Augmentation of two-phase and single-phase heat transfer and mass transport with electrohydrodynamics in thermal equipment

Abstract

Significant work on EHD enhanced heat transfer and mass transport has been performed by researchers around the world for the last twenty years with a focus on industrial applications. There is still a significant amount of applied and fundamental research required before the EHD phenomena can be utilized in an industrial setting. However, it is expected that within the next decade some EHD enhanced industrial applications will become a reality.
