“…For convective boiling, such mass transfer resistance also appears at the evaporation interface, however, the mixture mass diffusion effect is less pronounced compared with that in nucleate boiling [18,19]. In addition, another two important reasons for the heat transfer degradation in convective boiling are i) the smaller values of the mixture physical properties compared to the ideal values (which are obtained by linear interpolation between the physical properties of the two pure-fluid components) [6,18,20], and ii) the additional sensible heat transfer to the liquid and vapor phases due to the increase of the bubble point temperature along the flow direction caused by the variation of the liquid-phase composition [10], weakening the performance of the boiling process compared to a pure latent heat transfer process in isothermal vaporization of a pure working fluid.…”
