Abstract

Some of the ubiquitous terminologies used in this book are defined initially, as a caveat and to allay potential confusion. A considerable portion of this book is based on contents from a previous publication (Singh N, 2010, PhD Thesis, Texas A&M University). The nanofin effect and the associated nuances of this phenomenon are introduced in this chapter.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Similarly, in boiling literature, “microlayer” refers to molecular structures of the nonvapor phase (liquid or semisolid structures) that are estimated to be ~100 nm thick. “Microparticles” and “microstructures” refer to features with dimensions in the range of 1–500 microns (μm), where 1 μm = 10−6 m.
