ellipticequations of the general form is one of the oldest ill-posedproblems [18ndash22] Its solution is unstable small variationsin the Cauchy data can lead to significant changes in thesolution If the existence of a bounded solution assumed itis possible to show the conditional stability of the problem[20] There are many different implementations of methodsof numerical solution to the Cauchy problem for ellipticequations (see eg [21ndash25]) Instability of solution to theCauchy problem becomes obvious when applying any ofnumerical methods to its solution In this work we use themethod that reduces the Cauchy problem solution to thesolution of the problem of moments [24 25] By a specialchoice of the boundary conditions in the conjugated problemcalculation of the heat flux value at the boundary partinaccessible for the measurements is reduced to summationof the corresponding series Simple formof the domain allowssolving the moment problem using the direct and inverseFourier transforms The regularizing procedure is used tosum the series of inverse Fourier transforms due to theinstability of the Cauchy problem The implemented methodof solution was applied to experimental data processing

3 Results and Discussion

With the use of the above method for solving the Cauchyproblem distributions of heat flux density on the foil surfacefrom the drop side were obtained from the thermographicmeasurements The initially measured temperature fieldcalculated distribution of heat flux density on the substrateand distribution of the local heat flux density along the linepassing through the central cross section of the drop areshown in Figure 3 The drop profile is also shown there The

results show that the maximum of the heat flux density isin the contact line region and it exceeds the average heatflux density on the entire foil surface by the factor of 5ndash7The average heat flux in the zone wetted by a drop exceedsthe average heat flux density on the entire foil surface bythe factor of 3ndash5 This can be explained by the heat influxfrom the foil periphery to the drop due to the relativelyhigh heat conductivity coefficient of the foil material andhigh evaporation rate in the contact line region Calculationof local heat flux density distribution without consideringredistribution of heat released in foil (line 2) is also shownin Figure 3 It can be seen that a negligence of substrateheat conductivity gives significantly underestimated heat fluxdensity and absence of peaks in the contact line region Dataare shown for two different sizes of drops at substantiallydifferent average heat flux density It can be seen that the ratioof maximal heat flux density in the contact line region andaverage heat flux density increases with a drop size decreaseit is equal to 37 for Figure 3(a) and 48 for Figure 3(b)

Previous results suggest that the heat flow from the drypart of the foil to the droplet plays an important role inthe overall heat transfer suggesting that evaporation ratesfor two or more droplets can be significantly different fromthe values predicted for a single droplet The results ofmeasurements and calculations for two sessile drops on thesubstrate are shown in Figure 4 the distance between thesedrops is 11mmThe symmetry conditions are broken for eachof these drops In the contact line region between drops wedo not observe the maxima of heat flux density because theheat influx from the periphery which is now split betweenthe two drops decreases for each of these dropsThemaximaof heat flux density are reached near the contact line at theouter edges of the two-droplet system the maximum value ishigher for the smaller droplet

The droplet on the heated substrate evaporates with timeThe evaporation rate can be evaluated using the available datathrough the heat flux density

119902ev = 119902119905 cos (120573) minus 119902conv (4)

Here 119902119905is the calculated heat flux density on the substrate

120573 is an angle of inclination of the drop surface to horizontalsubstrate and 119902conv is a convective heat flux from the dropletsurface

119902conv = 120572 (119879119904 minus 119879119886) (5)

It can be expressed through 119902119887 which is the heat flux from

the lower foil surface in the assumption that the temperatureof droplet surface slightly differs from the temperature ofsubstrate under it 119879

119904cong 119879119887 At that we should take into

account the difference between the area of droplet surface andsubstrate

119902conv = 119902119887 cos (120573) (6)

We obtain

119902ev = (119902119905 minus 119902119887) cos (120573) (7)

4 Conclusions

We have shown that the maximum of the heat flux densityis in the contact line region and it exceeds the average heatflux density on the entire foil surface by the factor of 5ndash7 In two-droplet system the maxima of heat flux densityare reached near the contact line at the outer edges of thetwo-droplet system the maximum value is higher for thesmaller droplet This can be explained by the heat influxfrom the foil periphery to the drop due to the relatively highheat conductivity coefficient of the foil material and highevaporation rate in the contact line region The possibility ofheat flux calculation by using infrared data gives interestingmethod of an experimental study of three-phase contact line

understanding of transfer processes in the region of the three-phase contact line impedes the development of models ofseveral phenomena such as boiling cavitation dropwisecondensation rivulet flows liquid filmbreak drop spreadingand evaporation [9ndash11] The liquid thickness in this zonewith the length of about several microns which is oftencalled the microregion decreases from 1ndash3 120583m to 10ndash20 nm(the adsorbed film) Significant curvature of the gas-liquidinterface in the microregion change in the thickness by 2-3orders ofmagnitude nonequilibriumeffects (the temperaturedrop at the interface) influence of van der Waals forcesand structure of the substrate cause considerable difficultiesfor both experimental and theoretical investigations of thisconfiguration

