表面水滴对特高压直流输电线路电晕特性的影响

雨、雾天气情况下导线表面形成的水滴会导致导线周围电场分布发生严重畸变,从而改变导线的电晕特性。我国第1条特高压直流输电工程——云广线处于多雨地区,导线电晕特性需考虑水滴因素的影响。为研究导线表面水滴对特高压输电线路电晕特性的影响程度,划分了导线表面水滴的等级,建立了导线电晕特性测试系统,测量了不同水滴等级下,电晕笼中导线的起晕电压、可听噪声水平等特征量,获得了导线表面水滴对导线电晕特性的影响规律,并据此对我国特高压直流输电线路的工程设计提出了建议。研究结果表明:导线的起晕电压随导线表面水滴等级的提高迅速下降,最低可降到原来的一半左右;起晕后,导线发生剧烈的舞动,导线表面的水滴在电场的作用下会被"蒸发"或甩掉;水滴会使导线起晕时的可听噪声值降低;在相同的电压作用下,导线的可听噪声水平随导线表面水滴等级的增加而提高。

表面水滴对交流导线电晕特性的影响

雨天条件下,输电线路导线表面形成的水滴会畸变导线周围电场,从而改变导线的电晕特性。笔者基于实验室小电晕笼,利用实验室研发的电晕损失测量系统,测量了不同水滴等级（水膜、一滴水、中等水滴、饱和水滴）下导线的电晕损失,获得了表面水滴对导线电晕起始特性的影响规律。同时,笔者针对自然界中雨水电导率的差异,研究了不同的水滴电导率对电晕放电特性的影响。结果表明：水滴的存在严重影响了导线在交流电压下的电晕损失特性,相同电压作用下,表面附着水滴的导线电晕损失比干净导线电晕损失大得多,且随着水滴等级的提高而增加;在30~680μS/cm电导率范围内,水滴电导率对交流导线电晕放电影响不明显;导线的起晕电压随导线表面水滴等级的提高依次下降,最低可降到原来的34.02%左右。

复合绝缘子污层弱憎水性条件下的表面水滴形态

研究固体污层法中复合绝缘子表面的弱憎水性污层对高压线设计优化具有重要意义。采用调节污层惰性成分中硅藻土和高岭土的质量比实现对迁移一定时间后污层表面憎水性的微调,得到经过细分的亲水性及弱憎水性污秽。本文观察了不同成分污层表面水滴的形态变化且针对具有不同成分污层的复合绝缘子,并进行人工污秽试验。利用傅里叶变换红外光谱分析手段实现对迁移前后弱憎水性污层中小分子扩散情况的检测。试验结果表明:复合绝缘子表面污层呈弱憎水性时,虽然传统的憎水性表征——喷水分级及静态接触角测量结果同完全亲水性时相似,但内部出现了明显的憎水性小分子迁移现象。这些小分子出现在污层内部的后果是对水滴渗入污层过程产生抑制作用,该抑制作用会对水滴在污层表面扩散过程中的形态产生影响。进一步地,这些影响还将在污闪试验中妨碍盐分的浸出,使闪络电压升高。

Transition of super-hydrophobic states of droplet on rough surface

Twelve samples with periodic array square pillars microstructure were prepared on the silicon wafer by plasma etching techniques, on which space b of the square pillars increased from 5 to 60 μm. In order to study the effect ofb on the wettability of the rough surface, the effects of apparent contact angle （CA） and sliding angle （a） of the droplet on the rough surface were measured with the contact angle meter. The results show that the experimental values of CA well agree with the classical wetting theory and a decreases with the increase of b. Two drop shapes exist on the samples＇ surface, corresponding to the Cassie state and the Wenzel state respectively. The contact state in which a drop would settle depends typically on the size of b. On the role of gravitation, the irreversible transition of a drop from Cassie state to Wenzel state should occur at a certain space of the square pillars. Since the transition has implications on the application of super-hydrophobic rough surfaces, theoretically, the prediction of wetting state transition on square pillar array micro-structured surfaces provides an intuitionistic guidance for the design of steady superhydrophobic surfaces.

