  • Heterogeneous surfaces
    Patent number: 9689631
    Abstract: Condensation can be an important process in both emerging and traditional power generation and water desalination technologies. Superhydrophobic nanostructures can promise enhanced condensation heat transfer by reducing the characteristic size of departing droplets via a surface-tension-driven mechanism. A superhydrophobic surface can include a heterogeneous surface.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 21, 2014
    Date of Patent: June 27, 2017
    Assignee: MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
    Inventors: Rong Xiao, Nenad Milikovic, Evelyn N. Wang, Ryan Enright
