Critical heat flux enhancement in microgravity conditions coupling microstructured surfaces and electrostatic field
Abstract We run pool boiling experiments with a dielectric fluid (FC-72) on Earth and on board an ESA parabolic flight aircraft able to cancel the effects of gravity, testing both highly wetting microstructured surfaces and plain surfaces and applying an external electric field that creates gravity-...
