Nanostructured copper interfaces for enhanced boiling.
TL;DR: It appears that the ability of the Cu surface with nanorods to generate stable nucleation of bubbles at low superheated temperatures results from a synergistic coupling effect between the nanoscale gas cavities formed within the nanorod interstices and micrometer-scale defects that form on the film surface during Nanorod deposition.

Numerical modeling of multiphase flows in microfluidics and micro process engineering: a review of methods and applications
TL;DR: A comprehensive review of numerical methods and models for interface resolving simulations of multiphase flows in microfluidics and micro process engineering is presented in this paper, where three common approaches in the sharp interface limit, namely the volume-of-fluid method with interface reconstruction, the level set method and the front tracking method, as well as methods with finite interface thickness such as color function based methods and the phase-field method are discussed.

Nanoengineered materials for liquid–vapour phase-change heat transfer
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an overview of the surface, thermal and material science to illustrate how new materials and designs can improve boiling and condensation, and focus on nanoengineered materials, with emphasis on further improving the heat-transfer performance and long-term robustness.

A composite heat transfer correlation for saturated flow boiling in small channels
TL;DR: In this article, a composite correlation is developed from a database of 3899 data points from 14 studies in the literature covering 12 different wetting and non-wetting fluids, hydraulic diameters ranging from 016 to 292mm, and confinement numbers from 03 to 40.

A model for predicting flow regime transitions in horizontal and near horizontal gas-liquid flow
Yemada Taitel,A. E. Dukler +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a generalized flow regime map based on this theory is presented, which is used for determining flow regime transitions in two-phase gas-liquid flow, and the mechanisms for transition are based on physical concepts and are fully predictive.

Gas–liquid two-phase flow in microchannels Part I: two-phase flow patterns
TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic experimental investigation of two-phase flow patterns in microchannels was the objective of this study, using air and water, experiments were conducted in circular micro channels with 1.1 and 1.45mm inner diameters, and in semi-triangular (triangular with one corner smoothed) cross-sections with hydraulic diameters 1.09 and 149mm.
