In recent years, numerous advances in microscale and macroscale two-phase heat transfer have been made. Especially, flow boiling and condensation in microchannels have received a lot of attention for fundamental research, primarily for applications to electronics cooling systems whilst enhanced boiling and condensation surfaces continue to be developed and applied to refrigeration systems, for example. In addition, advancements in micro- and nano-fabrication have led to novel and unique phenomena and functionalities both in boiling and condensation phase-change.
While there is significant similarity in the boiling and condensation processes; in recent years, multidisciplinary research works coupled with new functionalities as well as prediction methods in the literature do empower a colorful and complex range of basic science and phenomena surrounding these phase-change processes. This conference, ICBCHT11, thus presents an auspicious opportunity for the coordination of all two-phase heat transfer efforts (boiling and condensation) at an international level.
