The present research is an experimental study for the enhancement of boiling heat transfer using microporous coating techniques. The effects of different metal particle sizes in the coating compound for microporous coatings on pool boiling performance of refrigerants and water are investigated. All boiling tests were performed with 1×1cm2 test heaters in the horizontal, upward-facing orientation under increasing heat flux conditions at atmospheric pressure in saturated R-123, FC-72, and water. Results showed that the enhanced surface by microporous coating technique significantly augmented both nucleate boiling heat transfer coefficient and critical heat flux of FC-72 and R-123 over a plain surface. However, the enhancement of boiling performance for water was comparatively insignificant compared to the other liquids.

In this paper, a new porous coating was formed directly on the surface of titanium metal via anodic oxidation. And by the SEM, the morphology of the coating, which is composed of well-ordered perpendicular nanotubes, was characterized. Moreover, taking deionized water as the test fluid, a visualization study of the coating on its pool boiling heat transfer performance was made. The results demonstrated that compared with the smooth surface, the nucleate boiling heat transfer coefficient can increase 3 times while the nucleate boiling super heat was reduced 30%.

Nucleate Boiling Heat Transfer

Boiling heat transfer (BHT) and critical heat flux (CHF) performance were experimentally studied for saturated pool boiling of water-based nanofluids. In present experimental works, copper heaters of 20 mm diameter with titanium-oxide (TiO2) nanocoated surface were produced in pool boiling of nanofluid. Experiments were performed in both upward and downward facing nanofluid coated heater surface. TiO2 nanoparticle was used with concentration ranging from 0.004 until 0.4 kg/m3 and boiling time of tb = 1, 3, 10, 20, 40, and 60 mins. Distilled water was used to observed BHT and CHF performance of different nanofluids boiling time and concentration configurations. Nucleate boiling heat transfer observed to deteriorate in upward facing heater, however; in contrast effect of enhancement for downward. Maximum enhancements of CHF for upward- and downward-facing heater are 2.1 and 1.9 times, respectively. Reduction of mean contact angle demonstrate enhancement on the critical heat flux for both upward-facing and downward-facing heater configuration. However, nucleate boiling heat transfer shows inconsistency in similar concentration with sequence of boiling time. For both downward- and upward-facing nanocoated heater's BHT and CHF, the optimum configuration denotes by C = 400 kg/m3 with tb = 1 min which shows the best increment of boiling curve trend with lowest wall superheat ΔT = 25 K and critical heat flux enhancement of 2.02 times.

Nucleate Boiling Heat Transfer

Abstract The present research is an experimental study of “double enhancement” behavior in pool boiling from heater surfaces simulating microelectronic devices immersed in saturated FC-72 at atmospheric pressure. The term “double enhancement” refers to the combination of two different enhancement techniques: a large-scale area enhancement (square pin fin array) and a small-scale surface enhancement (microporous coating). Fin lengths were varied from 0 (flat surface) to 8 mm. Effects of this double enhancement technique on critical heat flux (CHF) and nucleate boiling heat transfer in the horizontal orientation (fins are vertical) are investigated. Results showed significant increases in nucleate boiling heat transfer coefficients with the application of the microporous coating to the heater surfaces. CHF was found to be relatively insensitive to surface microstructure for the finned surfaces except in the case of the surface with 8 mm long fins. The nucleate boiling and CHF behavior has been found to be the result of multiple, counteracting mechanisms: surface area enhancement, fin efficiency, surface microstructure (active nucleation site density), vapor bubble departure resistance, and re-wetting liquid flow resistance.

AbstractThe paper discusses nucleate boiling heat transfer on meshed surfaces during pool boiling of distilled water and ethyl alcohol of very high purity. It presents a correlation for heat flux developed for heaters covered with microstructural coatings made of meshes. The experimental results have been compared with the calculation results performed using the correlation and have been followed by discussion. Conclusions regarding the heat flux determination method have been drawn with the particular focus on the usefulness of the considered model for heat flux calculations on samples with sintered mesh layers.

