Abstract

A theoretical analysis of the temperature change of an evaporating droplet on a superhydrophobic surface is performed taking into account heat fluxes of various types. The results show that the additional cooling effect of evaporation can lead to significant cooling and even crystallization of sessile droplets at positive temperatures. However, with a decrease in the ambient temperature, the efficiency of this additional cooling decreases. A method for continuous monitoring of the temperature of an evaporating droplet based on the measured thermodynamic parameters of sessile droplets is proposed. Experimental studies conducted at temperatures slightly above and below zero degrees Celsius demonstrated a satisfactory correlation between the results of the theoretical analysis and the experimentally measured supercooling of water droplets.
