We experimentally investigated the effects of contact angle difference of heterogeneous wettability surfaces on pool boiling. For surfaces exhibiting heterogeneous wettability, this study determined that the pool boiling curve experiences a superheat decrease in some regions before the system achieves the critical heat flux. In addition, oscillation of the vapor column and bubble transverse motions on the heterogeneous wettability coated surface were observed
