Abstract

Increase in heat duty and demanding requirements on clean and sustainable technology are constantly moving the developments of heat transfer enhancement technology. This chapter presents an up-to-date overview of heat transfer enhancement techniques for two-phase flow (e.g., boiling and condensation) and mainly emphasizes those either commercially used enhancement techniques or the most recent enhancement methods. A special focus is on the enhancement technologies with a relatively low pressure drop penalty. Passive enhancement techniques such as surface coating, roughened and finned surfaces, insert devices, curved geometries and additives are highlighted. Several recent enhancement techniques, e.g., nanoscale surface coatings, microfin tubes and nanoparticle additives, are outlined for their promising potential in enhancing phase-change heat transfer, especially nanoscale surface coatings. Microchannels which can be considered as one of the promising passive enhancement techniques, are not detailed in this chapter as many aspects of microchannels have been covered in the recent literature. Among active enhancement techniques, electrohydrodynamic (EHD) phenomenon and jet impingement are briefly described.
