Abstract
A thermal energy exchange tube for a heat exchanger includes a tube inner surface and a tube outer surface radially offset from the tube inner surface. The tube outer surface includes patterned porosity with a plurality of high porosity regions of the tube outer surface having relatively high porosity to promote flow of fluid radially inwardly via capillary flow, and a plurality of low porosity regions of the tube outer surface having relatively low porosity to facilitate vapor departure from the tube outer surface.
