The study deals with the heat and mass transfer process near the dynamic three-phase
liquid–gas–solid contact line. The evaporating sessile water droplets on a horizontal heated …

The evaporating water droplets on a horizontal heated substrate were experimentally
studied. The constantan foil 25 μm thick with a size of 42× 35 mm 2 was used as a substrate …

Evaporating water drops on a horizontal heated substrate were investigated experimentally.
The heater was made of a constantan foil with the thickness of 25 μm and size of 42× 35 …

A wickless heat pipe was operated on the International Space Station to provide a better
understanding of how the microgravity environment might alter the physical and interfacial …

The Constrained Vapor Bubble (CVB) experiment concerns a transparent, simple,“wickless”
heat pipe operated in the microgravity environment of the International Space Station (ISS) …

Abstract The Constrained Vapor Bubble (CVB), a simple, wickless, heat pipe design that
depends on interfacial forces to drive corner flow in a square cuvette, was studied in the …

Abstract The Constrained Vapor Bubble (CVB) is a transparent, wickless heat pipe
experiment carried out in the US Labs of the International Space Station (ISS). Experiments …

Previous studies on wickless heat pipes showed that a temperature induced “Marangoni
flow” prevents liquid from recirculating to the heater end, and therefore reduces the …

The effect of cooling temperature on heat pipe performance has generally received little
consideration. In this paper, we studied the performance of a Constrained Vapor Bubble …

Bubble nucleation was investigated in a 20-mm-long, wickless heat pipe on the International
Space Station. Over 20 h of running experiments using pentane as the working fluid, more …
