Boiling heat transfer is a fundamental process in thermal management systems, where the efficient removal of heat is achieved through phase change. This process involves the formation, growth, and ...

Jet impingement heat transfer and boiling dynamics represent a synergistic approach that combines the targeted delivery of a fluid jet with the phase change processes of nucleate boiling to achieve ...

The old saw that a watched pot never boils may not apply to pots given an ultra-thin layer of aluminum oxide, which researchers have reported can double the heat transfer from a hot surface to a ...

Scientists have made a discovery about the properties of water that could provide an exciting addendum to a phenomenon established over two centuries ago. The discovery also holds interesting ...

Water can exist in three phases: a frozen solid, a liquid, and a gas. When heat is applied to a frozen solid, it becomes a liquid. When applied to the liquid, it becomes vapor. This elementary ...