Water droplet impact on superhydrophobic surfaces with microstructures and hierarchical roughness

Quantitative correlation between the critical impact velocity of droplet and geometry of superhydrophobic surfaces with microstructures is systematically studied.Experimental data shows that the critical impact velocity induced wetting transition of droplet on the superhydrophobic surfaces is strongly determined by the perimeter of single micropillar,the space between the repeat pillars and the advancing contact angle of the sidewall of the micropillars.The proposed model agrees well with the experimental results,and clarifies that the underlying mechanism which is responsible for the superhydrophobic surface with hierarchical roughness could sustain a higher liquid pressure than the surfaces with microstructures.

An experimental investigation into the icing and melting process of a water droplet impinging onto a superhydrophobic surface

The freezing and melting process of a small water droplet on a superhydrophobic cold surface was investigated using the Laser Induced Fluorescence(LIF)technique.The superhydrophobic surface was prepared using a sol-gel method on a red copper test plate.From the obtained fluorescence images,the phase transition characteristics during the freezing and melting process of a water droplet were clearly observed.It was found that,at the beginning of the droplet freezing process,liquid water turned into ice at a very fast rate.Such phase transition process decreased gradually with time and the volume of frozen ice approached a constant value at the end of the icing process.In addition,the freezing time was found to reduce with the decrease of the test plate temperature.Besides,when the test plate temperature is relatively high,the effect of droplet volume on the freezing time is very significant.Over all,we provide some tentative insights into the microphysical process related to the icing and melting process of water droplets.

Rebound behaviors of droplets impacting on a superhydrophobic surface

The rebound behaviors of droplets impacting on a self-fabricated superhydrophobic brass surface （WCA=I64.5°） were ob- served and studied by using high-speed-camera. In accordance with energy conversion, theoretical analysis of different behav- iors and rebound mechanism were given. At lower velocities, three behaviors in different velocity ranges were observed： par- tial rebounding, entire rebounding and ejecting during rebounding. At higher velocities, such two behaviors as rebound after splashing and rebound, ejecting after splashing, occurred alternately and exhibited certain periodicity. A function to predict the critical impact velocity is derived from energy conservation condition, and the prediction values tally with the experimental values, with the maximum relative error about 14%.

Evaporating behaviors of water droplet on superhydrophobic surface

We investigated the dynamic evaporating behaviors of water droplet on superhydrophobic surfaces with micropillars.Our experimental data showed that receding contact angles of the water droplet increased with the decreasing of the scale of the micropillars during evaporation,even though the solid area fractions of the microstructured substrates remained constant.We also experimentally found that the critical contact diameters of the transition between the Cassie-Baxter and Wenzel states are affected not only by the geometrical parameters of the microstructures,but also by the initial volume of the water droplet.The measured critical pressure is consistent with the theoretical model,which validated the pressure-induced impalement mechanism for the wetting state transition.

Wetting transition energy curves for a droplet on a square-post patterned surface

Due to the property of water repellence, biomimetic superhydrophobic surfaces have been widely applied to green technologies, in turn inducing wider and deeper investigations on superhydrophobic surfaces. Theoretical, experimental and numerical studies on wetting transitions have been carried out by researchers, but the mechanism of wetting transitions between Cassie-Baxter state and Wenzel state, which is crucial to develop a stable superhydrophobic surface, is still not fully understood. In this paper, the flee energy curves based on the transition processes are presented and discussed in detail. The exis- tence of energy barriers with or without consideration of the gravity effect, and the irreversibility of wet- ting transition are discussed based on the presented energy curves. The energy curves show that different routes of the Cassie-to-Wenzel transition and the reverse transition are the main reason for the irre- versibility. Numerical simulations are implemented via a phase field lattice Boltzmann method of large density ratio, and the simulation results show good consistency with the theoretical analysis.

Wetting property of smooth and textured hydrophobic surfaces under condensation condition

Static and dynamic wetting behaviors of sessile droplet on smooth,microstructured and micro/nanostructured surface under condensation condition are systematically studied.In contrast to the conventional droplet wetting on such natural materials by dropping,we demonstrate here that when dropwise condensation occurs,the sessile droplet will transit from the Cassie-Baxter wetting state to the Wenzel wetting state or partial Cassie-Baxter wetting state on the microstructured surface or the micro/nanostructured surface,which leads to a strong adhesion between the droplet and the substrate.In contrast,the apparent contact angle and the sliding angle on the smooth surface changes a little before and after the condensation because of small roughness.Theoretical analysis shows that the roughness factor controls the adhesion force of the droplet during condensation,and a theoretical model is constructed which will be helpful for us to understand the relationship between the adhesion force and the geometry of the surface.
