摘　　要：Undesired heat transfer during droplet impact on cold surfaces can lead to ice formation and damage to renewable infrastructure,among others.To address this,superhydrophobic surfaces aim to minimize the droplet surface interaction thereby,holding promise to greatly limit heattransfer.However,the dropletimpact on such surfaces spans only a few milliseconds making it difficult to quantify the heat exchange at the droplet–solid interface.Here,we employ high-speed infrared thermography and a three-dimensionaltransient heat conductionCOMSOL modelto map the dynamic heat flux distribution during droplet impact on a cold superhydrophobic surface.The comprehensive droplet impact experiments for varying surface temperature,droplet size,and impacting height reveal that the heat transfer effectiveness(Q′)scales with the dimensionless maximum spreading radius as Q′∼(Rmax∕Ri)1.6,deviating from previous semi-infinite scaling.Interestingly,despite shorter contact times,droplets impacting from higher heights demonstrate increased heat transfer effectiveness due to expanded contact area.The results suggest that reducing droplet spreading time,as opposed to contact time alone,can be a more effective strategy for minimizing heat transfer.The results presented here highlight the importance of both contact area and contact time on the heat exchange between a droplet and a cold superhydrophobic surface.
