Surface influences on falling film boiling and pool boiling of saturated refrigerants : influences of nanostructures, roughness and material on heat transfer, dryout and critical heat flux of tubes

Falling film evaporators that operate in the nucleate boiling regime in the refrigeration industry offer a number of advantages over their flooded counterparts such as lower refrigerant charge and at times improved heat transfer. Existing literature has not characterised the influence of surface cha...
