Although the Hertz-Knudsen (HK) relation is often used to correlate evaporation data, the
relation contains two empirical parameters (the evaporation and condensation coefficients) …

Low-Re liquid falling film plays an important role in heat and mass transfer applications. Film
instability, manifested as interface waves, and the resulting Marangoni effect determine the …

The boiling process of argon above solid copper substrates with different surface roughness
levels are investigated using molecular dynamics simulations. The randomly distributed …

Shape memory epoxy resins are one of the most widely used engineering smart polymers,
which is mainly used in active deformation structures in aerospace, intelligent bionics, and …

The accuracy, or even the validity, of the Schrage relationships expressing the rate of
evaporation and condensation in terms of local interfacial thermodynamics properties and …

Molecular dynamics simulation is carried out to study the rapid boiling of liquid water film
heated by a hot copper plate in a confined space. A more physically-sound thermostat is …

Because of scaling effect, phase change behaviors of nano-liquid films on solid surfaces
display distinct features from macroscale pool boiling. In this work, evaporation and …

Phase change from liquid to vapor of the working fluid has been widely used in thermal
control for microelectronic devices. In this study, the effects of nanochannels on the …

Nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations were performed to investigate the effects of
size of nanocone array and types of wall material, ie, aluminum and silver, on the explosive …

An important reason for the century-long debate concerning wetting dynamics is the lack of
decisive information about the contact line. The contact line cannot be treated as a …
