The ignition behaviour at ambient pressure (p0 between 98.0 kPa and 101.3 kPa) of different concentrations of homogenous n-heptane/air mixtures on stainless steel hot surface as well as the composition of the reaction products have been investigated. Although all reaction products are present in each burned n-heptane/air mixture, a correlation between the lowest ignition temperature and the quantitve composition of the reaction products is not obvious.

A superwicking Ti-6Al-4V alloy material with a hierarchical capillary surface structure was fabricated using femtosecond laser. The basic capillary surface structure is an array of micropillars/microholes. For enhancing its capillary action, the surface of the micropillars/microholes is additionally structured by regular fine microgrooves using a technique of laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS), providing an extremely strong capillary action in a temperature range between 23 °C and 80 °C. Due to strong capillary action, a water drop quickly spreads in the wicking surface structure and forms a thin film over a large surface area, resulting in fast evaporation. The maximum water flow velocity after the acceleration stage is found to be 225–250 mm/s. In contrast to other metallic materials with surface capillarity produced by laser processing, the wicking performance of which quickly degrades with time, the wicking functionality of the material created here is long-lasting. Strong and long-lasting wicking properties make the created material suitable for a large variety of practical applications based on liquid-vapor phase change. Potential significant energy savings in air-conditioning and cooling data centers due to application of the material created here can contribute to mitigation of global warming.

An analytical model for falling-film wetting of a hot surface has been developed to account for the effect of cooling by droplet-vapor mixture in the region immediately ahead of the wet front. The effect of precursory cooling is characterized by a heat transfer coefficient decaying exponentially from the wet front. Based on the present model, the wet front velocity, as well as the temperature profile along a thin slab, can be calculated. It is demonstrated that the precursory cooling can increase the wet front velocity by an order of magnitude. Existing experimental data with variable flow rates at atmospheric pressure are shown to be successfully correlated by the present model.
