Enhancing heat transfer at low temperatures by laser functionalization of the inner surface of metal pipes

Abstract The latent heat transfer during vapour condensation in the condenser section of passive heat transport devices such as the two-phase closed thermosiphon is limited by film condensation. Dropwise condensation provides an increase of the heat transfer coefficient by up to one order of magnitu...
