Recurrent filmwise and dropwise condensation on a beetle mimetic surface.
Vapor condensation plays a key role in a wide range of industrial applications including power generation, thermal management, water harvesting and desalination. Fast droplet nucleation and efficient droplet departure as well as low interfacial thermal resistance are important factors that determine the thermal performances of condensation; however, these properties have conflicting requirement...
متن کاملDropwise Condensation of Low Surface Tension Fluids on Omniphobic Surfaces
Compared to the significant body of work devoted to surface engineering for promoting dropwise condensation heat transfer of steam, much less attention has been dedicated to fluids with lower interfacial tension. A vast array of low-surface tension fluids such as hydrocarbons, cryogens, and fluorinated refrigerants are used in a number of industrial applications, and the development of passive ...
متن کاملScale effect on dropwise condensation on superhydrophobic surfaces.
Micro/nano (two-tier) structures are often employed to achieve superhydrophobicity. In condensation, utilizing such a surface is not necessarily advantageous because the macroscopically observed Cassie droplets are usually in fact partial Wenzel in condensation. The increase in contact angle through introducing microstructures on such two-tier roughened surfaces may result in an increase in dro...
متن کاملEffect of interfacial phenomena on dewetting in dropwise condensation.
Image-analyzing interferometry was used to investigate the dynamics of the dewetting meniscus of a partially wetting fluid on a modified quartz surface during dropwise condensation. The vivid difference in the behavior of the retracting meniscus with respect to its variation in apparent contact angle and curvature after the merger of the drop with the meniscus was found to depend on the wettabi...
متن کاملA Study of Drop-Microstructured Surface Interactions during Dropwise Condensation with Quartz Crystal Microbalance
Dropwise condensation (DWC) on hydrophobic surfaces is attracting attention for its great potential in many industrial applications, such as steam power plants, water desalination, and de-icing of aerodynamic surfaces, to list a few. The direct dynamic characterization of liquid/solid interaction can significantly accelerate the progress toward a full understanding of the thermal and mass trans...
