Banerjee The class of dynamics in pool boiling on a large-size heater is assessed under subcooled pool boiling conditions. Transient surface temperature measurements are obtained using surface micro-machined K-ty...

A high power electronic chip was simulated experimentally to investigate upper cooling capabilities using a variety of pool boiling enhancement techniques. Parametric effects of system pressure, subcooling, surface augmentation, and choice of coolant on boiling heat transfer from a vertical 12.7'x 12.7 mm flat surface were examined. The two fluorocarbon coolants tested, FC-72 and FC-87, resulte...

We study heat transfer from a heated nanoparticle into surrounding fluid using molecular dynamics simulations. We show that the fluid next to the nanoparticle can be heated well above its boiling point without a phase change. Under increasing nanoparticle temperature, the heat flux saturates, which is in sharp contrast with the case of flat interfaces, where a critical heat flux is observed fol...

As the oven temperature is raised at a reproducible rate, analytes are eluted and the areas under the chromatogram are recorded. Boiling points are assigned to the time axis from a calibration curve, known as the boiling-point distribution curve, based on a known mixture of normal paraffin hydrocarbons over a fixed range. These paraffin hydrocarbons serve as markers, which identify the time tha...

One of the major industry problems is the flow boiling, where reaching to the critical heat flux (CHF) condition can lead to a temperature jump and damage of the systems. In the present study, the effects of a uniform change in tube diameter on subcooled flow boiling and CHF was numerically investigated. The Euler-Euler model was used to investigate the relationship between the two liquid and v...

When He gas is injected from room temperature into boiling liquid N2, boiling is suppressed, leaving liquid surface flat like a mirror. Although the qualitative explanation for this phenomenon is known [Minkoff G J et al. Nature 1957;180(4599):14134.], it has not been studied quantitatively and comprehensively yet. In this report, we made careful simultaneous measurements of temperature and wei...

The caloric curve for Na(139)(+) has been measured from 100 K up to the temperature where the clusters are boiling hot and spontaneously emit atoms. In this limit the clusters form an evaporative ensemble, the temperature and energy of which have been determined. As the caloric curve of an atomic gas with a finite number of atoms is known, one can construct the caloric curve for this finite sys...

Boiling heat transfer is a superior heat transfer technology using the latent heat transport with phase-change. However, it has been difficult to employ as a cooling technology for electronics because the unstable transition boiling and film boiling with excessive high temperature are impossible to control. In highly subcooled boiling, the coalescing bubbles formed on the heating surface collap...

The knowledge of the thermodynamic process during the cooling of reproductive biological systems is important to assess and optimize the cryopreservation procedures. The time-temperature curve of a sample immersed in liquid nitrogen enables the calculation of cooling rates and helps to determine whether it is vitrified or undergoes phase change transition. When dealing with cryogenic liquids, t...
