The simultaneous measurement between the boiling visualization and the boiling heat transfer characteristics by two adjacent impinging jets on hot steel plate was made by the experimental technique that has a function of high-temperature flat-plate heat flux gauge. The 22 K-type thermocouples were installed at 1 mm below the surface of flat-plate heat flux gauge. The 2-D inverse heat conduction was formulated to solve the surface temperature and heat flux. The boiling visualization was synchronized with a 4K video camera which was meaningful to understand complex boiling heat transfer phenomena. The heat flux gauge was uniformly heated up to 900°C by induction heating. The successive boiling images show where the nucleate boiling starts to occur on hot surface and the film boiling turns to be collapsed. The measured surface temperature and heat flux distribution agrees well with the corresponding boiling visualization: While heat transfer at the stagnation point shows a maximum heat flux, the interaction between two adjacent impinging jets exhibits a relative high heat flux and a steep temperature gradient until the end of boiling heat transfer at which single-phase convection occurs near 200°C.

The effect of staggered-array water impinging jets on boiling heat transfer was investigated by a simultaneous measurement between boiling visualization and heat transfer characteristics. The boiling phenomena of staggered-array impinging jets on hot steel plate were visualized by 4K UHD video camera. The surface temperature and heat flux on hot steel plate was determined by solving 2-D inverse heat conduction problem, which was measured by the flat-plate heat flux gauge. The experiment was made at jet Reynolds number of Re = 5,000 and the jet-to-jet distance of staggered-array jets of S/Dn = 10. Complex flow interaction of staggered-array impinging jets exhibited hexagonal flow pattern like as honey-comb. The calculated surface heat transfer profiles show a good agreement with the corresponding boiling visualization. The peak of heat flux accords with the location which nucleate boiling is occurred at. In early stage, the positions of maximum heat flux locate at the stagnation point of each jet as the relatively low surface temperature is shown at their positions. At the elapsed time of 10 s, the flat shape of heat flux profile is formed in the hexagonal area where the interacting flow uniformly cools down the wetted surface. After that, the wetted area continuously enlarges with time and the maximum heat flux is observed at its peripheral. These results point out that the flow interaction of staggered-array jets effectively cools down the closer area around jets and also show an expansion of nucleate boiling and suppression of film boiling during water jet cooling on hot steel plate.

The present study is an experimental investigation of the nucleate pool boiling heat transfer enhancement mechanism of microporous surfaces immersed in saturated FC-72. Measurements of bubble size, frequency, and vapor flow rate from a plain and microporous coated 390 μm diameter platinum wire using the consecutive-photo method were taken to determine the effects of the coating on the convective and latent heat transfer mechanisms. Results of the study showed that the microporous coating augments nucleate boiling performance through increased latent heat transfer in the low heat flux region and through increased convection heat transfer in the high heat flux region. The critical heat flux for the microporous coated surface is significantly enhanced over the plain surface due to decreased latent heat transfer (decreased vapor generation rate) and/or increased hydrodynamic stability from increased vapor inertia; both of which are a direct result of increased nucleation site density.

High heat flux is very dangerous for electronic heat transfer, such as IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) cooling. In order to explore and master the heat transfer and hydraulic characteristics for IGBT cooling, experiments have been carried out to study the situation mentioned above in a flat plate heat sink, which was designed for high heat flux IGBT cooling. The geometrical parameters of the test section are as follows: outline dimension 229 mm × 124 mm × 30 mm; flow channels of 229 mm × 3 mm × 4 mm in total of 20. The experiments performed at atmospheric pressure and with inlet temperatures of 25–35°C, heat fluxes of 3.5–18.9 kW/m2. The influence of temperatures, heat fluxes on IGBT surface temperature and the cooling effect of the liquid cold plate have been investigated under a range of flow rates of 280–2300 kg/m2s. It was found that the heat transfer enhancement was very obvious using this kind of small sized channel for IGBT cooling, which was tens of times of the effect than air cooling or triple of the effect than that in normal sized channels. And the heat transfer enhancement increases with increasing heat fluxes and flow rates, while it decreases with increasing inlet temperatures. Most of the experimental results show good cooling effect as expected. However, it is dangerous for the cooling system under high heat fluxes when the system starts or stops suddenly, when the Respond Time (RT) is less than 5 seconds to cut off heated power. Also, the cooling performance is bad when the heat fluxes increased greatly, which is considered as abnormal situation in operating. The effect on IGBT surface temperature of heat flux is more obvious when the average Nusselt Number is smaller. For hydraulic characteristics observed, it was found that the flow friction increased with flow rates increasing, but the pressure drops of heated flow channels ahead were slightly larger than those back, especially under large flow rates conditions. That is because the temperatures of flow heated in channels ahead are lower than those back, which causes the fluid viscosity to be higher. At last, this paper suggested a series of method for enhancing heat transfer in flat plate heat sink, and also gave some ways to avoid heat transfer dangerous situations for IGBT cooling, which can provide a basis for thermodynamic and hydraulic calculation of flat plate heat sink design and lectotype.

Flow boiling in microporous layers has attracted a great deal of attention in the enhanced heat transfer field due to its high heat dissipation potential. In this study, flow boiling experiments were performed on both porous microchannels and a copper-based microchannel, using water as the coolant. As the heat flux was less than 80 W/cm2, the porous microchannels presented significantly higher boiling heat transfer coefficients than the copper-based microchannel. This was closely associated with the promotion of the nucleation site density of the porous coating. With the further increase in heat flux, the heat transfer coefficients of the porous microchannels were close to those of the copper-based sample. The boiling process in the porous microchannel was found to be dominated by the nucleate boiling mechanism from low to moderate heat flux (<80 W/cm2).This switched to the convection boiling mode at high heat flux. The porous samples were able to mitigate flow instability greatly. A visual observation revealed that porous microchannels could suppress the flow fluctuation due to the establishment of a stable nucleate boiling process. Porous microchannels showed no advantage over the copper-based sample in the critical heat flux. The optimal thickness-to-particle-size ratio (δ/d) for the porous microchannel was confirmed to be between 2–5. In this range, the maximum enhanced effect on boiling heat transfer could be achieved.

