Cover Story: Droplet impact on heated plates is widespread in nature and industrial applications. This study compares the impact dynamics of ethanol/propanol and ethanol/water binary droplets, which have similar differences in boiling points but exhibit significantly different impact behaviors due to the high surface tension and latent heat of water. Notably, a novel bubble shrinkage phenomenon is observed for the 25 vol.% ethanol/water binary droplet. It is proposed to be relevant to the increasing surface tension and saturation temperature of the bubble liquid film with decreasing ethanol content, as well as the decreasing ambient temperature above the top surface of the bubble during its growth. Consequently, the vapor condensation inside the bubble leads to a decrease in the bubble’s internal pressure. Finally, an imbalance in the forces inside and outside the bubble results in bubble shrinkage. View this paper
