Abstract Details

2014, MS, University of Cincinnati, Engineering and Applied Science: Mechanical Engineering.
In present study, the enhancement of meniscus evaporation by changing meniscus shape and area was investigated. Rather than observing the meniscus shape directly, an alternative method has been utilized. A Condensation Particle Counter (CPC) structure, which benefits from meniscus evaporation of a porous media to make vapor for water droplet growth, has been introduced to analyze the production water droplet. By analyzing the size and concentration of the condensed water droplet from CPC, the enhancement of meniscus evaporation taken place at the porous media was determined. The meniscus shape and area alterations were controlled by applying an additional pressure onto the meniscus. The results of the bigger condensed water droplet and higher concentration clearly demonstrate that the enhancement has been achieved to the meniscus evaporation, which was led by changing of the additional pressure applied to the meniscus of the porous media.
