Evaporation of sessile nanofluid droplet

Abstract

Sessile nanofluid droplet evaporation is receiving increasing attention lately due to its potential in various applications requiring controlling of the solutes morphology after liquid drying. Despite extensive progress, the understanding still remains elusive about how the deposited morphology is affected and produced owing to the numerous interrelated factors of a nanofluid droplet system. I investigate sessile This thesis indicates the ending of my PhD study, which is not possible without help of many people. I would like to express my sincere thanks and appreciation to my supervisor, Dr. Duan Fei, for his invaluable guidance, support and suggestions. His patient encouragement enables me to overcome the difficulties encountered in my research and helps me to become a capable researcher. My PhD life in NTU has been greatly enriched by my friends and colleagues here. I want to thank them for their generous help and support, especially Dr.
