This study reviews self-rewetting fluids, utilizing Marangoni effect and thermocapillary flow for enhanced heat transfer. These fluids promote liquid inflow at nucleation sites during boiling, improving thermal management.

Area of Science:

  • Fluid dynamics
  • Heat transfer
  • Phase change phenomena

Background:

  • The study focuses on self-rewetting fluids, characterized by a unique boiling behavior.
  • The Marangoni effect and thermocapillary flow play crucial roles in fluid dynamics during boiling.
  • Previous research explored heat transfer enhancement in microgravity boiling.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review heat transfer studies on self-rewetting fluids.
  • To detail the mechanisms of liquid inflow at nucleation sites during boiling.
  • To present the progress in applying these fluids to thermal management devices.

Main Methods:

  • Review of experimental studies on self-rewetting fluids.
  • Analysis of vapor bubble dynamics and behavior.
