Dropwise condensation (DWC) is a heterogeneous phase-change process where vapor
changes to liquid in the form of discrete drops on an unwetted surface. The heat transfer …

Condensation is of paramount importance in numerous technological applications where
phase change processes take place. The physical nature of condensation from vapor to …

We are thankful to our doctoral and master's students who worked with us in the areas of
interfacial transport phenomena and phase-change. We have worked closely with Dr …

When a pure vapor condenses over a surface, it can form a continuous liquid film or a
multitude of discrete droplets, thus realizing the so-called dropwise condensation (DWC). In …

Condensation occurs in most of the heat transfer processes, ranging from cooling of
electronics to heat rejection in power plants. Therefore, any improvement in condensation …

In the present paper, a thorough review of the experimental and numerical studies dealing
with filmwise and dropwise condensation under microgravity is reported, covering …

This book is an expanded form of our previous monograph, Khandekar S. and Muralidhar K.,
Dropwise Condensation on Inclined Textured Surfaces, Springer, 2013. Here, we had …

Complex and at times extreme environments have pushed many bird species to develop
unique eggshell surface properties to protect the embryo from external threats. Because …

This study investigated the effects of surfaces with superhydrophobicity-based interlaced
wettability on condensation heat transfer. Experiments were conducted on various types of …

The efficiency of dropwise condensation heat transfer has been improved significantly by the
development of superhydrophobic surfaces, which are usually fabricated by coating a thin …
