Liquid-repellent surfaces, such as superhydrophobic surfaces, superoleophobic surfaces,
and slippery liquid-infused surfaces, have drawn keen research interest from the …

High heat load is becoming a barrier in industrial development. This high heat load can be
overcome by increasing the rate of heat transfer. Heat transfer rate can be increased by …

Owing to advances in micro-and nanofabrication methods over the last two decades, the
degree of sophistication with which solid surfaces can be engineered today has caused a …

Transition between nucleate and film boiling potentially causes dramatic temperature
changes during fluxcontrolled operations, which may lead to catastrophic equipment …

Research on nanofluids has progressed rapidly since its enhanced thermal conductivity was
first reported about a decade ago, though much controversy and inconsistency have been …

The effect of characteristic of heating surface on nucleate boiling heat transfer is well
reported via many previous results. However, until recently, the study of surface influences …

Enhancement of nucleate pool boiling by modifying fluid properties has drawn considerable
attention in recent years. This paper provides a comprehensive review of published …

Experiments were performed to highlight the influence of surface wettability on nucleate
boiling heat transfer. Nanocoating techniques were used to vary the water contact angle …

Nanofluid spray/jet impingement cooling is widespread and finds applications in many
scientific and industrial paradigms. Because of these ubiquities of nanofluid spray/jet …

This paper is concerned about pool boiling heat transfer using nanofluids, a subject of
several investigations over the past few years. The work is motivated by the controversial …
