Dropwise condensation represents a critical mechanism in the efficient transfer of thermal energy, where discrete droplets form and detach from a surface rather than coalescing into a continuous film.

Condensation heat transfer plays an essential role in the efficiency of various energy-intensive industrial technologies including power generation, energy utilization, water desalination and ...

Controlling the solid-liquid-vapor tri-phase interface is of fundamental importance for a broad range of industrial applications ranging from biomedical engineering, energy production and utilization, ...

(Nanowerk News) Unlike water, liquid refrigerants and other fluids that have a low surface tension tend to spread quickly into a sheet when they come into contact with a surface. But for many ...

Condensation might ruin a wood coffee table or fog up glasses when entering a warm building on a winter day, but it's not all inconveniences; the condensation and evaporation cycle has important ...
