The 25th Heat Transfer Photogallery was sponsored by the K-22 Heat Transfer Visualization Committee for the 2017 International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exhibition (IMECE) held in the Tampa Convention Center, Tampa, FL, Nov. 3–9, 2017. Ten entries were submitted into the Photogallery sessions, and the peer-reviewed evaluation conducted by both the participants and selected HTD K-22 Technical Committee members has identified the four final entries for publication in this ASME Journal of Heat Transfer August issue of 2018.
The purpose of publishing these entries is to draw attention to the innovative features of visualization techniques and esthetic qualities of heat and mass transport phenomena. This Photogallery issue covers multiscale visualizations of gas dynamics, impinging jets, condensation and boiling heat transfer on nano-engineered surfaces, and droplet–surface interactions. To focus on visualization images and schematics for each entry, the text is kept to a minimum, and further details should be found directly...
