Abstract: Superhydrophobic micro/nanostructured surfaces for dropwise condensation have recently received significant attention due to their potential to enhance heat transfer performance by shedding water droplets via coalescenceinduced ...

Abstract: Analyses of microchannel and microgap cooling show that galinstan, a recently developed nontoxic liquid metal that melts at −19 آ°C, may be more effective than water for direct liquid cooling of electronics. The thermal ...

Abstract: We analytically and numerically consider the hydrodynamic and thermal transport behavior of fully developed laminar flow through a superhydrophobic (SH) parallelplate channel. Hydrodynamic slip length, thermal slip length ...

Abstract: The effects of hydrodynamic and thermal slip on heat transfer in a thermally developing, steady, laminar Couette flow are investigated. Fluid temperature at the inlet to a parallel plate channel is prescribed, as various ...

Abstract: We semianalytically capture the effects of evaporation and condensation at menisci on apparent thermal slip lengths for liquids suspended in the Cassie state on ridgetype structured surfaces using a conformal map and ...

Abstract: Condensation is an important process in both emerging and traditional power generation and water desalination technologies. Superhydrophobic nanostructures promise enhanced condensation heat transfer by reducing the ...
