In this study, variations of local heat transfer coefficient are obtained in subcooled flow boiling conditions for water/TiO2 nanofluid in a vertical and horizontal tube. The results for the base fluid are compared with the predictions of the well known Shah correlation and Gnielinski formula for laminar and turbulent flows for single-phase forced convection and also with Chen correlation for subcooled flow boiling. A good agreement between the results is realized. At the subcooled regime, heat transfer coefficient of nanofluid is less than that of the base fluid and it decreases by increasing nanoparticle concentration for both of the channels; however, addition of the nanopraticles into the fluid causes that the vapor volume fraction increases.

Subcooled flow boiling heat transfer of water/TiO2 nanofluid in a horizontal tube is experimentally investigated. To validate the experimental apparatus as well as the experimental procedure, data for distilled water were compared with the available results on the literature in both single phase and subcooled flow boiling regime. Experimental investigations were carried out at three nanoparticles volumetric concentrations of 0.01%, 0.1%, and 5%. It was found that the nanofluid heat transfer coefficient in single-phase flow regime augments with the nanoparticle concentration. However, in the case of subcooled flow boiling regime the heat transfer coefficient decreases with the nanoparticle volume fractions.
