A study of nucleate boiling heat transfer on hydrophilic, hydrophobic and heterogeneous wetting surfaces (2011, background): “Other researchers [8–12] have used wettability as an important parameter for describing activated nucleate site density and BHT.”
Experimental investigation into the pool boiling heat transfer of aqueous based γ-alumina nanofluids (2005, methodology): “As mentioned previously, dispersants and/or surfactants are often used to stabilise nanoparticle suspensions, which could exert a significant influence on both the rheological behaviour of the fluids and the boiling heat transfer (Wasekar & Manglik, 2000; Yang & Maa, 2001; Wen & Wang, 2002; Yang e”
Surface wettability control by nanocoating: The effects on pool boiling heat transfer and nucleation mechanism (2009, methodology): “One traditional method to modify the liquid contact angle is the use of surfactant solutions as Wen and Wang [2].”
Review of pool boiling enhancement with additives and nanofluids (2018, background): “Wen and Wang [94] confirmed the important role of wettability by adding surfactants to water; they were also successful in correlating their experimental data by incorporating contact angle into Mikic and Rohsenow’s original nucleate boiling correlation [95].”
