TL;DR: In this paper, the critical heat flux and heat transfer coefficient of de-ionized (DI) water pool boiling have been experimentally studied on a plain surface, one uniform thick porous structure, two modulated porous structures and two hybrid modulated structures.

TL;DR: In this paper, the mixing effect of the base fluid in the immediate vicinity of the nanoparticles caused by the Brownian motion was analyzed, modeled and compared with existing experimental data available in the literature.

TL;DR: In this article, a comparison of the measured data obtained using these two different experimental systems at room temperature was conducted and the experimental data at higher temperatures were obtained with steady-state cut-bar method and compared with previously reported data obtained with a transient hot-wire method.

TL;DR: In this paper, a discussion on heat and mass transfer in fluids with nanoparticle suspensions is presented, and a graphical representation of the thermal conductivity as a function of volume fraction of Al 2 O 3 powders in different fluids is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of macroscale, microscale, and nanoscale surface modifications in water pool boiling heat transfer and to determine the different heat transfer enhancing mechanisms at different scales were examined.
