A Novel Coating Technique to Enhance Steam Condensation on Horizontal Tubes

摘要CTS-9624060保罗·J·马托这项提议是为了研究管子上的强化膜冷凝。将使用亲水和疏水涂层的组合来选择性地控制管道的排水。管子表面将覆盖一层非常薄的钛层，然后是金层，自吸附的有机分子单分子层将被化学吸附到金层上。使用这种被动技术的成功增强可能会对发电、制冷和海水淡化行业产生重要影响。

ABSTRACT CTS-9624060 Paul J. Marto This proposal is to investigate enhanced film condensation on tubes. A combination of hydrophilic and hydrophobic coatings will be used to selectively control drainage from the tube. The tube surface will be coated with a very thin titanium layer, followed by a gold layer to which self-asqembled monolayers of organic molecules will chemisorb. Successful augmentation using this passive technique could have important implications for the power generation, refrigeration, and desalination industries.
