Effects of Micro/Nano-Scale Surface Characteristics on the Leidenfrost Point Temperature of Water

In recent film boiling heat transfer studies with nanofluids, it was reported that deposition of nanoparticles on a surface significantly increases the nominal minimum heat flux (MHF) or Leidenfrost Point (LFP) temperature, considerably accelerating the transient cooling of overheated objects. It wa...
