Superhydrophobic surface have many applications such as drag reduction in the micro-electromechanical systems. A novel method of fabricating superhydrophobic surface is proposed using the simple wet chemical etching in this paper. Firstly, the surface of steel disc is polished by abrasive paper and then treated with chemical etching. Secondly, the surface of steel is modified with 1H,1H,2H,2H-Perfluorooctyltrimethoxysilane. The superhydrophobic surface was obtained on the stainless steel surface. Finally, the effects of the etching time and etching solution concentration were analyzed to the superhydrophobic performance. The experimentation results show that superhydrophobic performance is the best when the HCl concentration is 2mol/L, the etching time is 20 minute respectively. The water contact angle (CA) of the rotor surface is 152°. The water droplets are hardly able to stick to the steel surface.

We investigated the effect of hydrochloric acid concentration for preparing the superhydrophobic surface on aluminum alloy by etching and PP coating. The superhydrophobicity of the surface was characterized by water contact angle. The morphologies of the surface were observed by SEM. The results showed that the acid concentration had an obvious effect on the hydrophobic surface and a good superhydrophobic surface was achieved by PP coating after etching for suitable time. When the acid concentration is lower, the longer time is necessary for obtaining the superhydrophobic surface. When the concentration of hydrochloric acid was 4 g/L and the etching time was only 8 min, the best superhydrophobic surface with the highest contact angle (CA) of 157° was prepared. The obtained superhydrophobic surface resulted from the rough surface and the material of PP with the low surface energy.

Binary microstructures at both micro- and nano-scale are constructed by the electrochemical depositing Ni and TiO2 on the stainless steel surface. Superhydrophobicity is achieved with a water contact angle greater than 150° after modifying the textured surface with fluoroalkylsilane (FAS-17, CF3(CF2)7CH2CH2Si(OCH3)3). The morphology of the Ni-TiO2 compound coating is studied by scanning electron microscopy.

Multiple droplets are drops of water that continuously dropped onto a surface. Spray cooling is an application of the use of droplet on a cooling system. Spray cooling is usually used in a cooling system of electronic devices, and material quenching. In this study, correlations between Weber number and surface temperature decrease rate during multiple droplets impingement are investigated and analyzed. Visualization process is used to help determine the evaporation time of droplets impingement by using high speed camera. Induction stove is used to maintain a stainless steel surface temperature at 120°C, 140°C, and 160°C. The Weber number was varied at 15, and 52.5 to simulate low and medium Weber number. The result of this study shows that increase in Weber number does not increase the temperature decrease rate noticeably. Whereas the Weber number decrease the time required for surface temperature to reach its lowest surface temperature. It was also found that for low and medium Weber number, Weber number affect the evaporation time of multiple droplets after impingement.
