Role of trapped liquid in flow boiling inside micro-porous structures: pore-scale visualization and heat transfer enhancement

H Hu, P Jiang, F Huang, R Xu - Science Bulletin, 2021 - Elsevier
Flow boiling is an important heat dissipation method for cooling high heat flux surfaces in
many industrial applications. The heat transfer can be further enhanced by using porous …

Equilibrium states of a liquid bridge between flexible sheets

M Boudina, GJ Elfring - Langmuir, 2024 - ACS Publications
We study the equilibrium states of a drop between flexible sheets clamped on both ends.
Revisiting first the case of parallel sheets, we find multiple equilibria, which we classify in a …

Measuring force of droplet detachment from hydrophobic surfaces via partial cloaking with ferrofluids

M Jamali, HV Tafreshi - Langmuir, 2020 - ACS Publications
This paper presents a new approach to measure the force required to detach a water (a
polar liquid) droplet from a hydrophobic surface. This is done by partially cloaking the …

Evaporation and instability of an unbounded-axisymmetric liquid bridge between chemically similar and different substrates

T Soori, T Ward - Journal of colloid and interface science, 2019 - Elsevier
