This paper presents an experimental study of a buoyancy-induced flow of water with phase-change heat transfer in a vertical porous tube heated at a constant heat flux. Experiments were carried out from subcooled liquid flow to connective boiling by varying the imposed heat fluxes. At a prescribed heat flux the steady-state mass flux of water, as well as the temperatures along the tube wall and along the centerline of the packed tube, were measured. It is shown that for both single-phase flow and the two-phase flow with a rather low vapor fraction, the induced mass flux increased as the heat flux was increased. However, as the imposed heat flux was increased further, the induced mass flux dropped drastically, and remained relatively constant afterwards. The influences of various parameters such as the porous tube diameter, the particle sizes, and the hydrostatic head on the induced mass flux are also examined.

Experimental investigations of convective heat transfer in nanofluid based on the Cu (approx. 0.15% and 0.25% vol.) nanoparticles synthesized in polyol process were conducted at constant heat flux conditions. A 30% increase in average heat transfer coefficient was found against the results obtained for a pure host liquid (ethylene glycol). Even more significant increase was in the entrance region.
