Nano-engineered structured boiling surfaces have shown great promise in the improvement of heat dissipation performance in thermal management applications. Electrodeposited copper foams have attracted lots of scientific and engineering interest owing to their multi-tier structures. In this study, hierarchical copper foams with ultra-wicking properties were fabricated using cathodic deposition at different pH, including both acidic (pH 0) and basic (pH 10 and 12) solutions. Pendant droplet wicking tests and pool boiling experiments were performed to characterize the wicking flux and the critical heat flux (CHF) of the fabricated copper foams, respectively. The high-speed optical images were analyzed to examine the effect of surface wickability on bubble dynamics. The CHF enhancement mechanism in hierarchical copper foams was investigated by characterizing the acoustic emissions (AE) generated during wicking and boiling vapor dynamics. The results show that base-deposited copper foams (pH 10 and 12) yield higher wicking flux and higher boiling CHF than acid-deposited copper foam (pH 0) due to smaller dendrites and crystallites. The effect of the surface structures on bubble dynamics is probed by analyzing the maximum bubble size, bubble count, and the power and dominant frequency of vapor fraction at varying heat fluxes from high-speed videos. The results reveal no significant differences between tested surfaces (polished copper and copper foams deposited at pH 0, 10, and 12) when the heat flux is kept the same. Additionally, acoustic emissions were used to understand the CHF enhancement mechanisms in different copper foam structures. While investigating the AE data, the results show consistent acoustic signatures between wicking and boiling, that is, a smaller AE amplitude is observed for higher wicking flux and higher CHF. Initiation of CHF during pool boiling was a prime source for AE and these were recognized with AE parametric study. Combing the optical and acous

The effect of the surface structures on bubble dynamics is probed by analyzing the maximum bubble size, bubble count, and the power and dominant frequency of vapor fraction at varying heat fluxes from high-speed videos. The results reveal no significant differences between tested surfaces (flat copper and copper foams deposited at pH 0, 10, and 12) when the heat flux is kept the same. On the other hand, acoustic emissions (AE) are used to characterize the copper foam structures in both wicking and boiling tests. The results show consistent acoustic signatures between wicking and boiling that smaller AE amplitude is observed for higher wicking flux and higher CHF. Combing the optical and acoustic analysis, it is concluded that the main role of surface structures play in CHF enhancement is through improving capillary wicking underneath the bubbles rather than affecting the dynamics of the apparent liquid-vapor interfaces. This study not only explores the relationship between electrochemical control and wicking properties but also demonstrates the role of wicking in structure-enhanced boiling CHF through acoustic emission ana

The current global plastic crisis is triggered by several factors including increased costs of petrochemical feedstock and Covid-19 disruption of the transport sector(Yuan et al.,2021).This disruption of world-wide supply chains of polyethylene,polypropylene and other petroleum-based hydrocarbon chemicals has significantly increased shortage and prices of plastics in for example Europe over the last year,hence calling for sustainable alternatives to conventional plastics(WMW,2021,European Plastic Manufacturers sound the Alarm Bell on Supply Chain Disruption,Waste Management World.).This is critical due to extensive use of the non-biodegradable personal protective equipment(PPE)masks in the current pandemic,which might be even worse than the shortage of polyolefins at the moment(Deng et al.,2022).
