  • Enhanced boiling with selective placement of nucleation sites
    Patent number: 11092391
    Abstract: A heat transfer system includes a substrate having a heat exchange region including a surface having an enhancement region including alternating regions of selectively placed plurality of nucleation sites and regions lacking selectively placed nucleation sites, such that bubble formation and departure during boiling of a liquid in contact with the enhancement region induces liquid motion over the surface of the regions lacking selectively placed nucleation sites sufficient to enhance both critical heat flux and heat transfer coefficient at the critical heat flux in the enhancement region of the system.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 18, 2015
    Date of Patent: August 17, 2021
    Assignee: Rochester Institute of Technology
    Inventors: Satish G. Kandlikar, Chinmay Patil
