Part 1 of this series discussed the importance of steam condensation in conventional power units and the heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs) of combined cycle plants. Condenser tube waterside ...

To adjust the number of electrons in a material, the catalytic condenser is made up of a series of thin films arranged in a stack. The top is a 4-nanometer-thick layer of alumina (aluminum oxide), ...

For decades, it's been understood that water repellency is needed for surfaces to shed condensation buildup - like the droplets of water that form in power plant condensers to reduce pressure. New ...
