Machine‐Learning‐Enabled Wood with Nanopump Functionalization for Solar Interfacial Evaporation
ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.This study employed machine learning to design an iron‐cobalt‐carbon‐wood photothermal material, achieving high‐efficiency evaporation at 2.807 kg m−2 h−1 and excellent salt resistance. The integrated system increased the daily water production efficiency of solar distillation by 1.5 times, providing an innovative solution for sustainable seawater ...

Experimental Factors and Techniques for Pool Boiling Heat Transfer Enhancement: A Critical Review
Heat Transfer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This review presents a comprehensive assessment of active strategies for enhancing pool boiling heat transfer, with a focus on techniques that do not rely solely on the boiling surface modification. It examines a broad range of methodologies including fluid additives, external fields, mechanical interventions, and thermal‐geometric tuning that
