...Xiao Cheng; Huiying Wu The dry-out easily occurs on high-aspect ratio microchannel sidewalls due to the decreasing of liquid film thickness. In this paper, the triangular microgrooves possessing the characteristic of evaporating meniscus were designed on the microchannel sidewalls. The heat sink...

... magnitude of CHF enhancement in pure water as for nanofluids. Subsequent to the boiling experiments, the interfacial properties of the heater surfaces were examined using dynamic wetting of an evaporating water droplet. As the surface temperature increased, the evaporating meniscus on the clean surface...

... disjoining pressure evaporating meniscus Marangoni stresses nanoparticles retarded dispersion constant The fluid flow in the thin-film region of an extended meniscus and, hence, the phase change at the liquid-vapor interface near the thin-film region depends mainly on the variation...
