Can multiple flow boiling regimes be reduced into a single one in microchannels?

Fanghao Yang, Xianming Dai, and Yoav Peles et al.

We report that multiple and transitional flow boiling regimes in microchannels can be reduced into a single annular flow from the onset of nucleate boiling to the critical heat flux condition. Hydrophilic silicon nanowires directly grown on inner walls of microchannels were tailored to create boil ... [Appl. Phys. Lett. 103, 043122 (2013)] published Fri Jul 26, 2013.
