Impact of Micro- and Nano-Structured Surfaces on Condensation Heat Transfer Effectiveness
D. Jacob Butterfield, Dr. Brian Iverson, Mechanical Engineering Introduction This paper reports observations from condensation heat transfer tests performed on superhydrophobic (water-repelling) surfaces. Condensation is used in heat transfer applications ranging from industrial power generation to desalination. Superhydrophobic surfaces have been discovered to increase the effectiveness of this heat transfer process by increasing water droplet mobility. […]
