Mathematical modelling of dropwise condensation on textured surfaces

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focused on mathematical modeling of dropwise condensation process at multiple scales, including formation of drops at the atomistic scale, droplet growth, coalescence, instability, slide off and fall-off, followed by fresh nucleation of liquid droplets.

Development of automated angle-scanning, high-speed surface plasmon resonance imaging and SPRi visualization for the study of dropwise condensation

TL;DR: In this article, an angle-scanning surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRi) instrument was used to visualize coalescence during dropwise condensation, and the results showed that the effect of the environment's temperature on reflectance was less than 1% when the incident angle was carefully chosen for SPRi with intensity modulation (IM).

Condensation on Surfaces With Biphilic Topography: Experiment and Modeling

TL;DR: In this paper, a new surface topography is presented to enhance drop-wise condensation at low manufacturing costs. But, the current technologies are lacking either the necessary condensation enhancements or cost-effective, large-scale fabrication method.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dropwise condensation patterns of bismuth formed on horizontal and vertical surfaces

TL;DR: In this paper, a multiscale drop-wise condensation simulation of bismuth vapor on a subcooled hydrophobic surface is discussed, and the sensitivity of wall heat flux and wall shear stress to these ensuing velocities are delineated.
Book ChapterDOI

Modeling Dropwise Condensation

TL;DR: In this paper, a mathematical model based on three independent mechanisms of dropwise condensation is proposed. But the model is limited to the case where the condensate is only formed at individual nucleation sites.

An Essay on the Cohesion of Fluids

TL;DR: In this article, it has been shown that for each combination of a solid and a fluid, there is an appropriate angle of contact between the surfaces of the fluid, exposed to the air, and to the solid.

Heat Exchanger Design Handbook

TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce heat exchangers -introduction, classification and selection heat exchanger thermohydraulic and thermodynamic properties of heat exchange, and design of shell and tube heat exchange.
Book

Handbook of Heat Transfer Fundamentals

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a handbook on the fundamentals of heat transfer with a focus on conduction, convection, and radiation properties of materials, and provide a discussion of the relationship between convection and heat transfer.
Book

Transport phenomena with drops and bubbles

TL;DR: In this article, the authors define fundamental principles and definitions of physics, including Shape and Size of Fluid Particles, Shapes of Static Particles in Motion, and Drop Size Distribution.
