Control of nucleate boiling with micro-machined surface features

This thesis discusses the production and use of laser-machined boiling grids that provide controlled nucleate boiling and enhanced heat transfer characteristics for application primarily to IC engine cooling systems. The surface features of heated plates are known to have a significant effect on nuc...
