Review of graphene enhanced boiling heat transfer

Graphene is a new material discovered at the beginning of the 21st century that is now a key research topic due to its excellent properties in many fields.This article reviews the domestic and foreign literature on boiling with graphene solutions and graphene coatings to show the current research progress on graphene materials for heat transfer enhancement.The current research can be classified into two categories.One is on the effects of graphene as nano particles for enhancing the heat transfer of base fluids.The other is on the effect of a graphene layer on the heat transfer from substrates.In most cases,the heat transfer is enhanced by the graphene with these results providing a reference for research on graphene-enhanced heat transfer.
