8.2: Capacitors and Capacitance

A capacitor is a device used to store electrical charge and electrical energy. It consists of at least two electrical conductors separated by a distance. (Note that such electrical conductors are sometimes referred to as "electrodes," but more correctly, they are "capacitor plates.") The space between capacitors may simply be a vacuum, and, in that case, a

Acoustic levitation provides an ideal contactless tool to study the drying process of droplets and particles.

On the dynamics of a big drop in acoustic levitation

6 FAQs about [Capacitor and droplet levitation]

How does a levitating droplet change as a solvent evaporates?

As the solvent evaporated, the concentration of the levitating droplet gradually increased. When the diameter of the droplet was less than ~150 μm, it started to rapidly oscillate. We transferred the droplet onto a piece of silicon wafer for SERS analysis.

What should the aspect ratio of a levitating ellipsoid droplet be?

The aspect ratio of the axes of the levitating ellipsoid droplet should remain at ~2. If the ratio is larger than 2, the droplet tends to explode. If the ratio is smaller than 2, the droplet tends to escape from the acoustic field (drops down for large droplets and ejects for tiny droplets).

How a acoustic field is determined for levitation of a drop?

For the levitation of drops, the amplitude of the acoustic field must be kept between two limits: the lower limit is determined by the minimum pressure to overcome the gravitational force on the drop, and the upper limit should not be exceeded to avoid atomization of the drop.

What is electrostatic levitation?

As the name suggests, electrostatic levitation consists of a charged droplet held between two electrodes via an electrostatic field 2. In typical processing, a material is loaded into the chamber, charged, levitated by means of a control system, and melted.

Can acoustic levitation detect a lossless enrichment of analytes in droplets?

Efficient enrichment of molecules from liquids, solid objects, or the gas phase is critical for their detection at trace concentrations. Here, the authors report on the lossless enrichment of analytes in droplets using acoustic levitation for multiphase and multiplex SERS detection.

How big is a water drop in acoustic levitation?

Considering all those factors, Aoki and Hasegawa predicted and corroborated that the maximum equivalent diameter of a water drop in acoustic levitation, with frequency of 19.3 kHz, could not be bigger than 3.14 [mm], corresponding to a volume of 16 [μ l].
