Abstract
In recent quenching heat transfer studies of nanofluids, it was found that deposition of nanoparticles on a surface raises its Leidenfrost point (LFP) considerably [ Kim et al., Int. J. Multiphase Flow 35, 427 (2009) and Kim et al., Int. J. Heat Mass Transfer 53, 1542 (2010) ]. To probe the physical mechanism underlying this observation, the effects of surface properties on LFP of water droplets were studied, using custom-fabricated surfaces for which roughness height, wettability, and porosity were controlled at the nanoscale. This approach reveals that nanoporosity is the crucial feature in efficiently increasing the LFP by initiating heterogeneous nucleation of bubbles during short-lived solid-liquid contacts, which results in disruption of the vapor film.
