This paper provides a comprehensive review of published articles addressing passive
enhancement of pool boiling using surface modification techniques. They include …

Nanofluids have been receiving great attention in recent years due to their potential usage,
not only as an enhanced thermophysical heat transfer fluid but also because of their great …

Nanofluids are liquid suspensions of hard nanometer-sized particles suspended in a base
fluid. The suspension of small solid particles in energy transmission fluids enhances their …

Surface nanobubbles are nanoscopic gaseous domains on immersed substrates which can
survive for days. They were first speculated to exist about 20 years ago, based on stepwise …

With recent advances in micro-and nanofabrication, superhydrophilic and superhydrophobic
surfaces have been developed. The statics and dynamics of fluids on these surfaces have …

In the recent decades, the rapid growth of surface modification and fabrication technologies
has facilitated the achievement of boiling heat transfer enhancement on …

Owing to advances in micro-and nanofabrication methods over the last two decades, the
degree of sophistication with which solid surfaces can be engineered today has caused a …

Liquid-vapor phase-change processes have been widely exploited in industrial applications
including power generation, water processing and harvesting, cooling/refrigeration and …

The effect of characteristic of heating surface on nucleate boiling heat transfer is well
reported via many previous results. However, until recently, the study of surface influences …

Osteoblast cell adhesion is the initial step of early osseointegration responding to bone
material implants. Enhancing the osteoblastic cell adhesion has become one of the prime …
