This study investigates the pool boiling heat transfer of water over cylindrical heating tubes for different orientations and surface roughness of the tubes. First, two orientations of a smooth heating tube, horizontal and vertical, were used in the boiling chamber. For a given heat flux, the heat transfer coefficient achieved with the horizontal tube was always higher than that for the vertical tube. To investigate the influence of surface roughness, a rough heating tube with a fully rough outer surface was developed through a metal etching process. Under the same range of wall superheat, the rough tube enhanced the heat transfer rate significantly compared to the smooth tube. Finally, a modified heating tube (MHT) was developed by axially roughening half of the surface of an originally smooth tube. The orientation angle of the rough surface of this MHT was varied from 0° (horizontal-upward) to 180° (horizontal-downward) in the chamber. The heat flux increased significantly with the increase of orientation angles from 0° to 90° (the maximum of 80 kW/m2 at 90°), whereas the same decreased as the orientation angle is further increased from 90° to 180°. Results revealed that the bubble dynamics over the heating tubes play a vital role in pool boiling performance.

In an earlier study by the authors, the applicability of the EHD technique for augmentation of pool boiling heat transfer of R-134a in a tube bundle was demonstrated. This paper reports additional experiments involving optimization of the electrode/heat transfer surface geometry as well as flow visualization studies that provide improved understanding of the EHD-enhanced pool boiling heat transfer in a tube bundle. Utilizing the flow visualization studies, it is demonstrated that combined electroconvection and improved nucleate boiling dynamics give rise to the augmented heat transfer coefficients.

Effects of the width and location of a flow disturbing circular plate, installed at a vertical tube surface, on nucleate pool boiling heat transfer of water at atmospheric pressure have been investigated experimentally. Through the tests, changes in the degree of intensity of liquid agitation have been analyzed. The plate changes the fluid flow around the tube as well as heat transfer coefficients on the tube surface. It is identified that the plate width changes the rate of the circulating flow whereas its location changes the growth of the active agitating flow. Moreover, the flow chugging was observed at the downside of the plate.
