Popis: Taking advantage of electric fields and magnetic fields during boiling processes can be a very beneficial way for enhancement of boiling heat transfer and increase of the critical heat flux values. Applying magnetic fields and electric fields are promising active techniques which contribute to higher heat flux accompanied by small wall superheat temperature. This paper consist a complete review of published literature about effects of applying magnetic fields and electric fields on heat transfer and critical heat flux during pool boiling and flow boiling processes. The paper also includes the major affecting parameters and mechanisms reported in the literature about the boiling heat transfer and critical heat flux in the presence of magnetic fields and electric fields. The related achievements, results, inconsistencies and contradictions existing in the literature are identified and discussed in detail. Some recommendations and research directions for future studies are suggested.
