Evaporation of a suspended nanofluid droplet

The experimental results on evaporation of the suspended droplets of distilled water with the addition of 0.1% silicon dioxide with an average particle diameter of 10 nm in a stationary ambient and in an air flow of 0.1 m/s at a temperature of 25 °C to 26°C and 50°C are presented. A comparison is made with the evaporation droplet parameters of the base liquid. Experimental data show that during evaporation the change in the surface temperature of the nanofluid droplets is qualitatively similar to the dynamics of the surface temperature of the mixture droplets, consisting of two pure components with different degrees of volatility.
