What factors affect lotus effect?
Thermal Science, 2018 Lotus effect is the superhydrophobicity property, and widely used for self-cleaning in modern textile engineering. This paper reveals that the lotus effect is a kind of nanoeffect or size effect in nanotechnology, the surface morphology, solution?s molecule weight, and temperature are three main factors affecting the lotus effect. Solutions?

Demonstration of the Lotus Effect
, 2006 This video demonstrates the lotus effect, which refers to the high water repellency of certain leaves, from a plant found in Tenerife. The lotus effect is demonstrated by pouring water and honey on a water-repellent leaf.

Photothermal CO2 Hydrogenation: Reactions, Mechanisms, and Catalyst Design
Carbon Energy, EarlyView.Reactions, mechanisms, and catalyst design for photothermal CO2 hydrogenation. ABSTRACT Photothermal CO2 hydrogenation has attracted extensive attention because it provides a green and sustainable approach to fuel and chemicals production. The photothermal catalyst plays a critical role in CO2 conversion through a range of reactions.

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract Accurately simulating multiphase flows at low capillary numbers remains challenging due to spurious currents and interface discretization errors. We present a systematic comparison of four volume‐of‐fluid (VOF) solvers within the OpenFOAM framework for pressure‐driven Poiseuille–Bingham flow over grooved surfaces: interFoam with classical ...
