Do surfaces with mixed hydrophilic and hydrophobic areas enhance pool boiling?
Amy Betz, Jie Xu, Huihe Qiu +1
We demonstrate that smooth and flat surfaces combining hydrophilic and hydrophobic patterns improve pool boiling performance. Compared to a hydrophilic surface with 7 degree wettin…

Use of a porous membrane for gas bubble removal in microfluidic channels: physical mechanisms and design criteria
Jie Xu, Regis Vaillant, Daniel Attinger
We demonstrate and explain a simple and efficient way to remove gas bubbles from liquid-filled microchannels, by integrating a hydrophobic porous membrane on top of the microchanne…
