Enhanced Heat Transfer in Biporous Wicks in the Thin Liquid Film Evaporation and Boiling Regimes (2012, background): “For the range of pore sizes investigated here, the effective liquid film thickness at the meniscus has been estimated by several investigators to be under 5 lm [9,18], giving a thin film conductance to be gfilm1⁄4 1/Rfilm1⁄4 13.”
