The Lifetimes of Evaporating Sessile Droplets of Water Can Be Strongly Influenced by Thermal Effects

The effect of the thermal properties of the system on the lifetime of an evaporating sessile droplet of water is analysed using a fully coupled model which involves determining the temperature of the droplet, the substrate and the atmosphere. The evolutions, and hence the lifetimes, of droplets of w...
