AI Summary
This report examines various techniques for measuring contact angles, including the conversational telescope-goniometer method, drop-shape analysis, and the Wilhelmy balance method. It discusses the advantages and disadvantages of each technique, focusing on their application in analyzing the wetting behavior of liquids on solid surfaces, particularly at the micro and nano scales. The study explores the relationship between contact angle, temperature, and time, demonstrating how these parameters influence wettability. The report highlights that contact angle decreases with increasing temperature and time, and explains how the Navier-Stokes and energy equations are used to model liquid flow and heat transfer within the droplet. The conclusions emphasize the importance of contact time and temperature in determining a solid's wettability, providing insights for further research on these characteristics. The report references key sources like Hull (2013) and Bird (2015) to support its findings.
