Abstract Visual analysis allows an estimate of different local boiling characteristics including bubble growth rate, departure diameters and frequencies of nucleation, nucleation site density and evolution of bubbles and dry spots in time. At the same time, visual determination of the presented characteristics in case of big amounts of data requires the development of the appropriate software which will allow not only determination of bubble location, but also an estimate of their sizes based on high-speed video. The presented problem can be solved by using the instance segmentation approach based on a convolutional neural network. In the presented work Mask R-CNN network architecture was used for estimation of the local boiling characteristics.

Quenching experiments were performed with hot stainless steel spheres in a pool of water-based nanofluids in the presence of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) of various sizes. In order to explore the size effect, a test matrix was developed by choosing multi-walled CNTs with lengths from 1 μm to 5 μm and outer diameters from 30 nm to 60 nm. The concentration was fixed at 0.5% by mass for all types of CNTs. The initial temperature was 400 °C and the transient temperature variations at the center of the sphere were recorded as quenching curves. By establishing a lumped capacitance model, the transient surface heat flux variations were obtained as boiling curves. The original and boiled surfaces were both subjected to a series of characterizations to determine the changes in morphology, roughness, and wettability to identify the effects of CNT size on the surface properties of the formed deposition layers as well as to elucidate the mechanisms for regulation of the boiling and quenching behaviors. The results suggested that the critical heat flux (CHF) and the Leidenfrost point (LFP) are enhanced to various degrees due to the discrepancy in the size of the CNTs in nanofluids. It was shown that the CNTs deposited on the surfaces create various morphologies depending on their size. The CNTs with a length of 5 μm and a diameter of 60 nm exhibited the most significant effect on the boiling behaviors. In comparison to CNTs with a shorter length of 1 μm, the 5 μm long CNTs were much easier to form porous layers. The results of the contact angle and roughness tests showed that the porous layers tend to affect the surface roughness instead of surface wettability. The increases of the nucleation site density and surface roughness due to the presence of porous layers were identified as the primary cause for the modified boiling behaviors during quenching.

The present research is an experimental investigation of nucleate pool boiling heat transfer enhancement on a surface with micro/nano-scaled surface structures. Glancing Angle Deposition (GLAD) was employed to fabricate porous surfaces in this study. The thin film microstructure consists of closely packed columns oriented in the plane of incidence formed due to a self-shadowing mechanism. Boiling heat transfer from the nano-structured surface was compared to that of a smooth reference surface and the commercial High Flux surface. The results of this study have shown that nano-structured films created by the GLAD process increase the nucleation site density as compared to the smooth surface. This research has opened up new areas in the field of heat transfer, which motivate new surface coating concepts to enhance the understanding of boiling heat transfer on nano-structured films.

Nucleation Site Density

It has been well established that the rate of heat transfer associated with boiling systems is strongly dependent on the nucleation site density. Over many years attempts have been made to predict nucleation site density in boiling systems using a variety of techniques. With the exception of specially prepared surfaces, these attempts have met with little success. This paper presents an experimental investigation of nucleation site density measured on roughly polished brass and stainless steel surfaces for gas nucleation and pool boiling over a large parameter space. The fluids used for this study, distilled water and ethanol, are moderately wetting and highly wetting, respectively. Using distilled water it has been observed that the trends of nucleation site density versus the inverse of the critical radius are similar for pool boiling and gas nucleation. The nucleation site density is higher for gas nucleation than for pool boiling. An unexpected result has been observed with ethanol as the heat transfer fluid, which casts doubt on the general validity of heterogeneous nucleation theory. Due to flooding, few sites are active on the brass surface and at most two are active on the stainless steel surface during gas nucleation experiments. However, nucleation sites readily form in large concentration on both the brass and stainless steel surfaces during pool boiling. The nucleation site densities for the rough and mirror polished brass surfaces are also compared. It shows that there is no large difference for the measured nucleation site density.

SiC growth on as-received and striated Si(001) substrates was studied. SiC films were grown by pulsed-jet chemical vapor deposition using monomethylsilane as a gas source at 780°C. Two kinds of Si surfaces were prepared. One was an as-received Si(001) surface and the other was an striated (scratched) Si(001) surface. It was found that nucleation rate of SiC is quite different between these two kinds of surfaces. The film growth rate was very low for the as-received Si(001) surface compared with the striated surface, and after 8 hours of growth hardly any film was grown and only square-shaped islands were observed. On the other hand, for the undulant substrate about 100nm thick 3C-SiC film was grown after 8 hours of deposition. This film growth rate difference appears to be due to the difference in density of nucleation sites. For the as-received Si(001) surface, nucleation site density appears to be quite small due to the atomically flat surface. On the other hand, for the undulant surface, nucleation site density was large enough for the film to grow faster.

Pool boiling experiments of water and ethanol-water binary mixtures were conducted on smooth and laser textured stainless steel foils. High-speed IR thermography was used to measure transient temperature field during boiling in order to determine nucleation frequencies, nucleation site densities, bubble activation temperatures, wall-temperature distributions and average superheats as well as heat transfer coefficients. Saturated pool boiling experiments were conducted at atmospheric pressure over a heat flux range of 5–250 kW m−2 for pure water and ethanol-water mixtures (1% and 10% m/m). For both mixtures and both types of surfaces we measured significant decrease in average heat transfer coefficient and increase in bubble activation temperatures in comparison to pure water. However, laser textured surface in average provided around 60% higher nucleation frequency and more than 100% higher nucleation site density compared to smooth surface for both of the tested binary mixtures. Consequentially, heat transfer coefficient was enhanced for more than 30%. Our results show that laser textured surfaces can improve boiling performance for water and ethanol-water mixtures, but at the same time the addition of ethanol reduces heat transfer coefficient despite the enhancement of nucleation site density and nucleation frequency. This is also in agreement with available experimental data and existing theoretical models.

Nucleation Site Density

The high rates of heat transfer of dropwise condensation as well as its limits are explained on the basis of the behaviors of submicroscopic active drops. The expression for the substantial growth rate of a single drop valid down to the thermodynamic critical size is incorporated into a set of basic equations from [8] whose capability to describe the process of coalescence and growth of drops in dropwise condensation has been demonstrated in [9]. Consideration of the nondimensionalized forms of the basic equations with the aid of numerical analysis results in an expression of the Nusselt number for dropwise condensation in terms of a few characteristic parameters. Comparison of the predicted Nusselt numbers with available experimental data suggests that the condensation coefficient of water is around 0.2 provided the nucleation site density is infinitely high. Otherwise, if the condensation coefficient should be unity, we have to accept that the nucleation sites are fairly scattered.
