Experimental Study on the Hydrophobicity and Condensation Heat Transfer of Cosine Micro-Grooved Surfaces
In order to study the effects of cosine micro-grooved structures on hydrophobicity and condensation heat transfer
the cosine micro-grooved surfaces with depth of 12-24 μm and width of 30-60 μm were prepareed using dry etching. The wettability and heat transfer characteristics of these micro-grooved surfaces were investigated experimentally
and the coalescence and sweeping processes of droplets on micro-grooved surfaces were thermodynamically analyzed. The results showed that the wetting behavior and heat transfer characteristics of the micro-grooved surfaces presented anisotropic characteristics
and the static contact angle in perpendicular direction θ
⊥
was significantly larg
er than that in parallel direction θ
∥
. In heat transfer experiment
the plates were set vertically and the grooves were arranged in both vertical and horizontal positions. For the vertically grooved surface
the sweeping effect of falling drops was enhanced and the heat transfer in the dropwise condensation was increased to 30%-50%
and a better heat transfer performance was achieved when the ratio of peak to interval increased. Different from vertical grooved surface
the experimental results obtained from horizontal grooved surface were similar to the results of smooth surface. This might be due to the dual effect of horizontal grooves
promoting droplet coalescence and hindering the departure process. The surface wetting rate was introduced in developing thermodynamic model to solve the departure radius of droplets
and the calculated values were in good agreement with the experimental results with a largest error less than 20%.
