Abstract
The effects of solid surface roughness on the contact angle of a nanofluid droplet were experimentally investigated. The experiments were conducted using the solid surface of a 10 mm cubic copper block and the nanofluid of water mixed with CuO nanoparticles. The experimental results showed that the contact angles of nanofluid droplets were lower than those of water droplets and that the contact angle of the nanofluid droplet increased with the solid surface roughness. Furthermore, it was found that the contact angles of water droplets on the solid surface quenched by both water and the nanofluid were lower than those of water droplets on the pure solid surface. However, significant differences were not observed between the contact angles on the solid surfaces quenched by water and the nanofluid.
