This publication lays the foundation for description of Multiscale Boiling Experiment, which was conducted within two measurement campaigns on International Space Station between 2019 and 2021. The experiment addresses fundamental questions about two-phase heat transfer during boiling processes. For this purpose, single or few subsequential bubbles are selectively ignited a heated substrate using short laser pulse. A detailed investigation phenomena is possible, as process temporally slowed...

Laser powder bed fusion enables the fabrication of complex components such as thin-walled cellular structures including lattice or honeycomb structures. Numerous manufacturing parameters are involved in resulting properties fabricated component and a material machine-dependent process window development is necessary to determine suitable map. For thickness, which correlates with parameters, directly influences mechanical component. Thus, dimensionless scaling laws describing correlation...

We report transient heat flux calculations based on temperature measurements during dip-coating of a superheated substrate. During the withdrawal substrate from pool volatile liquid, film finite length forms substrate's surface, locally reducing due to evaporation. The surface solid is measured using high-resolution infrared thermography and used as boundary condition calculate profiles at interface between fluid. shapes these are analyzed with special focus local in thin region near...
