One approach is to use free droplets on surfaces which contain one or all three electrodes [4-10], Fig. 16.2(a). A droplet of solution (5-10 p,L) can be placed on the substrate which contains the electrode and the other electrodes positioned within the solution from above. In some cases the droplet can be pulled across the surface, by judicious movement of the... 

The composition of liquid-water clouds and processes responsible for this composition are of obvious current interest in conjunction with the so-called acid precipitation phenomenon since clouds constitute the immediate precursor of precipitation. Additionally, cloud composition is of interest because impaction of cloud droplets on surfaces may directly deliver dissolved substances onto natural or artificial materials. In-cloud processes also influence clear-air composition since dissolved substances resulting from such reactions are released into clear air as gases or aerosol particles upon cloud evaporation. It is thus desired to gain enhanced description of the composition of clouds and the mecha-... 

Field equipment is available that is capable of identifying liquid droplets on surfaces and in vapors. Laboratory-based equipment can further detect agent in water, food, and blood. One of the main challenges with these schemes is ensuring an appropriate sample for analysis and filtering out nonhazardous species present in the environment. 

Dhiman and Chandra [41] photographed impact of water droplets on surfaces of different wettability at impact velocities up to 30 m/s. Figure 8.8 shows three different sequences of the impact of water droplets on a wax surface at three different impact velocities 10 m/s, 20 m/s and 30 m/s. Each vertical column shows successive stages of impact at one of the velocities, which yielded Reynolds numbers (Re) of 5,800, 11,600, and 17,400 respectively. Droplets flattened into a thin film after impact as they reached their maximum extension, followed by retraction until they eventually attained equilibrium. The diameter of the films at maximum extension increased with Re and hence their thickness decreased. Holes were formed in each film that grew larger, rendering the film unstable.
