Experimental work was undertaken to investigate the process by which pool-boiling critical heat flux (CHF) occurs using an IR camera to measure the local temperature and heat transfer coefficients on a heated silicon surface. The wetted area fraction (WF), the contact line length density (CLD), the frequency between dryout events, the lifetime of the dry patches, the speed of the advancing and receding contact lines, the dry patch size distribution on the surface, and the heat transfer from the liquid-covered areas were measured throughout the boiling curve. Quantitative analysis of this data at high heat flux and transition through CHF revealed that the boiling curve can simply be obtained by weighting the heat flux from the liquid-covered areas by WF. CHF mechanisms proposed in the literature were evaluated against the observations.

Thermal management plays an important role in both high power electronics and energy conversion systems. A key issue in thermal management is the dissipation of the high heat flux generated by functional components. In this paper, various microstructures, nanostructures and hybrid micro/nano-structures were successfully fabricated on copper (Cu) surfaces, and the corresponding pool boiling heat transfer performance was systematically studied. It is found that the critical heat flux (CHF) of hybrid structured surfaces is about 15% higher than that of the surfaces with nanowires only and micro-pillars only. More importantly, the superheat at CHF for the hybrid structured surface is much smaller than that of the micro-pillared surface (about 35%), and a maximum heat transfer coefficient (HTC) of about 90,000W/m2K is obtained. Compared with the known best pool boiling performance on biporous media, a much larger HTC and much lower superheat at a heat flux of 250W/cm2 have been obtained on the novel hybrid-structured surfaces.

A fractal model for nucleate pool boiling of nanofluids at high heat flux and critical heat flux (CHF) is developed based on the fractal distribution of nanoparticles and nucleation sites on boiling surfaces in this paper. The formula of calculating high heat flux and CHF for nanofluids in nucleate pool boiling is given by taking into account heat convection between nanoparticles and liquids due to the Brownian motion of nanoparticles in fluids. The proposed model is expressed as a function of temperature of nanofluids, the effective thermal conductivity of nanofluids, the average size of nanoparticles, the fractal dimension of nanoparticles and nucleation sites, the nanoparticles volume fraction of suspension, and physical properties of fluids. No additional/new empirical constant is introduced in this fractal model. An agreement between the proposed model predictions and experimental data is found. The validity of the fractal model for nucleate pool boiling of nanofluids at high heat flux and CHF is thus verified.
