Abstract: This paper reports bubble dynamics observed during pool boiling over microstructures with an asymmetric sawtooth cross section, under reduced gravity. The periodic sawtoothed ratchets etched on a silicon surface include ...

Abstract: The local surface temperature, heat flux, heat transfer coefficient, and Nusselt number were measured for an inline array of circular, normal jets of singlephase, liquid water impinging on a copper block with a common ...

Abstract: Condenser performance benefits afforded by dropwise condensation have long been unattainable in steam cycle power plant condensers due to the unavailability of durable and long-lasting hydrophobic surface treatments. ...
