Condensation of water vapor on metal surfaces has a plethora of engineering applications in the energy sector. This study demonstrates an approach of estimating the condensation …
The interaction of rising gas bubbles with submerged air-repelling or air-attracting surfaces is relevant to various technological applications that rely on gas-microvolume handling or …
A hybrid vapor chamber (wick-lined evaporator and wickless condenser) is fabricated and tested on a custom-made power electronic setup to demonstrate its efficacy in cooling power-…
Condensation heat transfer is a key process in various areas such as power generation, seawater desalination, fog harvesting, and thermal management. There are two well-known …
The term "vapor chamber" has been used to describe a device that spreads heat, as opposed to the term "thermal diode" that has been assigned to a device technically designed to …
The worldwide power electronics market is expected to expand at an annual growth rate of 4.7% from USD 35.1 billion in 2020 to USD 44.2 billion by 2025 [1]. This rise is fueled by the …
Surface wettability engineering is a robust technique for manipulating liquids and gases on open surfaces in isothermal and non-isothermal conditions. In this work, five different …
While the spreading of liquid droplets on wettability-confined paths has been widely studied in the past decade, a quantitative study of the inverse scenario of a gas bubble spreading on …
Heat pipes (HP) are metal-wick equipped cooling devices that circulate a phase-changing liquid to transfer heat over long distances more efficiently than solid-metal heat sinks. Metal …
