In this paper, a comparative study is performed to evaluate the enhancement of spray cooling heat transfer using deionized water with a conventional surfactant (Tween 20) and two biosurfactants (Rhamnolipid and Sophorolipid). In the single-phase regime, appreciable enhancement on spray cooling heat...
