Abstract:This study investigated the effect of surfaces with interlaced wettability on steam–air mixture condensation. Experiments were conducted on various types of surface with different modified strip widths. In general, surfaces exhibiting high hydrophobic wettability yield a high condensation heat-transfer rate because dropwise condensation is easily formed. However, the experimental results of this study revealed that surfaces with interlaced wettability demonstrated superior condensation heat-transfer performanc… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
