Electrowetting-Controlled Dropwise Condensation with Patterned Electrodes: Physical Principles, Modeling, and Application Perspectives for Fog Harvesting and Enhanced Heat Transfer

Harmen Hoek, Ranabir Dey, Frieder Mugele

Patterning the wettability of solid surfaces is a successful strategy to control the dropwise condensation of vapor onto partially wetting solid surfaces. We followed the condensat…
