Study on Condensation Heat Transfer Enhancement via Synergistic Regulation of Micro/Nano Structures on Superhydrophobic Surfaces
nanostructured surfaces to manipulate droplet behavior is an effective approach for enhancing condensation heat transfer. However, existing studies rarely discuss the matching effect of micro- and nano-structures. In this study, three CuO nanosheet-microchannel superhydrophobic surfaces (with identical microstructures and different nanostructures, and vice versa) were used to investigate the condensate droplet dynamics of paired surfaces and the heat transfer enhancement mechanism. The results show that increasing the microstructure parameters promotes droplet coalescence bouncing and reduces the size of pinned droplets, whereas decreasing the nanostructure parameters increases the number of nucleation sites and lowers the critical size of Cassie-state droplets. Synergistic regulation of micro/nano structures enhances both the primary Laplace pressure (
F
Δp1
) and the secondary Laplace pressure (
F
Δp2
), thereby achieving a smaller critical bouncing diameter and higher bouncing frequency. The condensation heat transfer coefficient was enhanced by 12%-41% at subcooling temperatures of 1-16 K. This method provides new insights into condensation heat transfer enhancement via micro/nano-structure synergy.
