Figure 1. Parameters affecting condensation heat transfer coefficient.
Model results showing influence of: (a) departure radius with advancing contact angle θa = 110° and nucleation density N = 1010 m−2, (b) advancing contact angle with nucleation density N = 1010 m−2 and departure radius Rmax = 800 μm, and (c) nucleation density with θa = 110° and Rmax = 800 μm. The results assume a vapor pressure of 2700 Pa and surface temperature of 20°C.
