The rapid advancement of engineering systems has spurred the search for innovative
thermal management solutions. Boiling, as a phase‐change heat transfer method, has …

Boiling is a multiscale phenomenon. Nucleation and rapid bubble growth at the heated wall
provide a highly localized mechanism for heat transfer to the surrounding liquid. The liquid …

Evaporation-driven liquid flow through nanochannels has attracted extensive attention over
recent years due to its applications in mass and heat transfer as well as energy harvesting. A …

Droplet wicking and evaporation in porous nanochannels is experimentally studied on a
heated surface at temperatures ranging from 35 to 90° C. The fabricated geometry consists …

Boiling heat transfer intensification is of significant relevance to energy conversion and
various cooling processes. This study aimed to enhance the saturated pool boiling of FC-72 …

Cross-connected buried nanochannels of height∼ 728 nm, with micropores of∼ 2 μm
diameter present at each intersection, are used in this work to numerically and …

Hypothesis Transpiration occurs in 100 m tall redwood trees where water is passively pulled
against gravity requiring the evaporating liquid meniscus in stomata pores to be under …

Open microchannels and micro/nanoporous coatings by nanofluid boiling have been used
separately by earlier researchers to improve heat transfer during pool boiling. The combined …

In this study, molecular dynamics simulations are performed to estimate the equilibrium
pressure of liquid confined in nanopores. The simulations show that pressure is highly …

Geological formations have superior wickability and support the absorption of water and oils
into narrow spaces of Earth's crust without external assistance. In this study, we present …
