Condensational growth of water droplets in an external electric field at different temperatures

Figures & data

Figure 1. Schematics of a side view of a laboratory set-up with top-view photograph of a droplet cluster (dashed line shows the central group in the cluster used to measure the average growth rate).

Figure 2. Experimental points (with solid lines) and calculated functions for a droplet with radius 8 μm (dotted lines): (a) the average absolute growth rate Ṡ, (b) the relative growth rate Ṡ_r, (c) the change in Ṡ_r in the interval E between 0.65 · 10⁵ and 0.87 · 10⁵ V m⁻¹, and (d) the change in Ṡ_r in the temperature intervals ΔT = 5 K.
