Owing to their high reliability, simplicity of manufacture, passive operation, and effective heat
transport, flat heat pipes and vapor chambers are used extensively in the thermal …

This third edition offers a comprehensive overview of the latest theories on flow, transport,
and heat-exchange processes in porous media. It also details sophisticated porous media …

Presented here is the first of a two-part investigation designed to systematically identify and
investigate the parameters affecting the evaporation/boiling and critical heat flux (CHF) from …

Enhancement of the critical heat flux in pool boiling by the attachment of a honeycomb-
structured porous plate on a heated surface is investigated experimentally using water …

Presented here is the second of a two-part investigation, designed to systematically identify
and investigate the parameters affecting the evaporation from and boiling within, thin …

Micro heat pipes incorporating advanced wicks are promising for the thermal management
of power electronics. We report the heat transfer performance of superhydrophilic Cu …

POROUS media have long been studied in soil science and engineering. Flow through
porous media has been studied with applications to a number of fields including food …

This paper summarises the progress and the preliminary results of an investigation into the
heat transfer process in wire mesh wicks. Particular emphasis is placed on the boiling and …

The balance between the capillary pressure provided by the wick in a heat pipe or vapor
chamber and the flow resistance to liquid resupply at the evaporator determines the …

We investigate the enhancement in the critical heat flux (CHF) and the heat transfer
coefficient (HTC) during pool boiling for deionized (DI) water using microporous surfaces …
