Dropwise Condensation:  Experiments and Simulations of Nucleation and Growth of Water Drops in a Cooling System

Dropwise condensation of water vapor from a naturally cooling, hot water reservoir onto a hydrophobic polymer film and a silanized glass slide was studied by direct observation and simulations. The observed drop growth kinetics suggests that smallest drops grow principally by the diffusion of water...
