摘要

We present experiments and theory relating to transpiration through unrestrained hydrogel beads in contact with a water reservoir below and air above. Experimentally, we find that saturated hydrogel beads shrink until a steady state is reached in which water flows continuously through the beads. The size of the bead in steady state is sensitive to the evaporation rate, which depends on the relative humidity and speed of the surrounding air, and to the pressure head imposed by the fluid reservoir. Specifically, the bead size decreases with increasing pressure head or evaporation rate. Our one-dimensional model proposes that transport in the hydrogel is driven by gradients in osmotic pressure, caused by gradients in polymer concentration in the hydrogel that correspond to gradients in swelling. If the evaporation rate or the pressure head changes, the adjustment of this gradient requires the bead to change shape and size. Smaller beads have larger gradients of osmotic pressure, which drive higher transpiration rates and can draw water against larger pressure heads.
