TL;DR: A review of the literature on the factors affecting microscale evaporation, which include the properties and temperature of the solid substrate, vapor transport in the gas domain, microconvection, and engineered surface features, is presented in this paper.

TL;DR: The microfabrication of a silicon membrane that can retain exceptionally low surface tension fluorinated liquids against a significant pressure difference across the membrane via an array of porous micropillar structures is demonstrated and can facilitate the routing and phase management of dielectric working fluids for application in heat exchangers.

TL;DR: In this article, the feasibility of using molten salt nanofluid as the TES medium has been examined comprehensively based on its thermophysical property, corrosion behavior, and the economic value.

TL;DR: Analyzing the retention of microdroplets with high and low surface tensions on axisymmetric and asymmetric porous micropillar structures provides new insights to the rational design of surface micro-/nanoengineered structures for tuning the surface wetting characteristics in scientific and engineering applications.

TL;DR: The simulation results, agreeing within 5% with the experimental measurements, show that increasing the micropillar height enhances the total evaporation rate from the suspended hemispherical droplet, due to a dramatic improvement of the local evAPoration rate near the contact line region as micropillsar heights increase.
