The old saw that a watched pot never boils may not apply to pots given an ultra-thin layer of aluminum oxide, which researchers have reported can double the heat transfer from a hot surface to a ...

Leading heat and mass transfer scientist John R Thome has published his latest twin-set "Encyclopedia of Two-Phase Heat Transfer and Flow I - Fundamentals and Methods" and "Encyclopedia of Two-Phase ...

Researchers at MIT have found that relatively simple, microscale roughening of a surface can dramatically enhance its transfer of heat. Such an approach could be far less complex and more durable than ...

Developments in many modern applications are encountering rapid escalation in heat dissipation, coupled with a need to decrease the size of thermal management hardware. These developments have spurred ...
