Accurate Measurements and Simulations of the Evaporation and Trajectories of Individual Solution Droplets.

ABSTRACT: A refined numerical model for the evaporation and transport of droplets of binary solutions is introduced. Benchmarking is performed against other models found in the literature and experimental measurements of both electrodynamically trapped and freefalling droplets. The model presented represents the microphysical behavior of solutions droplets in the continuum and transition regimes, accounting for the unique hygroscopic behavior of different solutions, including the Fuchs-Sutugin and Cunningham slip correction factors, and accounting for the Kelvin effect. Simulations of pure water evaporation are experimentally validated for temperatures between 290 K and 298 K and between relative humidity values of approximately 0% and 85%. Measurements and simulations of the spatial trajectories an
