    Size Dependent Influence of Contact Line Pinning on Wetting of Nano-textured/Patterned Silica Surfaces
    (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020) Özçelik, H. Gökberk; Barışık, Murat; Satıroğlu, Ezgi; Barışık, Murat; 03.10. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Wetting behavior on a heterogeneous surface undergoes contact angle hysteresis as the droplet stabilized at a metastable state with a contact angle significantly different from its equilibrium value due to contact line pinning. However, there is a lack of consensus on how to calculate the influence of pinning forces. In general, the pinning effect can be characterized as (i) microscopic behavior when a droplet is pinned and the contact angle increases/decreases as the droplet volume increases/decreases and (ii) macroscopic behavior as the pinning effects decrease and ultimately, disappear with the increase of the droplet size. The current work studied both behaviors using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation with more than 300 different size water droplets on silica surfaces with three different patterns across two different wetting conditions. Results showed that the contact angle increases linearly with increasing droplet volume through the microscopic behavior, while the droplet is pinned on top of a certain number of patterns. When we normalized the droplet size with the corresponding pattern size, we observed a "wetting similarity" that linear microscopic contact angle variations over different size heterogeneities continuously line up. This shows that the pinning force remains constant and the resulting pinning effects are scalable by the size ratio between the droplet and pattern, independent of the size-scale. The slope of these microscopic linear variations decreases with an increase in the droplet size as observed through the macroscopic behavior. We further found a universal behavior in the variation of the corresponding pinning forces, independent of the wetting condition. In macroscopic behavior, pinning effects become negligible and the contact angle reaches the equilibrium value of the corresponding surface when the diameter of the free-standing droplet is approximately equal to 24 times the size of the surface structure. We found that the pinning effect is scalable with the droplet volume, not the size of the droplet base.

    The Extended Graetz Problem for Micro-Slit Geometries; Analytical Coupling of Rarefaction, Axial Conduction and Viscous Dissipation
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2016) Kalyoncu, Gülce; Barışık, Murat; Barışık, Murat; 03.10. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    In order to support the recent MEMS and Lab-on-a-chip technologies, we studied heat transport in micro-scale slit channel gas flows. Since the micro convection transport phenomena diverges from conventional macro-scale transport due to rarefaction, axial conduction and viscous heating, an accurate understanding requires a complete coupling of these effects. For such cases, we studied heat transfer in hydrodynamically developed, thermally developing gas flows in micro-slits at various flow conditions. The analytical solution of the energy equation considered both the heat conduction in the axial direction and heat dissipation of viscous forces. Furthermore, updated boundary conditions of velocity slip and temperature jump were applied based on Knudsen number of flow in order to account for the non-equilibrium gas dynamics. Local Nusselt number (Nu) values were calculated as a function of Peclet (Pe), Knudsen (Kn) and Brinkman (Br) numbers which were selected carefully according to possible micro-flow cases. Strong variation of Nu in thermal development length was found to dominate heat transfer behavior of micro-slits with short heating lengths for early slip flow regime. For this instance, influence of axial conduction and viscous dissipation was equally important. On the other hand, high Kn slip flow suppressed the axial conduction while viscous heating in a small surface-gas temperature difference case mostly determined the fully developed Nu and average heat transfer behavior as a function of Kn value.
