Nanoscale “Defects” Unlock a Major Heat Transfer Breakthrough
Source ↗ 👁 0 💬 0
A new polymer coating helps water droplets form and detach faster, boosting condensation heat transfer by up to 5.5 times on copper surfaces. Water droplets forming on a cold surface can either help move heat efficiently or create a thin insulating layer that slows the process down. KAIST researchers have developed an ultrathin polymer coating [...]
