Freezing of impact water droplets on cold moving substrates by Mohamad Taufiq Md Tarmidi

“…The surface temperature can be adjusted accordingly using the thermoelectric cooler (TEC). Next, the experiment is carried out with (2) varying impact velocities (0.75m/s, 1.25m/s and 1.75m/s) which can be controlled accurately using the KDS210 Dual syringe pump where the water droplet will be released from. …”
