Early Onset of Nucleate Boiling on Gas-covered Biphilic Surfaces

Abstract For phase-change cooling schemes for electronics, quick activation of nucleate boiling helps safeguard the electronics components from thermal shocks associated with undesired surface superheating at boiling incipience, which is of great importance to the long-term system stability and reli...
