The present work has been undertaken with an aim to address major challenges during two-
phase flow boiling in microchannels. A comprehensive review of literatures has been …

Evaporation from thin films is a key feature of many processes, including energy conversion,
microelectronics cooling, boiling, perspiration, and self-assembly operations. The phase …

Microchannel surfaces are common to microfluidics, biofluidics, thermal management, and
energy applications. Due to processing limitations for the majority of metallic materials, the …

Flow boiling with deionized water in silicon (Si) microchannels was drastically enhanced in
a single annular flow boiling regime enabled by superhydrophilic Si nanowire inner walls …

The pool boiling heat transfer on copper nanowire arrays has been experimentally studied.
Five different copper nanowire arrays with various lengths (3 μm, 5 μm, 10 μm, 20 μm, and …

Flow boiling in microchannels is promising to enhance electronic heat dissipation (urgently
required). However, vigorous boiling in a narrow space can trigger serious flow reversal and …

Flow boiling heat transfer enhancement using porous coatings in microchannels has been
experimentally investigated with HFE-7200. Results of the coated microchannel heat sink …

With fast growing power consumption and device miniaturization, micro/minichannels are
superior to macrochannels or conventional channels for high heat-flux dissipation due to …

Silicon microchannels with microporous decorated sidewalls were applied to enhance water
flow boiling heat transfer, especially the critical heat flux (CHF). In experiments, a CHF of …

In conventional microchannels, the flow boiling performances are strongly affected by the
highly transitional two-phase flow regimes. In this study, a novel capillary structure made …
