Although micro-and nano-bubble technology has been attracting attention in many fields,
the state of water after the introduction of those bubbles is still not clear. In this study, the …

The classical heterogeneous nucleation theory explains that the groove in the substrate is a
desirable place to breed a bubble nucleus. However, the existing research method cannot …

Molecular dynamics simulations have been conducted to understand the mechanism for
bubble formation on a platinum substrate with particular emphasis on the surface texture …

Nanostructured surfaces have been proved to bring remarkable enhancements in nucleate
boiling heat transfer, which are particularly attractive in thermal energy fields. To fully …

The cooling process on superheated surface at nanoscale is significantly distinct from that at
macroscale or microscale. In this work, the boiling phenomena of liquid argon thin film on …

Because of scaling effect, phase change behaviors of nano-liquid films on solid surfaces
display distinct features from macroscale pool boiling. In this work, evaporation and …

The bubble nucleation of liquid argon over patterned surfaces with different wettabilities is
investigated by using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. In order to study effects of …
