  2. 1. Optical Levitation of Charged Droplets

    Author : Oscar Isaksson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; water; Optical manipulation; neutralization; Radiation Pressure; demonstration; Millikan Oil Drop experiment; evaporation;

    Abstract : The development of an experimental system used to investigate charged droplets is presented. The experimental setup combines optical levitation with Millikan's classical oil drop experiment and has also been used as a mean to demonstrate fundamental physical phenomena. READ MORE

  4. 2. X-Ray Investigations of the Liquid-Liquid Critical Point Hypothesis in Supercooled Water

    Author : Alexander Späh; Anders Nilsson; Martin Meedom Nielsen; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; water; supercooled water; x-ray scattering; free electron x-ray laser; liquid-liquid phase transition; liquid-liquid critical point; x-ray speckle visibility spectroscopy; kemisk fysik; Chemical Physics;

    Abstract : This thesis presents experimental x-ray scattering studies on supercooled liquid water. A liquid-liquid transition between two structurally distinct configurations has been found in deeply supercooled water, indicating the existence of a liquid- liquid critical point. READ MORE

  5. 3. Influence of the Substrate on the Internal Flow in Freezing Water Droplets

    Author : Erik Fagerström; Anna-Lena Ljung; Staffan Lundström; Jasmina Casals-Terré; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Internal Flow; Freezing; Water Droplets; Particle Image Velociometry; Strömningslära; Fluid Mechanics;

    Abstract : A water droplet that impacts on a cold surface will start to freeze and in time ice will accumulate. To exemplify, effects of ice accretion is important in areas such as power generation e.g. wind power and vehicles located in a cold climate e. READ MORE

  6. 4. Molecular structure and dynamics of liquid water : Simulations complementing experiments

    Author : Daniel Schlesinger; Lars G. M. Pettersson; Paola Gallo; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; liquid water; supercooled water; molecular simulation; evaporative cooling; teoretisk fysik; Theoretical Physics;

    Abstract : Water is abundant on earth and in the atmosphere and the most crucial liquid for life as we know it. It has been subject to rather intense research since more than a century and still holds secrets about its molecular structure and dynamics, particularly in the supercooled state, i. e. the metastable liquid below its melting point.

  7. 5. Experimental studies of ice particle formation with tropospheric relevance

    Author : Erik Svensson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; heterogeneous nucleation; water; freezing; cloud droplets; levitation; electrodynamic balance; light scattering; oxalic acid; kaolinite; dinitrogen pentoxide;

    Abstract : In their fourth assessment report, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change points out the influence of particles suspended in air, known as an aerosol, as the main uncertainty in the understanding of the climate system. Aerosols affect climate in a number of ways. READ MORE
