Abstract: The wetting kinetics of a water nanodroplet undergoing evaporation on a heated gold substrate were examined using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Various substrate and initial droplet temperatures were used to obtain ...

Abstract: Coal ash inevitably forms deposits as combustion residue on the walls and heat transfer surfaces of coalfired boilers. Ash deposits decrease the boiler efficiency, reduce the generating capacity, and cause unscheduled ...

Abstract: A model based on the augmented Young–Laplace equation and kinetic theory was developed to describe the nanostructured roughness effects on an extended evaporating meniscus in a microchannel for Wenzel and Cassie–Baxter ...
