Pool boiling heat transfer has been extensively studied over decades, but the effect of boundary heating conditions on boiling received little attention. In this work, heat transfer coefficients during pool boiling of five different refrigerants (R123, R245fa, R236fa, R134a, and R22) on the outside surface of a smooth copper tube were measured at the saturation temperature of 6.7 C; water flows...

As the oven temperature is raised at a reproducible rate, analytes are eluted and the areas under the chromatogram are recorded. Boiling points are assigned to the time axis from a calibration curve, known as the boiling-point distribution curve, based on a known mixture of normal paraffin hydrocarbons over a fixed range. These paraffin hydrocarbons serve as markers, which identify the time tha...

The differences between the boiling points of dilute aqueous solutions of heavy water and the boiling point of ordinary water were measured in the range from 0.3 to 7 percent of D 20. The boiling points were found to increase linearly with increase in D 20, according to the equation mole % of D20 = 70.9 (tJ.T), where tJ.T is the boiling point in degrees centigrade minus 100. The measmements, ma...

Subcooled flow boiling in multi-microchannels can be used as an efficient thermal management approach in compact electrical devices. Highly subcooled flow boiling of HFE 7100 is studied in two microchannel heat sinks to choose a proper numerical model for simulating boiling flows in microchannels. Results of five different numerical models, including Volume of Fluid (VOF), Eulerian boiling, Eul...

Surface wettability is recognized as playing an important role in pool boiling and the corresponding heat transfer curve. In this work, a systematic study of pool boiling heat transfer on smooth surfaces of varying wettability (contact angle range of 5° - 180°) has been conducted and reported. Based on numerical simulations, boiling curves are calculated and boiling dynamics in each regime are ...

The influence of the initial fuel temperature on the burning behavior of n-heptane pool fire was experimentally studied at the State Key Laboratory of Fire Science (SKLFS) large test hall. Circular pool fires with diameters of 100mm, 141 mm, and 200 mm were considered with initial fuel temperatures ranging from 290 K to 363 K. Burning rate and temperature distributions in fuel and vessel wall w...

There has been increasing interest of late in nanofluid boiling and its use in heat transfer enhancement. This article covers recent advances in the last decade by researchers in both pool boiling and convective boiling applications, with nanofluids as the working fluid. The available data in the literature is reviewed in terms of enhancements, and degradations in the nucleate boiling heat tran...

We report a novel boiling heat transfer (NBHT) in reduced graphene oxide (RGO) suspended in water (RGO colloid) near critical heat flux (CHF), which is traditionally the dangerous limitation of nucleate boiling heat transfer because of heater failure. When the heat flux reaches the maximum value (CHF) in RGO colloid pool boiling, the wall temperature increases gradually and slowly with an almos...

abstract: in this study an appropriate computational approach was presented for estimating the boiling temperatures of 41 different types of olefins and their derivatives. based on the guidelines of this approach, several structural indices related to the organic components were applied using graph theory. meanwhile, in addition to evaluating the relation between the boiling temperatures of ole...
