Published in 2018 at "International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer"

DOI: 10.1016/j.ijheatmasstransfer.2018.04.110

Abstract: Abstract The flat micro-heat pipe (FMHP), a high-efficiency heat conducting device, mainly depends on the phase change backflow in the internal micro-groove to enhance the heat transfer. Thus, the smaller capillary structure and higher capillary… read more here.

Published in 2021 at "Journal of Molecular Liquids"

DOI: 10.1016/j.molliq.2021.116276

Abstract: Abstract The hydrophobicity of a surface is greatly enhanced by engraving the nanoscale trenches on the surface. By using all-atom molecular dynamics simulation, we studied the thermally activated process of the (de)wetting of the trenches… read more here.

Published in 2017 at "Ultrasonics sonochemistry"

DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2016.09.011

Abstract: Ultrasonic radiation can modify some physical properties in liquid/solid interactions, such as wettability. The dependence of solid surface wettability on its vibrational state was studied. Experiments with an interface formed by distilled water deposited on… read more here.

Published in 2018 at "Heat Transfer Engineering"

DOI: 10.1080/01457632.2017.1369845

Abstract: ABSTRACT The enhancement of pool boiling heat transfer in FC-72 on a novel mixed-wettability surface was experimentally investigated. On the mixed-wettability surface, the micro-pin-finned area and the smooth area were distributed in the form of… read more here.
