Dropwise condensation (DWC) is a heterogeneous phase-change process where vapor
changes to liquid in the form of discrete drops on an unwetted surface. The heat transfer …

Owing to advances in micro-and nanofabrication methods over the last two decades, the
degree of sophistication with which solid surfaces can be engineered today has caused a …

Dropwise condensation (DWC) heat transfer depends strongly on the maximum diameter (D
max) of condensate droplets departing from the condenser surface. This study presents a …

Condensation of vapor on metal surfaces has many engineering applications. We
