The Physics of Dew, Breath Figures and Dropwise Condensation

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the intricate physics of dew and dropwise condensation, this comprehensive book serves as a resource for scientists, engineers, and students. It covers theoretical backgrounds, essential formulae, and various substrates impacting condensation processes across 15 chapters and 18 appendices. Key topics include heat and mass transfer, nucleation, self-diffusion, and the effects of thermal discontinuities. While primarily addressing condensation from humid air, the principles discussed can be applied to other substances, making it a valuable tool for anyone interested in this field.
