Scientific plot showing the ratio of Critical Heat Flux to evaporation momentum limit versus the heater width divided by liquid capillary length. The data demonstrates a transition in hydrodynamic stability, highlighted by a red-shaded region. An inset photograph shows vapor columns forming above the heater surface during pool boiling.

Our work on critical heat flux during pool boiling is featured on the MAE news! Here, we showed that with the correct hydrodynamic conditions, the maximum heat flux during boiling is in fact 4 times the hydrodynamic limit.

Three-panel figure (A, B, C) showing high-resolution temperature mapping versus time for microchannel flow boiling. Above each plot, microscopic images capture the corresponding annular liquid film behavior, illustrating how intermittent dryout occurs due to thin film evaporation.

Check out our latest paper on characterization of annular flow in microchannel flow boiling! Through high-res temperature mapping on the order of 0.1 ms, we show that intermittent dryout occurs due to thin film evaporation.
