Scalable Micro/Nanostructured Surfaces for Thin-Film Condensation Heat Transfer Enhancement in Steam Power Plants
Steam power plants, which contribute to over 50% of energy production globally, rely on condensers to control system-level energy efficiency. Due to the high surface energy of common heat exchanger materials, the vapor condenses by forming a continuous liquid film with low thermal conductivity (film...
