  • Because of the frost-slumping phenomenon, less energy is expended to melt the frost and evaporation time is reduced, so defrosting efficiency and defrosting time can be improved on superhydrophobic surfaces.

    “Because of the frost-slumping phenomenon, less energy is expended to melt the frost, and evaporation time is reduced, so defrosting efficiency and defrosting time can be improved on superhydrophobic surfaces [56,57].”

    From Thermal-hydraulic and drainage performance of microchannel heat exchangers for refrigeration and heat pump systems under frosting, defrosting, and wet conditions: A comprehensive review (2023) · cites this paper as [56]

    The Results and Discussion (page unavailable) report that frost on a vertically oriented superhydrophobic surface melted at the interface and the remaining slush fell away, giving it the shortest cleaning time. The paper does not establish that this reduces melting energy or evaporation time on superhydrophobic surfaces generally; it reports retained melt water on a horizontal superhydrophobic surface.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
