Effect of temperature gradient on Marangoni condensation heat transfer for ethanol–water mixtures

This paper experimentally studied the effect of macroscopic temperature gradient on Marangoni condensation of ethanol–water vapor mixtures under a wide range of concentrations. For each concentration, the experiment was performed at different velocities and pressures. An oblique copper block was employed to create surface temperature gradient. The results indicated that local heat flux was varied along transversal condensation surface, which was caused by surface temperature gradient. This difference in heat flux might be attributed to the variation of condensate thickness on condensation surface. In addition, a mean heat transfer coefficient was derived along transversal condensation surface. For low ethanol concentration (0.5%, 1%), the coefficient kept a high value over a relative wide range of vapor-to-surface temperature difference (<10 K) and could be augmented as much as 15% as compared with literature under similar experimental condition. Moreover, the mean heat transfer coefficient generally increased with increasing velocity or pressure for all concentrations of the ethanol–water mixtures.     

Condensation and freezing of droplets on superhydrophobic surfaces

Superhydrophobic coatings are reported as promising candidates for anti-icing applications. Various studies have shown that as well as having ultra water repellency the surfaces have reduced ice adhesion and can delay water freezing. However, the structure or texture (roughness) of the superhydrophobic surface is subject to degradation during the thermocycling or wetting process. This degradation can impair the superhydrophobicity and the icephobicity of those coatings. In this review, a brief overview of the process of droplet freezing on superhydrophobic coatings is presented with respect to their potential in anti-icing applications. To support this discussion, new data is presented about the condensation of water onto physically decorated substrates, and the associated freezing process which impacts on the freezing of macroscopic droplets on the surface.     

Experimental study on condensation heat transfer of steam on vertical titanium plates with different surface energies

Visual experiments were employed to investigate heat transfer characteristics of steam on vertical titanium plates with/without surface modifications for different surface energies. Stable dropwise condensation and filmwise condensation were achieved on two surface modification titanium plates, respectively. Dropwise and rivulet filmwise co-existing condensation form of steam was observed on unmodified titanium surfaces. With increase in the surface subcooling, the ratio of area (η) covered by drops decreased and departure diameter of droplets increased, resulting in a decrease in condensation heat transfer coefficient. Condensation heat transfer coefficient decreased sharply with the values of η decreasing when the fraction of the surface area covered by drops was greater than that covered by rivulets. Otherwise, the value of η had little effect on the heat transfer performance. Based on the experimental phenomena observed, the heat flux through the surface was proposed to express as the sum of the heat flux through the dropwise region and rivulet filmwise region. The heat flux through the whole surface was the weighted mean value of the two regions mentioned above. The model presented explains the gradual change of heat transfer coefficient for transition condensation with the ratio of area covered by drops. The simulation results agreed well with the present experimental data when the subcooling temperature is lower than 10 °C.

一个玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚体超流临界速度值的修正

超流最关键的物理量就是临界速度,美国MIT(麻省理工学院)实验组用激光来回扫描凝聚体的方法测出BEC超流体的临界速度,但是与Bogolyubov的理论得出来的值相比小得多,P.O.Fedichev考虑凝聚体处在外势中和各相异性的特点,理论计算的结果与MIT(麻省理工学院)实验组测量的实验值接近,但还是有一定的差距。考虑到非凝聚粒子的影响,发现MIT组测得的实验值并不是临界速度,而是准粒子的速度,实际临界速度比测得的速度要大。估算了准粒子的有效质量,并用碰撞模型对MIT组测得的实验值进行了修正。Jun Suzuki考虑了非凝聚态粒子的影响,计算出的临界速度的理论值与修正后的MIT组的实验结果相符。
