Effect of Functional Surfaces with Gradient Mixed Wettability on Flow Boiling in a High Aspect Ratio Microchannel

Flow boiling is one of the most effective phase-change heat transfer mechanisms and is strongly dependent on surface properties. The surface wettability is a crucial parameter, which has a considerable effect on the heat transfer performance, particularly in flow boiling. The contact angle determine...
