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 ...

Legions of viruses that infect the leaves of tobacco plants could be the key to making power plants safer, heating and cooling of buildings more efficient, and electronics more powerful. These tiny ...

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 ...

Cryogenic heat transfer and flow dynamics are critical components in numerous industrial and scientific applications, ranging from the safe handling of liquefied gases to advanced space propulsion ...

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 ...
