A Model For Condensation Heat Transfer In Hydrophobic-Hydrophilic Surfaces, Abdulwahab E. Alhashem
Theses and Dissertations
The primary focus of this research is to provide a validated model for a comprehensive understanding of hydrophobic-‐hydrophilic condensation on patterned-‐ hybrid surface. Establishing the model requires the modeling of fully dropwise condensation (DWC) before applying modifications to evaluate heat transfer performance of patterned-‐hybrid condensation surface.
The model for fully DWC consists of defining expressions for heat transfer through a single drop, maximum radius of the drop and drop-‐size distribution which all are primarily based on the work in the literature. In this work the author utilized a proposed modified version of the simulation for drop-‐size distribution for fully DWC, …