Theproblemof determining the evaporation rate and heatflux density in the heated liquid in the three-phase contactline region is actively studied in connection with importantpractical applications in power engineering medicine andchemical pharmaceutical and food industries [12ndash14] Boththeoretical and experimental studies prove that heat transferintensity in the contact line region can be more than an orderof magnitude higher than the average one and it causes alocal minimum in the temperature profile along the solidwall [15 16] However since it is impossible to perform thedirect measurements of the heat flux in the microregion(the length of which is estimated to be between 05 and 10ndash20120583m) various indirect methods and numerical proceduresare applied In Ibrahem et al [17] the meniscus of HFE7100liquid evaporated between two heated vertical plates of metalfoil The local heat flux to evaporating meniscus was cal-culated using the two-dimensional temperature distributionalong the outer foil edge obtained by the infrared scannerwith resolution of 148 microns It was found that the localheat flux density in the contact line region was 54ndash65 timeshigher than the average heat flux density on the surface

In the present study evaporation near contact lines isinvestigated using the sessile drop configuration There isa significant amount of literature on evaporating sessiledroplets [9 11 16] However the use of metal foil as aheater in droplet experiments is not common despite thefact that such configuration has potential for giving accuratemeasurements of the temperature field immediately underthe droplet and thus providing a tool for studies of localcoupling of the triple line motion and heat transfer inthe substrate with unprecedented accuracy We believe thatthis potential has not been fully realized For exampleSodtke et al [16] used a thin metal foil heater but reliedon thermochromic liquid crystals (TLCs) for temperaturemeasurementThe issues with TLCs are limited accuracy andlack of applicability outside of a relatively narrow temperaturerangeThe objective of the present study is to overcome thesedifficulties by using IR imaging Another limitation of thecurrent literature on droplets is that the vast majority of boththeoretical and experimental studies are focused on isolateddroplets while in applications one often encounters largearrays of dropletsThe issue of interaction of droplets remainspoorly understood and is discussed in the present study

21 Experiment The evaporating sessile water drops ona horizontal heated substrate were studied experimentallyusing the setup shown in Figure 1 The constantan foil(CuNi) of the thickness of 25 120583m size of 42 times 35mm2(119860 times 119861) and heat conductivity 120582 of 23WmK was used asthe substrate The substrate was heated by Joule heating Inexperiments the heating power 119876 varied from 025W to25WThe images of drop profile were obtained by the opticalshadow system with resolution of 8 120583mpx The geometricparameters of drops were determined using the images by theYoung-Laplace method in experiments they were as followsthe volume was 51ndash393 120583L base diameter (wetted spot)was 368ndash719mm height was 088ndash181mm and contactangle was 50ndash75∘ (average angle of 63∘) The temperatureof the bottom foil surface was measured by IR cameraTitanium 570M The thermographic study was performed atrecording frequency of 25Hz resolution of 640 times 512 pixels(108 120583mpx) and integration time of 805ms To increase theminimal resolvable temperature difference when using the IRcameras the reverse side of the foil was coated with a sootlayer The foil surface temperature measured in experimentswas in the range of 29ndash86∘C The average coefficient of heattransfer from the foil surface to surrounding air 120572av wasfound to be within 16ndash20Wm2K as seen in Figure 2 Thesemeasurements were performed without droplets on the foilsurface

22Theory and Computation To obtain accurate descriptionof heat transfer intensity near the contact line for evaporatingsessile droplets the Cauchy problem was formulated for theelliptic equation

The Cauchy problem for the Laplace equation or ellipticequations of the general form is one of the oldest ill-posedproblems [18ndash22] Its solution is unstable small variationsin the Cauchy data can lead to significant changes in thesolution If the existence of a bounded solution assumed itis possible to show the conditional stability of the problem[20] There are many different implementations of methodsof numerical solution to the Cauchy problem for ellipticequations (see eg [21ndash25]) Instability of solution to theCauchy problem becomes obvious when applying any ofnumerical methods to its solution In this work we use themethod that reduces the Cauchy problem solution to thesolution of the problem of moments [24 25] By a specialchoice of the boundary conditions in the conjugated problemcalculation of the heat flux value at the boundary partinaccessible for the measurements is reduced to summationof the corresponding series Simple formof the domain allowssolving the moment problem using the direct and inverseFourier transforms The regularizing procedure is used tosum the series of inverse Fourier transforms due to theinstability of the Cauchy problem The implemented methodof solution was applied to experimental data processing

