Flow boiling is a fundamental physical phenomenon in heat-exchanger design, yet its complex multiphase, multiscale heat-transfer mechanisms remain only partially systematized. This project uses thermo-informatics — the fusion of thermal engineering and information science — to organize heat-transfer mechanisms in flow boiling. By combining experimental observation with data-driven analysis, the project aims to deliver foundational knowledge that supports refrigerant transition for environmental conservation and informs the design of next-generation heat exchangers in the refrigeration and HVAC field.
