Subcooled flow boiling is extensively applied in engineering systems and greatly improves
efficiency owing to bubbles' existence and associated heat exchange enhancement …

Pool boiling curve is the key feature for performance evaluation of phase-change equipment
such as Kettle reboiler, flooded evaporator, falling film evaporator, immersion cooling, and …

The existing nucleate pool boiling correlations have theoretical footings and their usefulness
is restricted by the failure to effectively account for the surface effect. To tackle this problem …

Hypothesis When a droplet starts sliding on a solid surface, the droplet-solid friction force
develops in a manner comparable to the solid–solid friction force, showing a static regime …

This study investigated boiling dynamics near the Critical Heat Flux (CHF) threshold,
utilizing a downward-facing flow setup on a polished copper surface to examine distinct …

A visualization study of the bubble behavior in pool boiling of ultra-pure water and surfactant
aqueous solution (Triton X-114) under different heat fluxes was performed, using a narrow …

Recently, experiments carried out with high-resolution measurement techniques showed a
thin liquid microlayer (∼ μm) formation underneath a growing bubble in nucleate boiling …

Microstructured surfaces with spatial arrangements of hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions
have been widely studied in boiling heat transfer enhancement. In this study, a conceptual …

Recently a new mechanistic model for pool and nucleate flow boiling was developed in our
group. This model is based on the balance of forces acting on a bubble and considers the …

Bubble characteristic sizes are important parameters for the heat transfer and critical heat
flux. Compared to the empirical correlation and force analysis model, the heat balance …
