Synergistic enhancement of pool boiling heat transfer by micro-pin-fins and an external electric field at different gravity levels: An experimental study during the parabolic flight campaign

Pool boiling of FC-72 on a smooth silicon surface (SS) and two micro-pin-fin surfaces (PF30–60 and PF50–120) was investigated during the 81st ESA parabolic flight campaign to characterize heat transfer under Lunar (0.16 g 0 ) and Martian (0.38 g 0 ) gravity. Tests covered nominal...
