Abstract A Monte Carlo method, implemented for quantifying confidence bounds on thermoreflectance (TR) measurements of interfacial thermal conductance G at solid-liquid interfaces modified with self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) is presented in this paper. Here we used 1-decanethiol (1DT) and 1H,1H,2H,2H-Perfluorodecanethiol (PFDT) SAMs to achieve two distinct work of adhesion. Using TR measurements in conjunction with Monte Carlo simulations, we determined G values to be 51 ± 7 MWm-2K-1, 58 ± 8 MWm-2K-1, and 72 ± 17 MWm-2K-1 for Au-PFDT-H2O, Au-1DT-H2O, and Au-H2O, respectively. Our results with the new confidence bounds position our experimental data on surfaces modified with SAMs comparable to literature. However, contrary to previous results shown in the literature, our data showed that a significant decrease in G can be seen for DI water on bare Au that was exposed in ambient for extended period. Our results indicate that G could be influenced by factors beyond a simple work of adhesion, an indication also seen from the work of Park et al.. To solidify this finding, further investigation is necessary to better understand G dependence on surface wettability.

ABSTRACTConvenient methods of correlation and prediction of S+L diagrams exist only for systems forming eutectics. To deal with solid solutions, we have adopted the model of strictly regular solutions of Guggenheim [3–5]. Our key assumption is that values of the Gibbs function of interchange w are different in the two coexisting phases: wS and wL. The assumption is based on the fact that the average interatomic distances R are also different, and this affects the averages of the interatomic (or intermolecular) potentials. The input parameters are enthalpies and temperatures of melting of pure components and any pair of experimental points on the diagram. For a number of binary alloy systems the agreement with the experiment is good. Since we believe in the basic unity of materials (see Chap. 1 in [7]), calcuations have also been made for organic mixtures, again with good results.

Jumping-droplet enhanced condensation has recently attracted huge interest due to its remarkable potential of heat transfer performance enhancement, and studies have been done to design superhydrophobic surfaces with various surface morphologies. We fabricated a superhydrophobic micromesh-covered surface using a facile and scalable method. ESEM condensation experiment results show that droplets in pores formed by the mesh wires had faster growth rate in the upward direction than droplets on wires. This is mainly because of the confining role of the wires and higher heat transfer rate due to larger solid-liquid contact area. Also, these droplets always jumped at the size of pores (∼35 μm) when they coalesced with other droplets on wires. Moreover, droplets in pores were distorted by mesh wires, resulting in larger surface area. Theoretical predictions show, for a specific droplet radius, coalescence jumping of distorted droplets on the mesh-covered surface releases more excess surface free energy, and has larger jumping velocity than that of spherical droplets on the plate surface without mesh. This better performance was further validated by constant exposure of those two surfaces to electron beam during which work of adhesion was gradually increased. As expected, droplets on the mesh-covered surface coalesced and jumped while coalescing droplets on the plate surface could not as the exposure time increased. Our results offer new insights for designing hierarchical structured superhydrophobic surfaces to further enhance the performance of condensation heat transfer processes.
