From condensation to self-cleaning: electrostatically sprayed coatings trigger droplet jumping and limit water buildup.
Airflow and surface orientation also shape performance in cooling systems.

about a week ago i began an experiment, leaving both the ensuite & bathroom windows locked open slightly. idea is to see if permanent air circulation thus permitted in house might reduce or eliminate the black mould spots that can otherwise form on some windows in the cold months [my bedroom often chief offender, presumably from cumulative effect of my sleeping breath condensing on the cold glass]. so far so good re spots, but otoh it's so fucken freezing. now wondering about lesser of two evils... 🤔🤷♀️

How do you identify flow regimes in a condensing steam jet? A new study uses chaos analysis to distinguish stable jets, oscillating jets and bubbly flow using just two parameters.
A simple way to track complex vapor–liquid dynamics.
