Non-coalescence and in-plane momentum generation in sessile droplet clusters
Gopal Chandra Pal, Cheuk Wing Edmond Lam, Chander Shekhar Sharma
Intuitively, droplets in proximity merge when brought into contact. However, under certain conditions, they may not coalesce due to the entrapment of an interstitial gas film. Non-…
Durable, ultrathin, and antifouling polymer brush coating for efficient condensation heat transfer
Shuai Li, Cheuk Wing Edmond Lam, Matteo Donati +9
Heat exchangers are made of metals because of their high heat conductivity and mechanical stability. Metal surfaces are inherently hydrophilic, leading to inefficient filmwise cond…
Condensate droplet roaming on nanostructured superhydrophobic surfaces
Cheuk Wing Edmond Lam, Kartik Regulagadda, Matteo Donati +5
Jumping of coalescing condensate droplets from superhydrophobic surfaces is an interesting phenomenon which yields marked heat transfer enhancement over the more explored gravity-d…
Measuring the complexity of micro and nanostructured surfaces
A. Arapis, V. Constantoudis, D. Kontziampasis +5
Nanostructured surfaces usually exhibit complicated morphologies that cannot be described in terms of Euclidean geometry. Simultaneously, they do not constitute fully random noise…
Enhancing condensation on soft substrates through bulk lubricant infusion
Chander Shekhar Sharma, Athanasios Milionis, Abhinav Naga +9
Soft substrates such as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) enhance droplet nucleation during the condensation of water vapour, because their deformability inherently reduces the energetic…
Ultra-Thin Lubricant-Infused Vertical Graphene Nanoscaffolds for High-Performance Dropwise Condensation
Abinash Tripathy, Cheuk Wing Edmond Lam, Diana Davila +4
Lubricant-infused surfaces (LIS) are highly efficient in repelling water and constitute a very promising family of materials for condensation processes occurring in a broad range o…
Sprayable Thin and Robust Carbon Nanofiber Composite Coating for Extreme Jumping Dropwise Condensation Performance
Matteo Donati, Cheuk Wing Edmond Lam, Athanasios Milionis +4
Condensation of water on metallic surfaces is critical for multiple energy conversion processes. Enhancement in condensation heat transfer efficiency often requires surface texturi…
