Technoeconomic Analysis of Textured Surfaces for Improved Condenser Performance in Thermoelectric Power Plants
Nonwetting surfaces including superhydrophobic (SHS) and liquid infused surfaces (SLIPS) exhibit diverse exceptional characteristics promoting numerous application opportunities. Engineered textured surfaces demonstrate multiple features including drag reduction, fouling reduction, corrosion …

Liquid-Amine Infused Surfaces for Carbon Capture
… <p>Here, we study a novel technology (solid with infused reactive liquid (SWIRL)) which integrates liquid infused surfaces in flow-through geometries to form systems that have large interfacial surface areas per unit volume. The chemistry of the surfaces are designed to be readily wet by pure …

Liquid-infused slippery surfaces for air-conditioning and refrigeration applications
Liquid-infused surfaces have drawn a lot of attention due to their excellent water repellency. A method is presented for creating a durable liquid-infused surface (LISs) on aluminum surfaces to minimize the water retention and enhance thermal-hydraulic performance for air-conditioning and …

Exploiting Interfacial Phenomena to Expel Matter from its Substrate
… has applications in self-cleaning, omniphobic surfaces and phase-change heat transfer. Although there is a renewed interest in the design of robust functional surfaces which can passively remove highly viscous liquids or dew, or retard ice accretion or frost formation, the physics of several …

A Study of Dew Harvesting and Freezing Performance of Non-Wetting Surfaces
Non-wetting surfaces offer enhanced capabilities over bare metal substrates for condensation with or without phase change. This trait can be utilized to broaden strategies in combating water scarcity in water stressed areas. Slippery lubricant infused surfaces have the ability to shed water …
