“…In future experimental studies, superhydrophobic coating for anti-condensation properties of all four side walls will be considered, as recent progress in the domain of surface engineering for anti-condensation applications recently demonstrated promising results ( Wu et al., 2021 ; Xu et al., 2021 ). We believe that the accuracy of the correlation could be further increased by such coating, also reducing the time and costs, associated with additional experiments.…”

Summary Condensation of humid air is an important process in thermal and process engineering and a subject of many currently research-intensive scientific domains, such as atmospheric water harvesting and seawater desalination. The nature of (water) vapor condensation in the presence of non-condensable gas (NCG) such as air differs significantly from the case with the pure, quiescent vapor condensation. In the literature, simple models that describe the forced flow condensation of water vapor in the presence of air on a series of vertical flat plates are hard to find. Here we present a simple and computationally efficient semi-empirical correlation describing forced flow condensation from humid air inside vertical channels formed by flat plates. The correlation accounts air as a non-condensing gas, different heights of vertical plates, and different thermal-hydraulic parameters. The correlation has been experimentally validated and shows excellent agreement, as 90% of theoretically predicted values are within ±12% of experimental data.

Superhydrophobic (SHPB) materials have attracted a lot of attention in civil engineering due to their unique wettability in recent years. The SHPB characteristics pave up a new way for the applications of SHPB materials in civil engineering. In this review, the applications research progress of SHPB materials in various fields of civil engineering is summarized. The waterproofing, self‐cleaning, anticorrosion, anti‐icing, and antifogging applications of SHPB materials in architectural engineering are discussed. The applications of SHPB materials in road and bridge engineering such as anti‐icing and antiskidding are listed. The applications of SHPB materials in heating and ventilation engineering are ranged from anticondensation, antifrosting to dust removal. The anticorrosion and antibiofouling applications of SHPB materials in structural engineering in marine environment are presented. The key problem of insufficient mechanical and chemical durability of SHPB materials when applied in civil engineering is pointed out, and the application trend of SHPB materials in civil engineering is prospected. Finally, based on the detailed discussion of the applications of SHPB materials in civil engineering, a brief summary is proposed. It is expected that SHPB materials can be widely and systematically applied in civil engineering, making important contributions to multifunctional development of civil engineering in the future.

The building sector accounted for the largest share of both global final energy use and energy-related CO2 emissions. Despite the efforts made during the last decade to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, the demand for energy is increasing steadily. Thus, development of novel strategies to reduce energy costs and save the environment through a new building regulation has critical importance. Several new technologies are emerging to help achieve the aim of reducing energy usage in building sectors, eliminating greenhouse gas emissions, and recycling waste. Some of these technologies are: (1) the development of geopolymer binder that may be used as an alternative to ordinary Portland cement, (2) the adoption of three-dimensional (3D) printing technology in the civil engineering, and (3) the integration of phase change materials (PCM) in cementitious materials to increase energy efficiency of buildings. In this chapter we review some research about phase change materials-based geopolymer cement, and the adoption of the additive manufacturing technology in geopolymer applications, as well as, point to further areas of study required for wide-scale industry adoption.
