Experimental Study of Nucleate Boiling Bubble Dynamics and Heat Transfer Enhancement on Printed Bi-functional Surfaces

Creator:

David, Michele

Abstract:

Boiling heat transfer is studied for its ability to dissipate high fluxes and achieve heat transfer coefficients two orders of magnitude greater than single-phase heat transfer systems. Heater surface enhancement with increased surface area, varied geometry, wettability contrast and micro/nano-structures can further enhance boiling heat transfer performance through bubble nucleation...
