At present, there are many applications of nanofluids whose research results are fruitful.
Nanofluids can enhance the critical heat flux, but the effect on boiling heat transfer …

Circadian humidity fluctuation is an important factor that affects human life all over the world.
Here we show that spherical cap-shaped ionic liquid drops sitting on nanowire array are …

The gravity–capillary evaporation phase change in microgrooves inside a heat pipe is
experimentally investigated by a visualization system. The evaporation regime, startup …

The common phenomenon of buoyancy-induced vapor bubble lift-off from a heated surface
is of importance to many areas of science and technology. In the absence of buoyancy in …

We analyze shape oscillations of sessile water drops with fully mobile contact lines (CL)
aboard the International Space Station. The unique microgravity environment enables the …

We develop a general methodology for the inclusion of a variable surface tension coefficient
into a Volume-of-Fluid based Navier–Stokes solver. This new numerical model provides a …

Low melting point metal (LMPM) has potential application value in the field of thermal
management. Indium-based LMPM/diamond composites were manufactured using sintering …

Thermocapillary-driven coherent structures by low-Stokes-number particles are
experimentally investigated. Time-dependent convection is induced in a tall or high-aspect …

To clearly understand the operation phenomena of thermosyphon heat pipes, current study
experimentally investigated the visualization of the operation and limit conditions for a water …
