Summary

Reducing wettability of a metal surface is a promising method for enhancing boiling heat transfer of refrigerant–oil mixture on the metal. As fluorinated self-assembled monolayer (F-SAM) coating is effective for wettability reduction, its influence on wetting dynamics including meniscus shape, contact angle, contact line velocity and rising liquid height during evaporation of refrigerant–oil mixture on metal surface were experimentally investigated. The refrigerant–oil mixture was prepared by R141b and NM56, the oil mass fraction ranged from 0 to 10 wt%, and the surface roughness ranged from 0.028 to 1.166 µm. The results show that during evaporation of refrigerant–oil mixture, the presence of F-SAM changes the evaporation mode to be constant contact line velocity followed by both constant contact angle and contact line velocity, while decreases the rising liquid height. The results suggest
that larger surface roughness and higher oil mass fraction are preferred when using F-SAM to reduce surface wettability.
