Droplet impact on a high-temperature solid surface in the film boiling regime is widely
encountered in various modern industrial and technological applications. The present article …

Adding water to fuel droplets is known to lead to puffing and micro-explosion. Puffing and
micro-explosion lead to a rapid increase in the liquid fuel surface area. This, in turn, leads to …

Tin foil should have outstanding volumetric capacity as a Li-ion battery anode; however, it
suffers from an unacceptable initial coulombic efficiency (ICE) of 10–20%, which is much …

Regulation over the generation of the Leidenfrost phenomenon in liquids is vitally important
in a cutting fluid/tool system, with benefits ranging from optimizing the heat transfer efficiency …

This study investigates low Weber number droplet impact on heated hydrophobic surfaces.
Using synchronized high-speed optical and infrared (IR) imaging, we correlate the droplet …

With the increasing demand for environmental protection, the recovery and reuse of fly ash
has attracted more and more attention. In this paper, the fly ash based porous ceramic …

Textured surface has shown great potential in inhibiting Leidenfrost phenomenon for the
thermal management of high heat flux devices. Although diverse textured surfaces have …

In case of postulated accidents in a nuclear reactor, the fuel rods uncovered from coolant
can be overheated. Immediate quenching of overheated fuel rods is desired. Quenching …

In the present study, the impact and spreading dynamics of a single droplet on a heated
surface are experimentally investigated. Ethanol-water droplets with ethanol concentrations …

Despite spray cooling in the form of droplet boiling on a textured surface being a very
promising phase-change heat dissipating method, the understanding of droplet/bubble two …
