Critical heat flux enhancement in pool boiling through increased rewetting on nanopillar array surfaces

Abstract Boiling is a key heat transfer process for a variety of power generation and thermal management technologies. We show that nanopillar arrays fabricated on a substrate enhance both the critical heat flux (CHF) and the critical temperature at CHF of the substrate and thus, effectively increas...
