Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental investigation on steam condensation heat transfer enhancement with vertically patterned hydrophobic–hydrophilic hybrid surfaces
TL;DR: In this paper, the maximum droplet radius and droplet size distribution adjustment with hydrophobic-hydrophilic hybrid surface, and the resultant heat transfer performance are investigated experimentally.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of droplet jumping phenomenon with lattice Boltzmann simulation of droplet coalescence
TL;DR: In this paper, the dynamic evolution of droplet and the velocity distribution inside the droplet during coalescence were simulated using multiphase lattice Boltzmann method and the energy distribution released by droplet coalescence was calculated statistically, and the jumping height induced by coalescence on a superhydrophobic surface was predicted based on the energy conservation method.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wetting Transition of Condensed Droplets on Nanostructured Superhydrophobic Surfaces: Coordination of Surface Properties and Condensing Conditions.
TL;DR: The morphology of nucleated droplets in nanostructures and the droplet dynamic evolution throughout the growth stages are systematically shown, which provides the direct evidence of condensing condition-induced droplet wetting transition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Condensation on hybrid-patterned copper tubes (I): Characterization of condensation heat transfer
TL;DR: In this article, a parametric study was conducted to experimentally determine the influence of (β/α) ratios on the heat transfer performance and droplet dynamic under saturation condition near the atmosphere pressure with the presence of non-condensable gases (air).
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of surface free energies on the heterogeneous nucleation of water droplet: A molecular dynamics simulation approach
TL;DR: The results indicate that near-constant contact angles are already established for nano-scale nuclei on various surfaces, with the contact angle decreasing with solid-liquid interaction intensities linearly, and simulation results suggest that the number of nuclei increases monotonously with thenumber of high energy particles.
