Durability enhancement of low ice adhesion polymeric coatings (2020)
Journal Article
Memon, H., De Focatiis, D. S., Choi, K., & Hou, X. (2021). Durability enhancement of low ice adhesion polymeric coatings. Progress in Organic Coatings, 151, Article 106033. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.porgcoat.2020.106033

Icephobic performance of low-ice adhesion polymeric coatings has been studied intensively for passive ice protection. However, limited efforts were conducted to identify strategies for enhancing the durability of the coatings to maintain low ice adhe...

An analytical solution of convective heat transfer in microchannel or nanochannel (2020)
Journal Article
Sun, Q., Choi, K., & Mao, X. (2020). An analytical solution of convective heat transfer in microchannel or nanochannel. International Communications in Heat and Mass Transfer, 117, Article 104766. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.icheatmasstransfer.2020.104766

The two-dimensional energy equation with a first-order velocity slip model and a temperature jump model is studied analytically and a solution consisting of an infinite series is obtained. Impacts of viscous dissipation, axial conduction and rarefied... Read More about An analytical solution of convective heat transfer in microchannel or nanochannel.

Resistance of velocity slip flow in pipe/channel with a sudden contraction (2020)
Journal Article
Sun, Q., Choi, K. S., Zhao, Y., & Mao, X. (2020). Resistance of velocity slip flow in pipe/channel with a sudden contraction. Physics of Fluids, 32(6), https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0009415

© 2020 Author(s). A novel approach based on the local entropy generation rate, also known as the second law analysis (SLA), is proposed to compute and visualize the flow resistance in mass transfer through a pipe/channel with a sudden contraction com...

Intrinsic dependence of ice adhesion strength on surface roughness (2020)
Journal Article
Memon, H., Liu, J., De Focatiis, D. S., Choi, K., & Hou, X. (2020). Intrinsic dependence of ice adhesion strength on surface roughness. Surface and Coatings Technology, 385, Article 125382. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.surfcoat.2020.125382

The roles of surface roughness on icephobicity including ice adhesion strength have been long debated in icephobicity studies. However, the direct/systematic influence of surface roughness on ice adhesion strength while keeping other surface characte...
