This paper provides a comprehensive review of published articles addressing passive
enhancement of pool boiling using surface modification techniques. They include …

The rapid development of high-power electronic, energy, and propulsion systems has led us
to the point where the performances of these systems are limited by their cooling capacities …

A hybrid thermal lattice Boltzmann (LB) model is presented to simulate thermal multiphase
flows with phase change based on an improved pseudopotential LB approach (Li et al …

Abstract Effects of wettability on saturated pool boiling heat transfer from a smooth
superheated substrate, with a finite thickness at constant wall temperatures at the bottom …

Many methods for enhancing nucleate pool boiling have been proposed to improve the two-
phase heat transfer performance in recent years. This article offers a comprehensive …

In this paper, the boiling heat transfer performance on a type of hydrophilic-hydrophobic
mixed surfaces and the underlying enhancement mechanism are numerically investigated …

In this paper, pool boiling heat transfer from smooth surfaces with mixed wettability is
investigated based on a recently developed phase-change lattice Boltzmann method, which …

In this article we study systematically the effect of wettability on the onset of boiling on the
same nanometrically smooth surface. By grafting different monolayers of molecules, we …

We used a heating surface composed of a hydrophilic substrate with hydrophobic dots to
characterize the effect of spatially-different surface characteristics on critical heat flux (CHF) …

Electrowetting (EW) has drawn significant research interests in droplet-based microfluidics,
and most applications focus on electronic displays, lab-on-a-chip devices and electro-optical …