Pool nucleate boiling heat transfer experiments were performed for water at 0.101 MPa to examine the elementary process of the nucleate boiling. Heat transfer surface was made from a copper printed circuit board. Direct current was supplied to heat it up. The Bakelite plate of the backside of a copper layer was taken off at the center portion of the heat transfer surface. The instantaneous variation of the backside temperature of the heat transfer surface was measured with an infrared radiation camera. Bubble behavior was recorded with a high speed video camera. In the isolated bubble region, surface temperature was uniform during waiting time. When boiling bubble generation started, a large dip in the surface temperature was formed under the bubble. After the bubble left from the heat transfer surface, the surface temperature returned to former uniform temperature distribution. Surface temperature was not affected by the bubble generation beyond 1.6 mm from the center of the bubble. In the isolated bubble region, a convection term was approximately 80 % in total heat transfer rate. The importance of the three-phase interface line in the heat transfer should be checked carefully. In the intermediate and high heat flux region, the variation of surface temperature and heat flux were small. Rather those were close to their average values even at critical heat flux condition. It seemed that the large part of the heat transfer surface was covered with water even at the critical heat flux condition. The heat flux at the area that appeared to be the three-phase contact line was not so high and close to the average heat flux.

Pool nucleate boiling heat transfer experiments of the 3.5 - 10wt% NaCl solution, the real seawater and the 3.5 - 10wt% artificial seawater solution as well as distilled water for the basis of comparison were performed to examine the effect of salts on boiling heat transfer. Seawater was injected into the reactor cores in the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station of Tokyo Electric Power Company. This study intended to provide base data to consider reactor core cooling by seawater. Boiling curves of the 3.5 - 10wt% NaCl solution, the real seawater and the 3.5 - 10wt% artificial seawater solutions as well as distilled water were well predicted with the Rohsenow pool nucleate boiling heat transfer correlation although the curves were a little shifted to the higher wall superheat region. The formation of secondary coalescent large bubble was suppressed in the experiments of the NaCl solutions, real seawater and the artificial seawater solutions, and small primary bubbles detached directly from the heat transfer surface. Sea salt deposition was observed only in the experiments of the 7.0wt% and 10wt% artificial seawater solutions. The deposited salt was calcium sulfate. Slow heat transfer surface temperature excursion occurred in the experiments of the 7.0wt% and 10wt% artificial seawater solutions after the heat flux was raised to 600 kW/m2 and 120 kW/m2, respectively. The critical heat flux of the 7.0wt% and 10wt% artificial seawater solutions were 600 kW/m2 and 120 kW/m2, respectively if the occurrence of the slow heat transfer surface temperature excursion was defined as the critical heat flux condition. The heat transfer surface temperature excursion might be caused by the growth of the deposited salt layer.

Liquid jet impingement is a very effective way of cooling of simple and complicated geometry objects. The attainable cooling rate is radically enhanced when using liquids as coolant due to the possibility of having boiling to occur during the impingement process. Bubble activity on the surface and the resulted mixing with the fluid bulk produces an additional factor of enhancement which at some levels of surface temperature dominates other convective mechanism due to the coolant flow perpendicular or parallel to the surface. The efficient nucleate boiling heat transfer regime can be divided into: partial nucleate boiling and fully developed nucleate boiling. The heat transfer capacity of each and the range of surface temperature over which each of these two boiling regimes up to the critical heat flux (CHF) are experimentally investigated in this research for different coolant temperature and velocity. For this purpose, single planar jet is used to provide the cooling medium of a flat surface that is being heated steadily. The boiling surface temperature was thus controlled by a feed back computer program to allow for steady state operation. So, at each level of boiling surface temperature observation of boiling mode and heat transfer mechanisms was elongated and verified. The experiments were conducted using degassed water jet velocity range between 0.75 and 1.7 m/s and degree of sub-cooling range from 10 to 28 °C at atmospheric pressure. The variation of the heat flux with those factors at different surface superheat up to the CHF point is presented. A physical interpretation is introduced to explain the effects of the input parameters on the heat transfer changes in these regimes.

Flow boiling in microchannels is characterized by the considerable influence of capillary forces and constraint effects on the flow pattern and heat transfer. In this paper we used the flow patterns of gas-liquid flow in rectangular microchannel to explain the regularities of refrigerants flow boiling heat transfer. The characteristics of the flow such as frequency of elongated bubbles, their length, velocity of liquid and gas phases were determined by dual laser flow scanning for the upward and horizontal nitrogen-water flow in microchannels with the size of 1500×720 μm. The flow pattern boundaries were determined also and compared with extended Mishima and Ishii correlation. Flow boiling heat transfer data were obtained for vertical and horizontal microchannel heat sink with similar channels using refrigerants R21 and R134a. The data on local heat transfer coefficients were obtained in the range of mass flow rate from 33 to 190 kg/m2s, reduced pressure from 0.03 to 0.25 and heat flux from 10 to 160 kW/m2. The flow boiling modes with nucleate and convective boiling were observed as far as heat transfer deterioration at high vapor quality and high heat flux. It was found that deterioration occurs for the annular flow when nucleate boiling was suppressed in a thin liquid film, and for elongated bubble flow pattern. The mechanism of heat transfer deterioration was discussed. The model of heat transfer deterioration was used to predict the experimental data.
