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. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in applied sciences and technology.$pThermal engineering and applied science. 606 $aCondensation 606 $aTransport theory 606 $aSurfaces (Physics) 615 0$aCondensation. 615 0$aTransport theory. 615 0$aSurfaces (Physics) 676 $a620.1064 700 $aKhandekar$b Sameer$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0873964 702 $aMuralidhar$b Krishnamurthy 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299481203321 996 $aDropwise Condensation on Inclined Textured Surfaces$91951225 997 $aUNINA