Improved Performance

The present research is an experimental study for the enhancement of boiling heat transfer using microporous coatings. Two types of coatings are investigated: one that is bonded using epoxy and the other by soldering. Effects on pool boiling performance were investigated, of different metal particle sizes of the epoxy-based coating, on R-123 refrigerants, and on water. All boiling tests were performed with 1 cm × 1 cm test heaters in the horizontal, upward-facing orientation in saturated conditions at atmospheric pressure and under increasing heat flux. The surface enhanced by the epoxy-based microporous coatings significantly augmented both nucleate boiling heat transfer coefficients and critical heat flux (CHF) of R-123 relative to those of a plain surface. However, for water, with the same microporous coating, boiling performance did not improve as much, and thermal resistance of the epoxy component limited the maximum heat flux that could be applied. Therefore, for water, to seek improved performance, the solder-based microporous coating was applied. This thermally conductive microporous coating, TCMC, greatly enhanced the boiling performance of water relative to the plain surface, increasing the heat transfer coefficient up to ∼5.6 times, and doubling the CHF.

Saturation pool boiling experiments of FC-72 liquid on a flat, porous graphite and smooth copper surfaces measuring 10 × 10 mm investigated the effect of surface orientation on nucleate boiling and Critical Heat Flux (CHF). The inclination angle of the surface increased from 0° (upward-facing) to 60°, 90°, 120°, 150°, and 180° (downward facing). Results demonstrated significant increases in the nucleate boiling heat transfer coefficient and CHF on porous graphite, compared to those on copper. At low surface superheats, increasing the inclination angle increases the nucleate boiling heat transfer coefficient, which decreases with increased inclination angle at high surface superheats. These results and the measured decreases of CHF with increased inclination angle are consistent with those reported earlier by other investigators for dielectric and non-dielectric liquids. On smooth surfaces and micro-porous coatings, the reported fractional decreases in CHF with increased inclination angle are almost identical, but markedly larger than those measured in this work on porous graphite. On these surfaces the reported CHF in the downward-facing position (180° inclination) is ∼10–20% of that in the upward-facing position (0° inclination), compared to ∼53.3% on porous graphite. The CHF values of FC-72 liquid on porous graphite, which also decreased with increased inclination angle, are correlated using the general form suggested by Kutatelatze (1961) to within ± 5% of the experimental data.

Nucleate Boiling Heat Transfer

Results of lattice Boltzmann (LB) simulations of macroscale effects (heating modes, heater size, and saturation temperature) as well as microscale effects (wettability and roughness) on saturated pool boiling from superheated horizontal surfaces are summarized in this paper. These effects on pool boiling curves from natural convection through nucleate boiling to critical heat flux (CHF) and from transition boiling to film boiling are illustrated. It is found that macroscale effects have negligible influence on nucleate boiling heat transfer, and Rohsenow's correlation equation fits well with the simulated nucleate boiling heat transfer on smooth hydrophilic and hydrophobic horizontal surfaces. Both macroscale and microscale effects have important influence on critical heat flux and transition boiling heat transfer.

Enhanced Surface

A benign method of generating a surface microstructure that provides pool boiling heat transfer enhancement is introduced. Pool boiling heat transfer results from an enhanced, horizontally oriented, rectangular surface immersed in saturated FC-72, indicate up to an 85 percent decrease in incipient superheat, a 70 to 80 percent reduction in nucleate boiling superheats, and a ∼ 109 percent increase in the critical heat flux (CHF = 30 W/cm2), beyond that of the nonpainted reference surface. For higher heat flux conditions (19 to 30 W/cm2), localized dryout results in increased wall superheats (8 to 48°C). The enhanced surface heat transfer coefficients are four times higher than those from the reference surface and similar to those from the Union Carbide High Flux surface. Photographs that identify differences in bubble size and departure characteristics between the painted and reference surfaces are presented.
