Jeremy Cho (Mechanical Engineering), along with doctoral student Mario Mata, master's student Brandon Ortiz, and undergraduate students Dhruv Luhar and Vesper Evereux, published a paper titled, "How dynamic adsorption controls surfactant-enhanced boiling," in Scientific Reports.
The work breaks conventional wisdom on how surfactants can be used to enhance boiling heat transfer—a widely used process in industrial, chemical, and energy generation settings. The work is published as an open-access article thanks to funding form the UNLV Open Article Fund.
