The book presents a review of the subject required to build up models as well as to design experiments. Emphasis is placed on the effect of physical and chemical texturing and their effect on the bulk transport phenomena. Application of the model to metal vapor condensation is of special interest. The unique behavior of liquid metals, with their low Prandtl number and high surface tension, is also discussed. The model predicts instantaneous drop size distribution for a given level of substrate subcooling and derives local as well as spatio-temporally averaged heat transfer rates and wall shear stress.SpringerBriefs in applied sciences and technology.Thermal engineering and applied science.CondensationTransport theorySurfaces (Physics)Condensation.Transport theory.Surfaces (Physics)620.1064Khandekar Sameerauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut873964Muralidhar KrishnamurthyMiFhGGMiFhGGBOOK9910299481203321Dropwise Condensation on Inclined Textured Surfaces1951225UNINA
