Nucleate boiling is one of the most efficient heat transfer mode and is widely used in industrial applications, such as nuclear reactor, boiler, electronics cooling system and batteries thermal management. During the boiling process, large amount of heat is removed from the wall due to the presence of intensive phase change. The heat transfer in the nucleate boiling process is strongly dependent on the bubble dynamics, including bubble generation, growth, departure and detachment. In particular, the evaporation from microlayer shows the great potential to enhance the heat transfer performance. However, the experiment comparable simulation of the microlayer profile and the evaporation performance in the nucleate boiling are still not lacking, which significantly restrict our understanding on the nucleate boiling. Based on our previous results, a large part of the reason is that the surface molecular effects are long-standing ignored.
