A systematic study of pool boiling heat transfer on structured porous surfaces: From nanoscale through microscale to macroscale

An experimental study has been conducted to examine the effects of macroscale, microscale, and nanoscale surface modifications in water pool boiling heat transfer and to determine the different heat transfer enhancing mechanisms at different scales. Nanostructured surfaces are created b...
