Abstract
⺠A mixture of acetone-hexadecane is quenched to induce spinodal decomposition. ⺠The heat transfer rate is enhanced by self-induced convective effect. ⺠We report a heat-transfer augmentation of up to 150% when phase separation occurs. ⺠We measure the heat transfer with a feedback method instead of a direct measure. ⺠We fabricated three copper microheat exchangers to visualize the induced convection.
