- Abstract
- A significant increase in the Leidenfrost temperature (LFT) was observed on a micro/nano rnultiscale textured surface (MTS) compared with a polished surface (PS) and a micro rough surface (MRS). MTS was fabricated by anodic oxidation and has nano-scaled needles with micro roughness. It showed improved surface wetting characteristics (0 contact angle with liquid spreading). On the other hand, MRS was fabricated by mechanical polishing and it only has micro roughness. LFT on MTS and MRS increased by approximately 150 degrees C and 30 degrees C, respectively, compared with one for PS. The textures on each surface influenced the water droplet dynamics. The relationship between LFT and the dynamics of water droplet were studied by high-speed photography. The key phenomenon determining LFT was the rebound process of the droplet during a few milliseconds. On MRS and MTS, the rebound phenomenon of the droplet was disturbed by the surface-texture-induced liquid-solid contact even when the surface was initially at a high temperature over 300 degrees C. The precursor wetting front, observed only on MTS and the capillary wicking phenomenon are likely the responsible mechanisms that significantly increased LFT on MTS. (C) 2017 Elsevier Inc.
