Nanofluid Boiling on Micro/Nano-engineered Surfaces.

This work characterizes the impact of boiling aqueous nanofluids on engineered surfaces designed for boiling enhancement with pure water. Although micro/nano-engineered surfaces have been shown to enhance boiling, these achievements are typically demonstrated using deionized water or other purified fluids. In parallel, particulate-laden fluids, also known as nanofluids, have been shown to enhance boiling as well. In this study, we investigate a variety of engineered surfaces and the boiling degradation due to the addition of SiO
