... could be an effective way to restrict evaporation from soil, thereby conserving water resources. In this study, 4- L sessile water droplets were evaporated from an artificial soil millipore comprised of three glass (i.e. hydrophilic) and Teflon (i.e. hydrophobic) 2.38-mm-diameter beads. The distance...

... condensation hydrophilic hydrophobic minichannel nanostructures Abstract Abstract Steam flow condensation has a wide range of applications in the industry such as in air conditioning, refrigeration, and thermal power plants. Condensation of steam on highly hydrophobic surfaces has...
