... trends in boiling heat transfer data and as a means for developing methods to predict boiling heat transfer. Results are presented that demonstrate how a genetic algorithm and deep learning can be used to extract heat flux dependencies of a binary mixture on wall superheat, gravity, Marangoni effects...

...E. Da Riva; D. Del Col A three-dimensional volume of fluid (VOF) simulation of condensation of R134a inside a 1 mm i.d. minichannel is presented. The minichannel is horizontally oriented and the effect of gravity is taken into account. Simulations have been run both with and without taking...

...Rishi Raj; Jungho Kim A pool boiling regime map demarcating the boundary between the surface tension and buoyancy dominated boiling regimes is developed based on heater size and gravity. For large heaters and/or high gravity conditions, boiling is dominated by buoyancy, and the ebullition cycle...
