Droplet interaction with solid surface plays an important role in a number of practical applications such as thermal management systems, steel production, painting, prevention of impurit deposition, and formation of ...

In this work, an experimental and a theoretical study was carried out on condensation heat transfer on vertically aligned bare unstructured, micro V-grooved and square-grooved copper substrates. During the experiments, ...

Condensation heat transfer coefficients (HTCs) are rather low compared to thin film evaporation. Therefore, it can be a limiting factor for designing heat transfer equipment. In this work, heat transfer characteristics of ...

Since many industrial applications require heat treatment processes or validation tests under certain ambient temperatures, thermal design is a key issue to be considered in order to ensure fast heating and cooling ...

Frost formation on evaporators negatively affects the cooling performance of refrigerators. It increases the thermal resistance between the refrigerant and air leading to a reduction in the system cooling capacity. In this ...
