In the Leidenfrost state, the liquid drop is levitated above a hot solid surface by a vapor layer
generated via evaporation from the drop. The vapor layer thermally insulates the drop from …

This work presents on the hydrodynamics of water droplet impingement on superheated
solid surfaces across the entire wettability spectrum: superhydrophilic, hydrophilic …

In this study, evaporation of sessile water droplets on hot micro-structured superhydrophobic
surfaces is experimentally and theoretically investigated. Water droplets of 4 µL are placed …

To improve the controllability of combustion and reduce the emissions of HC and CO of the
newly developed combustion modes, such as the HCCI, PCCI and RCCI, the evaporation …

Despite spray cooling in the form of droplet boiling on a textured surface being a very
promising phase-change heat dissipating method, the understanding of droplet/bubble two …

This paper presents an experimental study on thermal transport to single water droplets
evaporating on heated biphobic surfaces consisting of a superhydrophobic matrix with a …

This study experimentally and theoretically investigates the dynamics and heat transfer to
impinging water droplets on superhydrophobic surfaces heated below the boiling …

Single droplet boiling is a basic problem for spray cooling which is an effective technology
for high heat flux applications. Visualizations were used to investigate the effect of surface …

A water droplet pinning on inclined hydrophobic surface is considered and the droplet heat
transfer characteristics are examined. Solution crystallization of polycarbonate is carried out …

The prospect of thermal energy harvesting in extreme environments, such as in space or at
microscales, offers unique opportunities and challenges for the development of alternate …
