In the present work, the characteristic atmospheric saturated heat flux controlled pool boiling curves for zirconia–water and silver–water nanofluids have been reproduced by the coupled map lattice (CML) method using a two-dimensional (2D) boiling field model. The heater is a long horizontal flat plate of thickness 0.44 mm. The pool height is 0.7 mm. The stirring action of the bubbles is modeled by increasing the fluid thermal diffusivity by an enhancement factor. The thermal conduction in the plate is also incorporated into the model. The basic advantage of CML is that individual bubbles are not tracked, and yet the effects of bubbles are reflected qualitatively in the final solution. In the simulation of atmospheric saturated pool boiling of water minimum cavity diameter taken is 0.8 μm based on which a random distribution of cavity sizes has been specified. In the boiling of ZrO2–water nanofluid there is a deposition of nanoparticles in the cavities on the heated surface resulting in reduction of surface roughness. This feature is taken care of by proportionate decrease in minimum cavity diameter. The CML model predicts decrease in heat transfer coefficient and increase in critical heat flux (CHF) with increase in zirconia nanoparticle concentration. In the case of Ag–water nanofluid no such deposition of nanoparticles has been reported; rather surface oxidation occurs which increases the surface roughness. This is simulated by proportionately increasing the minimum cavity diameter with weight fractions of nanoparticles. The present CML model predicts increase in the heat transfer coefficient and decrease in CHF with increase in silver nanoparticle concentration. Thus, the CML results for the boiling of the aforesaid two nanofluids match qualitatively with the published experimental works.

Abstract In this study, the pool boiling performance of oxide nanofluid was investigated, the heating surface is a 5 × 30 mm stainless steel heating surface. Three kinds of nanofluids were selected to explore their critical heat flux (CHF) and heat transfer coefficient (HTC), which were TiO2, SiO2, Al2O3. We observed that these nanofluids enhanced CHF compared to R·O water, and Al2O3 case has the most significant enhancement (up to 66.7%), furthermore, the HTC was also enhanced. The number of bubbles in nanofluid case was relatively less than that in R·O water case, but the bubbles were much larger. The heating surface was characterized and it was found that there were nano-particles deposited, and surface roughness decreased. The wettability also decreased with the increase in CHF.

The Heat Transfer Coefficient

The study focuses on the aggregation kinematics in the quadratic convective magneto-hydrodynamics of ethylene glycol-titania ([Formula: see text]) nanofluid flowing through an inclined flat plate. The modified Krieger-Dougherty and Maxwell-Bruggeman models are used for the effective viscosity and thermal conductivity to account for the aggregation aspect. The effects of an exponential space-dependent heat source and thermal radiation are incorporated. The impact of pertinent parameters on the heat transfer coefficient is explored by using the Response Surface Methodology and Sensitivity Analysis. The effects of several parameters on the skin friction and heat transfer coefficient at the plate are displayed via surface graphs. The velocity and thermal profiles are compared for two physical scenarios: flow over a vertical plate and flow over an inclined plate. The nonlinear problem is solved using the Runge–Kutta-based shooting technique. It was found that the velocity profile significantly decreased as the inclination of the plate increased on the other hand the temperature profile improved. The heat transfer coefficient decreased due to the increase in the Hartmann number. The exponential heat source has a decreasing effect on the heat flux and the angle of inclination is more sensitive to the heat transfer coefficient than other variables. Further, when radiation is incremented, the sensitivity of the heat flux toward the inclination angle augments at the rate 0.5094% and the sensitivity toward the exponential heat source augments at the rate 0.0925%. In addition, 41.1388% decrement in wall shear stress is observed when the plate inclination is incremented from [Formula: see text] to [Formula: see text].

Abstract This study presents numerical investigation results of heat flux effect on pool boiling heat transfer enhancement during nucleate boiling heat transfer of water. The simulation was performed for five different heated surfaces such as: brass, copper, mild steel, stainless steel and aluminum using ANSYS simulation software at 1 atmospheric pressure. The samples were heated in a domain developed for bubble growth during nucleate boiling process under the same operational condition of applied heat flux ranged from 100 to 1000 kW/m2 and their corresponding heat transfer coefficient was obtained numerically. Obtained experimental data of other authors from the open literature result is in close agreement with the simulated data, thus confirming the validity of the CFD simulation method used in this study. It is found that heat transfer coefficient increases with increasing heat flux. The results revealed that in comparison to other materials tested, better heat transfer performance up to 38.5% and 7.11% is observed for aluminum and brass at lower superheated temperature difference conditions of 6.96K and 14.01K respectively. This behavior indicates better bubble development and detachment capability of these heating surface materials and could be used in improving the performance of thermal devices toward producing compact and miniaturized equipment.

