water at atmospheric pressure. The test channel is a single rectangular channel 0.5 mm
high, 5 mm wide and 180 mm long. The mass flux was set at 100 kg/m2 s and the base heat
flux varied from 30 to 80 kW/m2. Water enters the test channel under subcooled conditions.
The samples are silicon oxide (SiOx), titanium (Ti), diamond-like carbon (DLC), and carbon-
doped silicon oxide (SiOC) surfaces with static contact angles of 26 deg, 49 deg, 63 deg …
