Fig. 1: Effects of electric field strength on electric field-enhanced pool boiling.
From: Mesoscopic insights into effects of electric field on pool boiling for leaky dielectric fluids
Selected snapshots comparing experimental results41 (left gray plot) with simulation results (right color plot, in temperature-mapped) for (a) conventional pool boiling and (b) EF pool boiling. c Normalized bubble size distribution for the conventional pool boiling (column data with fitted dashed lines) and EF pool boiling with varying electric capillary number \({{{\rm{Ca}}}}_{{{\rm{e}}}}\) (solid fitted lines). Comparison of the time-resolved evolution of (d) total bubble count (top figure) and averaged bubble radius (bottom figure), (e) transient heat flux \(\widetilde{q}\) for varying \({{{\rm{Ca}}}}_{{{\rm{e}}}}\). The inset in (e) shows averaged heat flux \(\bar{q}\) as a function of \({{{\rm{Ca}}}}_{{{\rm{e}}}}\).
