RT Journal Article ID 6a87dd906886d7dc A1 Utaka, Yoshio A1 Tasaki, Yutaka T1 Effects of Surface Properties and Gap Sizes on Boiling Heat Transfer Characteristics in a Micro-Channel Vapor Generator JF Journal of Enhanced Heat Transfer JO JEH(T) YR 2006 FD 2006-12-04 VO 13 IS 3 SP 245 OP 260 AB Improving the boiling heat transfer characteristics in a micro-channel vapor generator has become an important issue because of space limitations in a fuel cell vehicle.
The effects of the wettability and fine structure of the heating surface on heat transfer characteristics in the micro-channel were evaluated experimentally. An attempt was made to deduce the mechanism that would explain how differences in surface properties influence heat transfer characteristics. Under the experimental conditions used in this study, it was confirmed that wettability affects heat transfer characteristics in the micro-channel and that an improvement in wettability leads to more efficient heat transfer.
