Abstract: We demonstrated suppressed dryout on structured surfaces during flow boiling in microchannels. We designed and fabricated microchannels with welldefined silicon micropillar arrays (heights of ~25 آµm, diameters of 10 آµm ...

Abstract: We captured interesting static and dynamic behavior of the liquidvapor interface in welldefined silicon micropillar arrays during thermally driven evaporation of water from the microstructured surface. The 3D shape of the ...

Abstract: This paper studies the effects of plasma-induced cracks on rock cutting to support the concept of a plasma-integrated drag bit for accelerated geothermal drilling through hard rocks. For this, a single polycrystalline ...

Abstract: We investigated the role of surface microstructures in twophase microchannels on suppressing flow instabilities and enhancing heat transfer. We designed and fabricated microchannels with welldefined silicon micropillar ...