Immersion cooling strategies often employ surface enhancements to improve the pool boiling heat transfer performance. Sintered particle/powder coatings with different constituent particle sizes and total layer thicknesses have been commonly used on smooth surfaces to reduce the wall superheat and increase the critical heat flux during pool boiling. However, the role of the particle morphology on pool boiling has not been explicitly investigated. Since the morphology of the particles affects the pore shape, permeability, surface roughness, effective conductivity and diffusivity of the sintered coating, it will impact the heat transfer coefficient and critical heat flux during boiling. In this study, pool boiling of FC-72 is experimentally investigated using copper surfaces coated with a layer of sintered copper particles of irregular, dendritic and spherical morphologies. In order to isolate the effect of particle morphology, particles with the same effective diameter (90–106 μm) are sintered under controlled conditions that yield the same porosity (∼60%) and coating thickness (∼6 particle diameters) for all samples tested. The effects of particle morphology on the incipient wall superheat, nucleate boiling heat transfer coefficient, and critical heat flux are analyzed. The morphology of the pore structure in the coating formed by sintering is observed with SEM images; bubble nucleation and departure characteristics affecting the heat transfer performance of the coatings are qualitatively assessed with the aid of high-speed flow visualizations to corroborate the trends observed in the boiling curves. The irregular particles are observed to show the highest heat transfer coefficient, followed by dendritic and then spherical particles. The critical heat flux is found to be independent of the particle morphology.

Boiling Heat Transfer Coefficient

Pool boiling heat transfer coefficient of monoethylene glycol (MEG), diethylene glycol (DEG) and water ternary mixtures has been experimentally measured up to heat flux 114 kW/m2 at various volumetric concentrations of MEG and DEG. As expected, heat transfer coefficient was strongly taken as a direct function of heat flux. Existing well-known correlations are shown to be unable to predict the acceptable values for the tested ternary mixtures, particularly at different concentrations of MEG and DEG. Furthermore, a new modified correlation is developed on the basis of the Stephan - Preu?er correlation that predicts the values of heat transfer coefficients with absolute average error of about 7% that is reasonable and acceptable values in compare to other existing correlations.

The Heat Transfer Coefficient

Boiling, as the most efficient type of convective heat transfer, is an area of interest in many fields of industry and science. Many works have focused on improving the heat transfer efficiency of boiling by altering the physical and chemical properties of surfaces by using different technological processes in their fabrication. This paper presents experimental investigations into pool boiling on enhanced surfaces with open microchannels. The material of the fabricated surface was copper. Parallel microchannels made by machining were about 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4 mm wide, 0.2 to 0.5 mm deep, and spaced with a pitch equal to twice the width of the microchannel. The experiments were carried out in water at atmospheric pressure. The experimental results obtained showed an increase in the heat flux and the heat transfer coefficient for surfaces with microchannels. The maximum (critical) heat flux was 2188 kW/m2, and the heat transfer coefficient was 392 kW/m2K. An improvement in the maximum heat flux of more than 245% and 2.5–4.9 times higher heat transfer coefficient was obtained for the heat flux range of 992–2188 kW/m2 compared to the smooth surface. Bubble formation and growth cycle in the microchannel were presented. Two static computational models were proposed to determine the bubble departure diameter.

The paper presents the results of experimental research on pool boiling heat transfer of dielectric liquid FC-72. Measurements were made at atmospheric pressure on open surfaces with microchannels. Heat transfer surfaces, in the form of parallel milled microchannels, were made of copper. The rectangular cross-sectional microchannels were 0.2 to 0.5 mm deep and 0.2 to 0.4 mm wide. The surfaces, compared to a smooth flat surface, provided a five-fold increase in the heat transfer coefficient and a two-fold increase in the critical heat flux. The article analyses the influence of the width and height of the microchannel on the heat transfer process. The maximum heat flux was 271.7 kW/m2, and the highest heat transfer coefficient obtained was 25 kW/m2K. Furthermore, the experimental results were compared with selected correlations for the nucleate pool boiling.

This paper deals with the relevant model that can be proposed for modeling the interfacial heat transfer between a fluid and a wall in the case of space and time varying thermal boundary conditions. Usually, for a constant and uniform heat transfer (unidirectional steady-state regime), the problem can be solved introducing a heat transfer coefficient h, uniform in space and constant in time that linearly links the surface heat flux and the temperature difference between the wall temperature Tw and an equivalent fluid temperature Tf. The problem we consider in this work concerns the heat transfer between a steady-state fluid flow and a wall submitted to a transient and non uniform thermal solicitations, as for instance a steady-state flow on a flat plate submitted to a transient and space reduced heat flux. We will show that the more interesting representation for describing the interfacial heat transfer is not to define as usually done a non-uniform and variable heat transfer coefficient h(x,t) because as it depends on the thermal boundary conditions, it is not really intrinsic. We propose an alternative approach, which consists in introducing a generalized impedance Z(ω,p) that links in space and time domain the heat flux and the temperature difference through a double convolution product instead of a scalar product. After the presentation of the general problem, the simple case of a stationary piston flow that can be solved analytically will be considered for validation both in thermal steady-state and transient regimes. To conclude and show the interest of our approach, a comparison between a global approach and a numerical simulation in a more complex and realistic case taking into account the thermal coupling with a flat plate will be presented.
