Abstract To investigate the microscopic mechanism underlying the influence of surface-chemical gradient on heat and mass recovery, a molecular dynamics model including droplet condensation and transport process has been developed to examine heat and mass recovery performance. This work aimed at identify optimal conditions for enhancing heat and mass recovery through the combination of wettability gradient and nanopore transport. For comprehensive analysis, the structure in the simulation was categorized into three distinct groups: a homogeneous structure, a small wettability gradient, and a large wettability gradient. The homogeneous surface demonstrated low efficiency in heat and mass transfer, More >
