Realization of coalescence-induced condensate droplet jumping on a hierarchical porous superhydrophobic surface over a wide range of subcooling up to 20 K

Coalescence-induced jumping of condensate droplets has been studied as an emerging mode for enhanced condensation heat transfer. However, the spontaneous droplet jumping phenomenon usually disappears at relatively higher degrees of subcooling due to the increase of nucleation density of condensate d...
