Effect of wettability on flow boiling heat transfer in a microtube

As one of the main factors, surface wettability significantly affects flow boiling characteristics. In this study, the wettability effect in a microtube was presented by a numerical method. A gas-liquid phase-change model was adopted to research characteristics of two-phase flow and heat transfer. T...
