Surface wettability enhancement on oxide film coated-steels due to gamma-ray irradiation

Regarding a severe accident of supercritical water-cooled reactor (SCWR), phase change between subcritical and supercritical conditions is crucial since heat transfer rate changes massively causing a dryout accident. Fundamental knowledge on surface wettability and boiling heat transfer on metals at...
