Steam condensation is fundamental to several industrial processes, including power generation, desalination, and water harvesting. Lubricant-infused surfaces (LISs) promote sustained dropwise condensation, leading to significantly higher heat transfer performance that trades off with durability. Here, we present a systematic study on lubricant-infused copper tubes in a partial vacuum environment typical of power plant condensers to elucidate the influence of the design parameters-texturing, func ...[more]
