Developments in many modern applications are encountering rapid escalation in heat dissipation, coupled with a need to decrease the size of thermal management hardware. These developments have spurred ...

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 ...

The boiling of water or other fluids is an energy-intensive step at the heart of a wide range of industrial processes, including most electricity generating plants, many chemical production systems, ...

The top image shows the schematic of liquid film boiling, where both vibrant bubbles inside the liquid film and the evaporation atop dissipate the heat. The bottom left image shows the experimental ...

Early implementation of phase change cooling has seen a lot of work in understanding pool boiling. While being simple in comparison to two-phase flow systems, they are very useful when trying to ...

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 ...
