An experimental investigation on the use of sinusoidal pin fins to enhance filmwise condensation of steam on vertical plates was carried out. Nine surfaces with pin fin arrays were fabricated by Selective Laser Melting (SLM) and tested in a condensation chamber. The pin fin arrays have the same fin...
