Abstract:
This work reviews the modern research on the intensification of heat transfer (including a detail review of Russian studies, which are often omitted in international reviews) with the use of advanced passive or semipassive methods of enhancement. A brief historical introduction is given. The review includes research on the intensification of boiling and evaporation heat transfer with commercially available surfaces, as well as promising developments obtained with various modification methods, including mechanical (deformational cutting, application of mesh coatings, etc.) and more resource-intensive modern methods and their combinations, which are used in the creation of multiscale, biphilic, and other micro- and nanostructured surfaces and coatings. It is demonstrated that both—the known mechanical processing methods and advanced methods of surface structuring enable excellent results for heat-transfer enhancement. Attention is primarily given to studies that use relatively simple and readily implemented methods of surface modification that can potentially be used in modern heat- transfer equipment today.
