Article Abstract
We study the role of solid-liquid interface thermal resistance (Kapitza resistance) on the evaporation rate of droplets on a heated surface by using a multiscale combination of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and analytical continuum theory. We parametrize the nonbonded interaction potential between perfluorohexane (CF) and a face-centered-cubic solid surface to reproduce the experimental wetting behavior of CF on black chromium through the solid-liquid work of adhesion (quantity directly related to the wetting angle). The thermal conductances between CF and (100) and (111) solid substrates are evaluated by a nonequilibrium molecular dynamics approach for a liquid pressure lower than 2 MPa. Finally, we examine the influence of the Kapitza resistance on evaporation of droplets in the vicinity of a three-phase contact line with continuum theory, where the thermal resistance of liquid layer is comparable with the Kapitza resistance. We determine the thermodynamic conditions under which the Kapitza resistance plays an important role in correctly predicting the evaporation heat flux.

Copper alloys are critical heat sink materials for fusion reactor divertors due to their high thermal conductivity (TC) and strength, yet their performance under extreme particle bombardment and heat fluxes in future tokamaks requires enhancement. While neutron-induced transmutation helium affects the properties of copper, the atomistic mechanisms linking helium bubble size to thermal transport remain unclear. This study employs non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulations to isolate the effect of bubble diameter (10, 20, 30, 40 Å) on TC in copper, maintaining a constant He-to-vacancy ratio of 2.

Although extensive studies have addressed the interfacial thermal resistance, known as Kapitza length, its impact on interfacial heat transfer from nanoscale to microscale remains limited. This study explores the Kapitza length at hydrophilic and hydrophobic solid-liquid interfaces under constant heat flux or overall temperature difference using nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations.

Enhancing the thermal conductivity of polymer-based composites is critical for effective thermal management in power electronics. A common strategy involves incorporating high-thermal-conductivity fillers such as graphene and boron nitride nanosheets (BNNS). However, practical enhancements often fall short of theoretical predictions due to interfacial thermal resistance ().
