Abstract:Heat transfer and liquid flow near solid-liquid interfaces for evaporating thin films in microchannels were investigated based on the augmented Young-Laplace equation and kinetic theory. A wall-affected nanolayer was used to correlate the Kapitza resistance with the liquid layering and velocity slip for both hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces. This nanolayer physical model was developed to show the combined effects of the solid-liquid interfacial temperature slip and the velocity slip on the thin-film evapor… 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.
