Analysis of Factors Affecting Dropwise Condensation Heat Transfer Based on Theoretical Model

Based on the processes of droplet nucleation, growth, coalescence and departure, the heat transfer model of dropwise condensation of a pure vapour on hydrophobic/superhydrophobic surfaces is developed. The influences of the number of nucleation site, minimum radius, contact angle and departure radiu...
