Measurement of surface tension of liquid microdroplets through observation of droplet collision
Description
We investigate the applicability of measuring surface tension of liquid microdroplets by analyzing their oscillatory behavior induced by droplet collision. The eigenfrequency of droplet oscillation reflects surface tension for small-amplitude oscillation. In this study, the oscillation frequencies of ethanol–ethanol and water–water droplet collisions are measured by direct observation. We experimentally verify that surface tension can be measured for deformation smaller than 10% of the droplet radius. The collision between ethanol–water droplets is also analyzed. The eigenfrequency induced by unlike-droplet collision exhibits a peculiar behavior, which may be attributed to the temporal hybrid structure of a combined droplet.
