Condensation heat transfer in the presence of noncondensables, interfacial resistance, superheating, variable properties, and diffusion
TLDR
In this article, a wide-ranging analytical investigation of laminar film condensation is presented, which includes interfacial resistance, superheating, free convection due to both temperature and concentration gradients, mass diffusion and thermal diffusion, and variable properties in both the liquid and the gas-vapor regions.About:

Surface engineering for phase change heat transfer: A review
Daniel Attinger,Christophe Frankiewicz,Amy Rachel Betz,Thomas M. Schutzius,Ranjan Ganguly,Arindam Das,Chang-Jin Kim,Constantine M. Megaridis +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors make the argument that optimum surfaces need to address the specificities of phase change heat transfer in the way that a key matches its lock, which calls for the design and fabrication of adaptive surfaces with multiscale textures and non-uniform wettability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Water harvest via dewing.
TL;DR: The optimal surface conditions found in this work can be used to design a practical device that harvests water as its biological counterpart, a green tree frog, Litoria caerulea, does during the dry season in tropical northern Australia.

Advances in Condensation Heat Transfer
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce various types of condensation and examine the surface wettability of the surface and discuss the transport process at the vapor-liquid interface and the arguments on whether the condensation coefficient takes the value of unity are discussed.

Enhancing dropwise condensation through bioinspired wettability patterning.
Aritra Ghosh,Sara Beaini,Bong June Zhang,Ranjan Ganguly,Ranjan Ganguly,Constantine M. Megaridis +5 more
TL;DR: The bioinspired interdigitated pattern is found to outperform the straight hydrophilic-superhydrophilic pattern design, particularly under higher humidity conditions in the presence of noncondensable gases (NCG), a condition that is more challenging for maintaining sustained DWC.

Forced convection condensation in the presence of noncondensables and interfacial resistance
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of a non-condensable gas on condensation in a forced convection laminar boundary-layer flow is explored analytically and solutions of the similarity differential equations are found both numerically and by integral method.

The two phase boundary layer in laminar film condensation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the shear forces at the liquid-vapour interface and showed that the effects of interfacial shear on heat transfer are negligible for Prandtl numbers of ten or greater.
