Dropwise Condensation on Micro- and Nanostructured Surfaces (2014, positive): “dropwise condensation (DWC), is desired since it yields much higher heat transfer coefficients [14,15].”
Vapor chambers with jumping-drop liquid return from superhydrophobic condensers (2013, background): “For dropwise condensation on the superhydrophobic condenser, the phase-change heat transfer can be additionally affected by the capillary resistance (important for nanometric drops) and conduction resistance (important for millimetric drops) [20,21].”
Heat-transfer coefficients, Wilson plots and accuracy of thermal measurements (2004, background): “(For a more accurate formula extending to lower heat fluxes, but less convenient for the present purposes, see [11].”
Modeling and Optimization of Superhydrophobic Condensation (2013, background): “Dropwise condensation of water on metal/metal oxide surfaces is rarely observed in natural conditions due to their high surface energies (the exception being noble metals such as gold and platinum due to adsorption of atmospheric hydrocarbons [51-53]).”
