...Joseph Furner; Daniel Maynes; Brian Iverson; Julie Crockett The thermal transport to drops that roll or slide down heated superhydrophobic surfaces is explored. High-speed infrared imaging is performed to provide time-resolved measurement of the heat transfer to the drop. Data are obtained...

..., 2014. Assoc. Editor: Bruce L. Drolen. 25 12 2013 02 04 2014 The effects of superhydrophobic surface and superhydrophobic and superhydrophilic hybrid surface on the fluid flow and heat transfer of oscillating heat pipes (OHPs) were investigated in the paper. The inner surfaces...

.... Tzou. 26 03 2013 13 01 2014 Mathematical models are developed for heat conduction in creeping flow of a liquid over a microstructured superhydrophobic surface, where because of hydrophobicity, a gas is trapped in the cavities of the microstructure. As gas is much lower in thermal...

... than by heating the superhydrophobic surface, whether by constant wall temperature or by constant heat flux. The opposite is true when the temperature jump coefficient is below the critical value. Also, the temperature jump can have a negative effect on the flow rate when the heating is by constant...

... results show that the oscillating motion in an OHP with a superhydrophobic surface can be generated and the OHP can function well. This is very different from the conventional wicked heat pipe, which cannot function if the inner surface is hydrophobic. The functionality of a superhydrophobic OHP...

...Wei Xu; Chang-Hwan Choi In this paper, the evaporation kinetics of microliter-sized sessile droplets of gold colloids (∼250 nm in particle diameters) was experimentally studied on micropatterned superhydrophobic surfaces, compared with those of pure water on a planar hydrophobic surface...

... to the formation of “bare” condensation surface caused by the rapid removal of large condensate droplets and high surface replenishment frequency. Superhydrophobic surfaces with high contact angle (> 150°) of water and low contact angle hysteresis (< 5°) seem to be an ideal condensing surface to promote DWC...
