Enhancing Hot Droplet Repellency of Superhydrophobic Surfaces by Adding Macrotextures​

Semester: Fall 2024


Presentation description

Superhydrophobic surfaces are known for their ability to repel water, minimizing contact time and reducing heat transfer from droplets. However, hot drops can stick if they approach evaporation temperatures of water or the melting point of the surface microstructure's material. By analyzing impact dynamics and heat transfer modifications, we aim to determine the surface topology that most effectively enhances the ability of superhydrophobic surface to repel hot droplets.
