Abstract The self-rewetting fluid is the liquid which have an anomalous surface tension increasing with temperature when the temperature exceeds a certain value. This particular property can cause the subcooled liquid to be drawn towards the heated surface if a dry patch appears, thus making it possible for the self-rewetting fluids to become promising working fluids. This paper presents an overview of the recent developments of the research on boiling heat transfer using self-rewetting fluids. Thermophysical properties, pool and flow boiling experiments and heat pipe applications of self-rewetting fluids have been reported in this paper. It can be found that the use of self-rewetting fluids in a wide range of applications appears promising. However, further detailed and valuable theoretical and numerical investigations are necessary for us to better understand the boiling phenomenon of self-rewetting fluids.

自润湿流体沸腾传热和热管行为的综述

摘要 自润湿流体是当温度超过一定值时，表面张力随温度升高而增加的异常液体。如果出现干斑，这种特殊性质会导致过冷液体被吸向加热表面，从而使自再润湿流体成为有希望的工作流体。本文概述了使用自润湿流体进行沸腾传热研究的最新进展。本文报道了自润湿流体的热物理特性、池和流动沸腾实验以及热管应用。可以发现，在广泛的应用中使用自再润湿液似乎很有前景。然而，
