A new active heat transfer enhancement and control technique is proposed in this work. One of the major aims of the technique is to decrease pool boiling incipience temperature by dynamic morphing imposed to confinement wall. Dynamic deformation generates variation of pressure which increases the fluid metastability level. An experimental device was built to evaluate boiling incipience temperature. Experimental results were compared with hydrodynamic and nucleation models. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
