Uni-directional liquid spreading on asymmetric nanostructured surfaces
TL;DR: The design of asymmetric nanostructured surfaces can be harnessed to achieve uni-directional liquid spreading, where the liquid propagates in a single preferred direction and pins in all others, in order to achieve active control of complex flow patterns and wetting on demand.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structured surfaces for enhanced pool boiling heat transfer
TL;DR: In this paper, surface roughness-augmented wettability on critical heat flux (CHF) during pool boiling with horizontally oriented surfaces was investigated, and an analytical force-balance model was extended to explain the CHF enhancement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hierarchically structured surfaces for boiling critical heat flux enhancement
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported large enhancements in critical heat flux (CHF) on hierarchically structured surfaces, fabricated using electrophoretic deposition of silica nanoparticles on microstructured silicon and electroplated copper microstructures covered with copper oxide (CuO) nanostructures.

TL;DR: In this article, the role of surface microstructures in two-phase microchannels on suppressing flow instabilities and enhancing heat transfer was investigated and a critical heat flux (CHF) of 969 W/cm2 was achieved with a structured surface, a 57% enhancement compared to a smooth surface.
