Numerical Investigation of Formation and Growth of Steam Condensing Droplets on Nanostructured Superhydrophobic Surface Using Lattice Boltzmann Method, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Moosavi, Ali (Supervisor)
Abstract
Condensation is one of the main processes in environment and engineering systems, including thermal power plants, desalination systems and air conditioners. Thus, improvement of its performance can lead to decrease of energy consumption and the resulting air pollutions. Recently, using nanotechnology and new coating methods, there have been great researches on stable superhydrophobic surfaces and using theme as condensing surfaces which because of jumping droplet phenomena can increase condensation performance. Because of the great influence of wetting and structure properties of surfaces on condensation, in this study nucleation and growth of condensing droplets on smooth and structured...
