Potential benefits of electrohydrodynamic enhancement of two-phase heat transfer in the design of refrigeration systems

The physical basis of the electrohydrodynamic (EHD) enhancement of two-phase heat transfer is briefly described in this work. A literature review of previous relevant work is then presented with a discussion of the various enhancement mechanisms in different regimes. The relevance and potential of EHD enhancement to refrigeration systems are evaluated.
