This GRS will cover all aspects of micro and nanoscale phase change phenomena ranging from basic to applied research. Oral and poster presentations will include new measurement and characterization techniques and latest discoveries in theoretical description of phase change phenomena. Furthermore, advances in phase change heat transfer enhancement through the modification of fluids, surfaces, and interfaces will be discussed alongside modeling and simulation of micro and nanoscale phase change phenomena. Finally, various applications of phase change heat transfer including but not limited to thermal management, boiling/condensation, water harvesting, and heat pipe design will be presented.
