Summary

Boiling heat transfer improvement is now one of the most topical problems in thermophysics, which is associated with the significant increase in the power of modern heat exchange equipment at the constant need to reduce its weight and size parameters. In particular, the development of efficient and reliable cooling systems for high-heat-flux devices based on two-phase heat transfer is an acute issue. Understanding the boiling fundamentals in this regard is one of the most important issues, which will allow to development of the most effective enhancement techniques and the design of new two-phase devices.

This Special Issue is dedicated to the novel results in theoretical, experimental, and numerical studies of boiling heat transfer fundamentals. The current advancements in the research methods for exploring the physics relevant to boiling heat transfer enhancement are also of interest. Papers devoted to the development of novel two-phase heat transfer devices utilizing boiling are also highly encouraged.

 

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

 

· Boiling fundamentals: heat transfer and crisis phenomena development;

· Multiscale boiling characteristics;

· Flow boiling in micro- and macro-channels;

· Fluid dynamics during boiling;

· Boiling improvement techniques;

· Surface modification techniques for boiling improvement;

· Numerical simulation of boiling;

  Abstract To date, using biphilic surfaces is one of the most promising methods for enhancing heat transfer and critical heat flux during boiling simultaneously. However, most of studies on the effect of biphilic surfaces on boiling performance have been carried out under atmospheric pressure conditions. In this context, the issues of heat transfer enhancement and stabilization of the boiling process at subatmospheric pressures are particularly critical due to the interesting characteristics of boiling heat transfer and bubble dynamics at subatmospheric pressures and their practical significance including aerospace applications. This paper investigates the effect of the pitch… More >

  Effect of the Geometrical Parameter of Open Microchannel on Pool Boiling Enhancement

  Ali M. H. Al-Obaidy, Ekhlas M. Fayyadh, Amer M. Al-Dabagh

  Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.22, No.5, pp. 1421-1442, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fhmt.2024.055063

  Abstract High heat dissipation is required for miniaturization and increasing the power of electronic systems. Pool boiling is a promising option for achieving efficient heat dissipation at low wall superheat without the need for moving parts. Many studies have focused on improving heat transfer efficiency during boiling by modifying the surface of the heating element. This paper presents an experimental investigation on improving pool boiling heat transfer using an open microchannel. The primary goal of this work is to investigate the impact of the channel geometry characteristics on boiling heat transfer. Initially, rectangular microchannels were prepared… More >
