Abstract
A theoretical model is developed to describe the hydrodynamic behavior of the vapor-liquid interface of a bubble at the heater surface leading to the initiation of critical heat flux (CHF) condition. The momentum flux resulting from evaporation at the bubble base is identified to be an important parameter. A model based on theoretical considerations is developed for upward-facing surfaces with orientations of 0 deg (horizontal) to 90 deg (vertical). It includes the surface-liquid interaction effects through the dynamic receding contact angle. The CHF in pool boiling for water, refrigerants and cryogenic liquids is correctly predicted by the model, and the parametric trends of CHF with dynamic receding contact angle and subcooling are also well represented

Role of wickability on the critical heat flux of structured superhydrophilic surfaces

TL;DR: Biological templates have been used to demonstrate that wickability is the single factor dictating CHF on structured superhydrophilic surfaces and provides a framework for designing and optimizing coatings for further enhancement.

The maximum and minimum values of the heat Q transmitted from metal to boiling water under atmospheric pressure

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the quantity of heat transmitted from a metal surface to boiling water increases as the temperature difference ΔT is increased, but after the ΔT has reached a certain limit, quantity Q decreases with further increase in ΔT.

The mechanism of heat transfer in nucleate pool boiling—Part I: Bubble initiaton, growth and departure

TL;DR: In this article, a criterion for bubble initiation from a gas filled cavity on a surface in contact with a superheated layer of liquid was developed, and it was found that the temperature of bubble initiation on a given surface is a function of the temperature conditions in the liquid surrounding the cavity as well as the surface properties themselves.
