Abstract:We investigated the thermal performance of a novel multiscale evaporator of a 0.23 mm thickness ultrathin vapor chamber which combines a microstructured wettability patterned surface with a nanostructured woven mesh wick. The microstructured wettability patterned surface underneath the nanostructured woven mesh wick can pin the three-phase contact lines on the hydrophilic/hydrophobic boundaries, enlarging the area of thin-film evaporation. Besides, the nanostructured mesh not just provides a large amount of ba… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
