Since the second edition of Liquid-Vapor Phase-Change Phenomena was written, research
has substantially enhanced the understanding of the effects of nanostructured surfaces …

The goal of this study is to investigate film boiling heat transfer (FBHT) on a completely
wettable surface (CWS) with atmospheric, saturated distilled water (T sat∼ 97° C). The CWS …

Above a critical temperature known as the Leidenfrost point (LFP), a heated surface can
suspend a liquid droplet above a film of its own vapor. The insulating vapor film can be …

The effects of surface roughness and inclination on pool boiling heat transfer in saturated
liquid helium at atmospheric pressure were experimentally established. It was found that the …

This paper investigates the mechanism of vapor-film collapse by a propagative collapse for
film boiling at high wall-superheat. It also reports effects of a local-cold spot on both the …

A number of hydrodynamic models for critical heat flux and minimum film boiling rely on
interfacial instability theories. Rayleigh–Taylor instability is one of the important theories …

This study details the development of a new mechanistic approach to predicting heating wall
temperature corresponding to the minimum heat flux (MHF) point for saturated pool boiling …

Transient experiments with liquefied binary mixtures of methane-ethane and methane-
propane boiling on water, show great differences in the boiling characteristics compared to …

WATER jet impingement cooling has been widely used as a highly effective cooling method
in the iron and steel industry, such as in hot-rolling, continuous costing, and forging …

The previously proposed stability theory of vapor film in subcooled film boiling on a sphere
was generalized to take account of interaction between base flow and perturbed …
