Analysis of pool boiling heat transfer over porous surfaces

A semi-empirical model for pool boiling over porous surfaces is presented. The pressure drop across the porous surface is estimated using Darcy 's law. The signi®cance of the latent heat ̄ux contribution for highly porous surfaces is examined. Two nucleation factors are de®ned and correlated in terms of measurable quantities using literature data. An expression for the total heat ̄ux in terms o...

FLOW VISUALIZATION AND STUDY OF CRITICAL HEAT FLUX ENHANCEMENT IN POOL BOILING WITH Al2O3-WATER NANOFLUIDS

Pool boiling heat transfer characteristics of Al2O3 -water nanofluids is studied experimentally using a NiCr test wire of 36 standard wire guage diameter. The experimental work mainly concentrated on (1) change of critical heat flux with different volume concentrations of nanofluid and (2) flow visualization of pool boiling using a fixed concentration of nanofluid at different heat flux values....

Pool Boiling Performance Comparison of Smooth and Sintered Copper Surfaces with and without Carbon Nanotubes

Pool boiling heat transfer is measured with two individual working fluids on copper surfaces enhanced with sintered copper powder and carbon nanotubes. The working fluids are a segregated hydrofluoroether, HFE-7300, and deionized water. The surfaces considered in the experiments include smooth copper, copper with sintered copper particles, smooth copper with copper-coated carbon nanotubes (CNT)...
