Abstract: In this paper, heat transfer enhancement in an evaporating thin film along the wall of a microchannel under an imposed inhomogenous electrostatic field is analyzed. The mathematical model, based on the augmented Young–Laplace equation with… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Evaporation in a thin film induces pronounced temperature gradient and surface tension gradient along the liquid-vapor interface and in turn engenders thermocapillary flow. This study aims to investigate the fluid flow characteristics attributed to… read more here.
