The shape oscillation of liquid drops passing through an immiscible liquid medium subject to a low-frequency (1 ∼ 16 Hz) alternating electric field having a sinusoidal waveform has been studied experimentally with the intention of investigating the enhancement of the direct-contact heat exchange between the two liquids. We have found that the field can induce, depending on its frequency, not only the resonant oscillation of the second mode of the drops, but also another peculiar oscillation that is related to the resonant oscillation of the third mode superposed on the second-mode oscillation.

The heat transfer enhancement caused by the application of a low-frequency (1 ∼ 16 Hz) alternating field having the sinusoidal waveform has been studied experimentally with water drops in a medium of silicone oil. The heat transfer coefficient has been found to peak at three particular frequencies. The data newly obtained with the sinusoidal waveform are compared with earlier results obtained with electric fields having other waveforms. The waveform and the frequency that yield the largest enhancement of heat transfer are sought.

By applying a low-frequency alternating field with a specially designed waveform, we succeeded in making water drops in a medium of silicone oil undergo a resonant shape oscillation of the second mode. The resonant oscillation was found to be quite effective for enhancing heat transfer between the medium and drops.
