Implementation of the mechanistic wall boiling model in IC engine cooling gallery simulation
The ever increasing power rates of modern IC engines pose a great challenge for maintaining the optimal temperature conditions. The current trend in the thermal management of IC engines is to utilize the limited and controlled nucleate boiling to achieve

Gravity independent subcooled flow boiling heat transfer regime
Abstract Using an existing model for vapor bubble detachment, a subcooled flow boiling regime was identified where vapor bubble dynamics are independent of the gravitational field. The Jakob number and a dimensionless flow parameter were used to identify the boundaries of this regime.

Subcooled boiling incipience on a highly smooth microheater
Abstract Subcooled boiling incipience on a highly smooth microscale heater (270 μm × 270 μm) submerged in FC-72 liquid is investigated. Using high-speed imaging and a transient heat flux measurement technique, the mechanics of homogeneous nucleation on the heater are elucidated.
