Abstract: The present disclosure relates to efficient heat exchanger components, such as pipe apparatuses including the same. Methods of fabricating heat exchange components are also disclosed. A condensing apparatus can include a condenser surface having a substrate and one or more layers of graphene. The substrate can be formed of nickel and a nickel-graphene surface composite layer can be formed. The substrate-graphene composite can be highly durable, hydrophobic, and resistant to fouling. Dropwise condensation can be induced.

Abstract: Sweating-boosted air cooled heat-pipe condensers for reducing water usage of air cooled condensers employing a novel nanowick micro fin structure to form a sweating boosted heat dissipation system, wherein the nanowicks may be layered and provide self-cleaning features, photoinduced superhydrophilic transition, and an active interface for decomposing organic matter.
