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 ...

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 ...

Leading heat and mass transfer scientist John R Thome has published his latest twin-set "Encyclopedia of Two-Phase Heat Transfer and Flow I - Fundamentals and Methods" and "Encyclopedia of Two-Phase ...

Dwight Cooke, a graduate student in the Kate Gleason College of Engineering at Rochester Institute of Technology, won the top award for his research paper at the recent American Indian Science and ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at Oregon State University and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have discovered a new way to apply nanostructure coatings to make heat transfer far more efficient, ...

It may seem illogical, but boiling is a very efficient way to cool engineering components and systems used in the extreme environments of space. An experiment to gain a basic understanding of this ...
