نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent research progress in the area of nano/micro scale nucleate boiling is reviewed and an up-to-date summary is provided with a focus on the advances of fundamental boiling physics. This review examines nano/micro scale pool boiling experimental and theoretical/numerical work reported in the open literature. On the experimental side, the topics covered are moving contact line, critical heat flux, boiling curve, nucleation, single bubble boiling cycle, bubble coalescence boiling cycle, heater size effect, nanofluid, and nanoscale-structured heater surface. For the theoretical/numerical work, continuum mechanics modeling of the micro-region and molecular dynamics modeling of the nano-region are included.

متن کاملMechanism and Prevention of Scale Formation in Boilers
Nucleate boiling heat transfer coefficients may be strongly reduced by scale formation, even for conditions where the bulk foulant concentration is well below the saturation concentration. Due to the mechanism of micro-layer evaporation, the local concentration at the heat transfer surface can be considerably increased, causing the formation of scale and changes in bubble frequency and bubble d...

Heat transfer on the microand nano-scales has quickly become an important area of research and development due to its implications for use in MEMS/NEMS devices and electronics cooling [1–4] in the past decade. As these devices become more powerful with reduced volume/surface they will in turn generate more heat in a small area within a short time period, which needs to be removed as efficiently...
