Exploration of nanofluid pool boiling and deposition on a horizontal cylinder in Eulerian and Lagrangian frames
TL;DR: In this paper, a simulation of pool boiling nanofluid flow is numerically solved around a two-dimensional horizontal cylinder with 20mm diameter and compared with experimental data, and the good agreement is found that the percentage of deposition is dependent on heat flux and particle concentration.
