ABSTRACT = {Experiments were performed to study the effects of surface wettability on flow boiling of water at atmospheric pressure. The test channel is a single 
rectangular channel 0.5 mm high, 5 mm wide and 180 mm long. The mass flux was set at 100 and 120 kg/m<sup>2</sup> s and the base heat flux was varied from 
30 to 80 kW/m<sup>2</sup>. Water enters the test channel under subcooled conditions. The sample surfaces are titanium (Ti) and diamond-like carbon (DLC) 
surfaces having a contact angle of 49° and 63°, respectively. The experimental results show different flow patterns that impact the heat transfer 
significantly. Compared to the Ti surface, the DLC surface shows a deterioration of 10% in heat transfer.},
