Lubricant Droplets Can Bounce on Wetted Cylinders
Journal Title: Journal of Materials and Engineering - Year 2023, Vol 1, Issue 4
Abstract
In this work, the droplet bounce phenomenon of polyalphaolefin, olive oil, silicone oil, and paraffin oil on wetted cylinders was reported. With a uniform oil film with a thickness of 0.06 mm formed on the cylinder, typical categories of spread, maximum, retract, deposit, and bounce existed. The ratio of the maximum spreading diameter and the initial diameter was negatively corrected with the viscosity due to the viscous resistance. The effect of tangential velocity from 0 m/s to 0.75 m/s on the spreading was investigated, which shows a strong promotion for it. The force analysis explained the mechanism of bouncing caused by the compressed air film, and oil droplets would bounce if the support force was larger than the combined force of gravity and inertia force. The findings in the work provide a basic understanding of droplets impact on wetted and rotating surfaces and design concepts for applications in modern industry.
