Numerical Simulation of Dropwise Condensation of Steam over Hybrid Surfaces via New Non-Dimensional Heat Transfer Model

Dropwise condensation (DWC) of steam over hybrid hydrophobic–hydrophilic surfaces is numerically investigated via a phenomenological, Lagrangian model. The full non-dimensionalization of the heat transfer model, needed to determine the droplet growth, allows for generalization of computational resul...
