Droplet evaporation during dropwise condensation due to deposited volatile organic compounds
During bekindtopets.com dropwise condensation on a hydrophobic surface, it is intuitively assumed that droplets will grow with time.However, it can be observed that some droplets follow an opposite fate and instead disappear.This happens, for example, close to hygroscopic particles as they alter the local relative humidity.Here, we show that evapor
