<b>Abstract.</b> The purpose of this paper is to present a review of some recent results for enhanced pool boiling applications using passive techniques of enhanced surfaces. The work begins with a review of the main results for confined boiling, particularly the principal dimensionless parameters and the different mechanisms involved in the nucleate regime and their effect on the heat transfer coefficient and the limit of heat flux or dryout phenomenon. We then consider some results for finned and microfinned surfaces in confined and non-confined conditions. Finally, we review some special kinds of structured surfaces for which the enhancement effect is produced by the combination of microfins and foils with pores placed over them or directly over smooth tubes.
<b>Keywords.</b> Enhanced boiling, Nucleate boiling, Grooved surface, Confined boiling, Structured surface.
