The effect of thermally-insulating layer, particularly oxide layer as found in metallurgical
applications, on the water spray-cooling process was discussed. Such layers have been …

The main obligation in achieving high cooling rates in case of spray cooling at high surface
temperature is the occurrence of film boiling phenomenon. Although the high mass flux …

The present work aimed to conduct the visualization study on the effect of the ethylene glycol
concentration on the interfacial behavior of successive droplets during the impacting onto a …

The surface/interfacial properties of liquid at elevated temperatures are fundamental issues
for wide applications where the surface force matters. The dynamic characteristics of wetting …

In case of spray evaporative cooling, the heat transfer rate is controlled by various factors
such as droplet renewal rate, Leidenfrost effect, and the rate of heat extraction by each …

The effect of surface roughness on the dynamic behavior and the heat transfer phenomena
of multiple successive micrometric water droplets impacting onto inclined heated solid …

Physical mechanisms of explosive boiling of an ethanol-in-decane emulsion droplet are
investigated by numerical simulation. Vapor bubble growth due to explosive boiling leads to …

We studied the in situ transition of the droplets' wetting state on the heated solid surfaces.
The wetting behaviors of four micro-and nanostructured surfaces with different chemical …

A theoretical study was conducted to analyze the transient evaporation characteristics of
water film attaching to an adiabatic solid wall, with its other surface exposed to moist air. An …

The interfacial dynamics of the micrometric size liquid droplets during impact onto inclined
hot surfaces have been experimentally studied. The inclination angles were varied at 15° …
