Appl. No.:

13/782238

Inventors:

Ryan Enright - Whitestone NY, US
Young Suk Nam - Cambridge MA, US
Nenad Miljkovic - Combridge MA, US

Assignee:

Massachusetts Institute of Technology - Combridge MA

International Classification:

B32B 15/16

US Classification:

428141, 148276

Abstract:

Condensation can he an important process in both emerging and traditional power generation and water desalination technologies. Superhydrophobic nanostructures can promise enhanced condensation heat transfer by reducing the characteristic size of departing droplets via a surface-tension-driven mechanism. A superhydrophobic surface can include nanostructures of a metal oxide having further surface modification.

Appl. No.:

13/858194

Inventors:

Ryan Enright - Whitestone NY, US
John H. Lienhard - Lexington MA, US

International Classification:

B01D 61/36

US Classification:

202234

Abstract:

Membrane distillation system. The system includes a solar radiation absorbing porous membrane positioned to receive solar radiation to heat the membrane. A transparent cover is spaced apart from the membrane to form a channel through which a saline feed stream flows. A condensation structure is spaced apart from an opposite side of the porous membrane forming an air gap channel there between. Means are provided for coolant flow along an outside surface of the condensation structure so that distilled water will condense on the condensation structure for collection from the air gap channel.

International Classification:

B05D 5/02
B32B 5/00

US Classification:

4281951, 427256

Abstract:

Condensation can be an important process in both emerging and traditional power generation and water desalination technologies. Superhydrophobic nanostructures can promise enhanced condensation heat transfer by reducing the characteristic size of departing droplets via a surface-tension-driven mechanism. A superhydrophobic surface can include a heterogeneous surface.

B05D 5/00

US Classification:

428164, 428156, 428161, 427402, 4274192

Abstract:

Surfaces having a hierarchical structure—having features of both microscale and nanoscale dimensions—can exhibit superhydrophobic properties and advantageous condensation and heat transfer properties. The hierarchical surfaces can be fabricated using biological nanostructures, such as viruses as a self-assembled nanoscale template.
