This study explores the nuanced interplay between surface wettability and morphology in nucleate boiling heat transfer. Surfaces with identical microstructures but varying are created on copper substrates using laser texturing a hydrophobic agent. The spacing laser-etched microchannels is adjusted to achieve different contact angles percentages of laser-textured areas. Boiling performance assessed variations channel coverage, revealing significant differences hydrophilic surfaces. critical...

In recent years, the field of biomass gasification as a method transforming into more useable gaseous fuel experienced expedited development since it represents prominent way to achieve sustainability goals and targets set by Paris accord and, recently, European Green Deal. The use natural gas is projected reduce with transition toward exploitation renewable gas, while new area hydrogen applications also emerging. However, uncertain production current processes, consumption patterns seen on...