3 Results and Discussion

With the use of the above method for solving the Cauchyproblem distributions of heat flux density on the foil surfacefrom the drop side were obtained from the thermographicmeasurements The initially measured temperature fieldcalculated distribution of heat flux density on the substrateand distribution of the local heat flux density along the linepassing through the central cross section of the drop areshown in Figure 3 The drop profile is also shown there The

results show that the maximum of the heat flux density isin the contact line region and it exceeds the average heatflux density on the entire foil surface by the factor of 5ndash7The average heat flux in the zone wetted by a drop exceedsthe average heat flux density on the entire foil surface bythe factor of 3ndash5 This can be explained by the heat influxfrom the foil periphery to the drop due to the relativelyhigh heat conductivity coefficient of the foil material andhigh evaporation rate in the contact line region Calculationof local heat flux density distribution without consideringredistribution of heat released in foil (line 2) is also shownin Figure 3 It can be seen that a negligence of substrateheat conductivity gives significantly underestimated heat fluxdensity and absence of peaks in the contact line region Dataare shown for two different sizes of drops at substantiallydifferent average heat flux density It can be seen that the ratioof maximal heat flux density in the contact line region andaverage heat flux density increases with a drop size decreaseit is equal to 37 for Figure 3(a) and 48 for Figure 3(b)

Previous results suggest that the heat flow from the drypart of the foil to the droplet plays an important role inthe overall heat transfer suggesting that evaporation ratesfor two or more droplets can be significantly different fromthe values predicted for a single droplet The results ofmeasurements and calculations for two sessile drops on thesubstrate are shown in Figure 4 the distance between thesedrops is 11mmThe symmetry conditions are broken for eachof these drops In the contact line region between drops wedo not observe the maxima of heat flux density because theheat influx from the periphery which is now split betweenthe two drops decreases for each of these dropsThemaximaof heat flux density are reached near the contact line at theouter edges of the two-droplet system the maximum value ishigher for the smaller droplet

The droplet on the heated substrate evaporates with timeThe evaporation rate can be evaluated using the available datathrough the heat flux density

119902ev = 119902119905 cos (120573) minus 119902conv (4)

Here 119902119905is the calculated heat flux density on the substrate

120573 is an angle of inclination of the drop surface to horizontalsubstrate and 119902conv is a convective heat flux from the dropletsurface

119902conv = 120572 (119879119904 minus 119879119886) (5)

It can be expressed through 119902119887 which is the heat flux from

the lower foil surface in the assumption that the temperatureof droplet surface slightly differs from the temperature ofsubstrate under it 119879

119904cong 119879119887 At that we should take into

account the difference between the area of droplet surface andsubstrate

119902conv = 119902119887 cos (120573) (6)

We obtain

119902ev = (119902119905 minus 119902119887) cos (120573) (7)

4 Conclusions

We have shown that the maximum of the heat flux densityis in the contact line region and it exceeds the average heatflux density on the entire foil surface by the factor of 5ndash7 In two-droplet system the maxima of heat flux densityare reached near the contact line at the outer edges of thetwo-droplet system the maximum value is higher for thesmaller droplet This can be explained by the heat influxfrom the foil periphery to the drop due to the relatively highheat conductivity coefficient of the foil material and highevaporation rate in the contact line region The possibility ofheat flux calculation by using infrared data gives interestingmethod of an experimental study of three-phase contact line

The Cauchy problem for the Laplace equation or ellipticequations of the general form is one of the oldest ill-posedproblems [18ndash22] Its solution is unstable small variationsin the Cauchy data can lead to significant changes in thesolution If the existence of a bounded solution assumed itis possible to show the conditional stability of the problem[20] There are many different implementations of methodsof numerical solution to the Cauchy problem for ellipticequations (see eg [21ndash25]) Instability of solution to theCauchy problem becomes obvious when applying any ofnumerical methods to its solution In this work we use themethod that reduces the Cauchy problem solution to thesolution of the problem of moments [24 25] By a specialchoice of the boundary conditions in the conjugated problemcalculation of the heat flux value at the boundary partinaccessible for the measurements is reduced to summationof the corresponding series Simple formof the domain allowssolving the moment problem using the direct and inverseFourier transforms The regularizing procedure is used tosum the series of inverse Fourier transforms due to theinstability of the Cauchy problem The implemented methodof solution was applied to experimental data processing

