Pool Boiling Heat Transfer to Emulsions

The characteristics of steady pool boiling heat transfer from a horizontal wire to various emulsions were obtained experimentally. Sample emulsions were prepared by an ultrasonic method with water, oils whose boiling points are higher than that of water, and emulsifying agents. The kind of emulsifying agent affected remarkably the characteristics of heat transfer to oil-in-water emulsions. The kind of oil affected little the heat transfer to oil-in-water emulsions but strongly that to water-in-oil emulsions.
