TL;DR: In this paper, the flow of a locally heated liquid film moving under the friction of gas in a channel is considered through theoretical and numerical modeling and conducting experiments, and the critical heat flux at which an initial stable dry patch forms for a shear-driven liquid film can be several times higher than that for a vertical falling liquid film, making shear driven liquid films more suitable for cooling applications.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the heat and mass transfer process near the dynamic three-phase liquid-gas-solid contact line and found that the maximum heat flux density occurs in the region of the contact line, and it surpasses the average heat flux from the entire foil surface by a factor of 5 − 7.

TL;DR: In this paper, the shape of the film surface is calculated numerically within the thin layer approximation with allowance for the temperature dependence of the viscosity of the liquid and redistribution of the heat flux in the heating element.

TL;DR: In this paper, a smooth tube of inner diameter 4.8 mm and length 200 mm was used to study the condensation of pure ethanol vapor inside a smooth cylindrical tube and the dependence of the Heat Transfer Coefficient (HTC) on the condenser inclination.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the velocity of the vapor-air flow is sufficient to maintain the levitation of droplets over the liquid surface according to the Stokes mechanism.
