Surface wettability change during pool boiling of nanofluids and its effect on critical heat flux

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the pool boiling characteristics of dilute dispersions of alumina, zirconia and silica nanoparticles in water and found that a significant enhancement in critical heat flux (CHF) can be achieved at modest nanoparticle concentrations (< 0.1% by volume).
Journal ArticleDOI

Nanowires for enhanced boiling heat transfer.

TL;DR: The high surface tension forces offered by liquids in nanowire arrays made of Si and Cu can be exploited to increase both the critical heat flux (CHF) and the heat transfer coefficient (HTC) by more than 100%.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structured surfaces for enhanced pool boiling heat transfer

TL;DR: In this paper, surface roughness-augmented wettability on critical heat flux (CHF) during pool boiling with horizontally oriented surfaces was investigated, and an analytical force-balance model was extended to explain the CHF enhancement.
Journal ArticleDOI

A study of nucleate boiling heat transfer on hydrophilic, hydrophobic and heterogeneous wetting surfaces

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focused on nucleate pool boiling under different wetting conditions, in the absence of micro-scale roughness, which is coupled with wetting phenomena.
Journal ArticleDOI

Critical heat flux maxima during boiling crisis on textured surfaces

TL;DR: A coupled thermal-hydraulic model is developed that relatesCHF enhancement to rewetting of a hot dry spot on the boiling surface, thereby revealing the mechanism governing the hitherto unknown CHF enhancement maxima.

Hydrodynamic Aspects of Boiling Heat Transfer

Novak Zuber
TL;DR: In this paper, the critical heat flux and the minimum heat flux are derived from these hydrodynamic limits, and results of investigations of nucleate boilin g are discussed and the theory of bubble growth is extended to include the effect of nonuniform temperature fields.
Journal ArticleDOI

A new hydrodynamic model of critical heat flux, applicable widely to both pool and forced convection boiling on submerged bodies in saturated liquids

TL;DR: In this article, the critical heat flux (CHF) was introduced for columnar vapor stems distributed in a liquid layer wetting a heated surface, and a new hydrodynamic model was developed for pool boiling and forced convection boiling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Boiling heat transfer

TL;DR: In this paper, a review examines recent advances made in predicting boiling heat fluxes, including some key results from the past, including nucleate boiling, maximum heat flux, transition boiling, and film boiling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of Surface Wettability on Active Nucleation Site Density During Pool Boiling of Water on a Vertical Surface

TL;DR: In this article, the cumulative number density of the cavities and their shapes were determined with an optical microscope and the surface had a mirror finish and had a surface Ra (centerline average) value of less than 0.02 μm.
Journal Article

On the stability of boiling heat transfer

TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived the maximum and minimum heat-transfer rates in the nucleate and the film-boiling regimes, respectively, using the classical results of Helmholtz Kelvan and Rayleigh expressions.