3 Results and Discussion

With the use of the above method for solving the Cauchyproblem distributions of heat flux density on the foil surfacefrom the drop side were obtained from the thermographicmeasurements The initially measured temperature fieldcalculated distribution of heat flux density on the substrateand distribution of the local heat flux density along the linepassing through the central cross section of the drop areshown in Figure 3 The drop profile is also shown there The

results show that the maximum of the heat flux density isin the contact line region and it exceeds the average heatflux density on the entire foil surface by the factor of 5ndash7The average heat flux in the zone wetted by a drop exceedsthe average heat flux density on the entire foil surface bythe factor of 3ndash5 This can be explained by the heat influxfrom the foil periphery to the drop due to the relativelyhigh heat conductivity coefficient of the foil material andhigh evaporation rate in the contact line region Calculationof local heat flux density distribution without consideringredistribution of heat released in foil (line 2) is also shownin Figure 3 It can be seen that a negligence of substrateheat conductivity gives significantly underestimated heat fluxdensity and absence of peaks in the contact line region Dataare shown for two different sizes of drops at substantiallydifferent average heat flux density It can be seen that the ratioof maximal heat flux density in the contact line region andaverage heat flux density increases with a drop size decreaseit is equal to 37 for Figure 3(a) and 48 for Figure 3(b)

Previous results suggest that the heat flow from the drypart of the foil to the droplet plays an important role inthe overall heat transfer suggesting that evaporation ratesfor two or more droplets can be significantly different fromthe values predicted for a single droplet The results ofmeasurements and calculations for two sessile drops on thesubstrate are shown in Figure 4 the distance between thesedrops is 11mmThe symmetry conditions are broken for eachof these drops In the contact line region between drops wedo not observe the maxima of heat flux density because theheat influx from the periphery which is now split betweenthe two drops decreases for each of these dropsThemaximaof heat flux density are reached near the contact line at theouter edges of the two-droplet system the maximum value ishigher for the smaller droplet

The droplet on the heated substrate evaporates with timeThe evaporation rate can be evaluated using the available datathrough the heat flux density

119902ev = 119902119905 cos (120573) minus 119902conv (4)

Here 119902119905is the calculated heat flux density on the substrate

120573 is an angle of inclination of the drop surface to horizontalsubstrate and 119902conv is a convective heat flux from the dropletsurface

119902conv = 120572 (119879119904 minus 119879119886) (5)

It can be expressed through 119902119887 which is the heat flux from

the lower foil surface in the assumption that the temperatureof droplet surface slightly differs from the temperature ofsubstrate under it 119879

119904cong 119879119887 At that we should take into

account the difference between the area of droplet surface andsubstrate

119902conv = 119902119887 cos (120573) (6)

We obtain

119902ev = (119902119905 minus 119902119887) cos (120573) (7)

Figure 4Distribution of heat flux density based onCauchy problemsolution for two drops 119902av = 653Wm2 (1) 119863 = 41mm 119867 =1085mm 119881 = 7120583L and 120579 = 58∘ (2) 119863 = 41mm119867 = 0903mm119881 = 573 120583L and 120579 = 52∘

The local evaporation rate can be calculated as

=119902ev119903lv=(119902119905minus 119902119887) cos (120573)119903lv

(8)

where 119903lv is the latent heat of vaporization Evaporationheat flux density and evaporation rate for the droplets ofdifferent diameters are shown in Figure 5 It can be seen thatevaporation rate near the contact line has a local maximumbut it is not so pronounced as heat flux density on thesubstrate in Figures 3 and 4

4 Conclusions

We have shown that the maximum of the heat flux densityis in the contact line region and it exceeds the average heatflux density on the entire foil surface by the factor of 5ndash7 In two-droplet system the maxima of heat flux densityare reached near the contact line at the outer edges of thetwo-droplet system the maximum value is higher for thesmaller droplet This can be explained by the heat influxfrom the foil periphery to the drop due to the relatively highheat conductivity coefficient of the foil material and highevaporation rate in the contact line region The possibility ofheat flux calculation by using infrared data gives interestingmethod of an experimental study of three-phase contact line
