Hierarchical microcavity topography for enhancement of water vapor condensation heat transfer by regulating droplet dynamics and droplet size distribution

Manipulating droplet dynamics is of great importance in condensation heat transfer enhancement. Cavity topography was believed to be able to regulate droplet merging and self-removal via Laplace force imbalance by the cavity wall and the effect of spatial confinement and isolation. However, the size...
