Abstract

The dynamic advancing and receding contact angles of 5μl water droplets were experimentally measured via the droplet impingement technique on a polished brass surface, one brass symmetric micro ratchet, and five brass asymmetric micro ratchet samples of varying dimensions. Droplets were released from varying heights (Weber number) and the impacts studied via high speed camera. Equilibrium advancing and receding contact angles were measured by placing a water droplet on the surfaces and tilting it. Contact angle values were then compared to an existing pool boiling model which incorporates the dynamic receding contact angle, surface roughness ratio, and equilibrium contact angle.
