Abstract

This paper investigates the flow boiling heat transfer in microchannels with the aim of developing compact cooling systems which can be adapted to miniaturized power components. Nano- and micro-surface treatments were used as innovative techniques to improve the heat transfer performance as well as to delay the intermittent dryout. It was observed that the micro-structured surfaces show significant enhancements (up to 85%) in heat transfer compared to the smooth surfaces. Especially, using the highly-wetted structured surface, the intermittent dryout is improved.
