Optimization of Dropwise Condensation of Steam over Hybrid Hydrophobic–Hydrophilic Surfaces via Enhanced Statistically Based Heat Transfer Modelization
Steam condensation over a hybrid hydrophobic–hydrophilic surface is modeled via simplified heat transfer modelization. Filmwise condensation is assumed over the hydrophilic region. The standard film model is improved, accounting for the liquid flow rate crossing the hydrophobic–hydrophilic boundarie...
