Analytical modeling of internal flow during nanoparticle-laden drop evaporation
Masterthesis, Bachelorthesis, Advanced Design Project (ADP)
The evaporation of liquid droplets, a phenomenon ubiquitous in daily life, has garnered significant attention in scientific research. Of particular interest is the evaporation of droplets laden with nonvolatile solutes, which results in intricate deposition patterns on the substrate. Understanding the mechanisms underlying the formation of these patterns is crucial for various technical applications, spanning from coating and inkjet printing to disease detection. This work delves into the development of a comprehensive model of the specific ring-like deposition patterns observed during the drying of droplets.
