The subcooling effect on pool boiling heat transfer using a copper microporous coating was experimentally studied in water for subcoolings of 10 K, 20 K, and 30 K at atmospheric pressure and compared to that of a plain copper surface. A high-temperature thermally conductive microporous coating (HTCMC) was made by sintering copper powder with an average particle size of 67 μm onto a 1 cm × 1 cm plain copper surface with a coating thickness of ~300 μm. The HTCMC surface showed a two times higher critical heat flux (CHF), ~2,000 kW/m2, and up to seven times higher nucleate boiling heat transfer (NBHT) coefficient, ~350 kW/m2K, when compared with a plain copper surface at saturation. The results of the subcooling effect on pool boiling showed that the NBHT of both the HTCMC and the plain copper surface did not change much with subcooling. On the other hand, the CHF increased linearly with the degree of subcooling for both the HTCMC and the plain copper surface. The increase in the CHF was measured to be ~60 kW/m2for every degree of subcooling for both the HTCMC and the plain surface, so that the difference of the CHF between the HTCMC and the plain copper surface was maintained at ~1,000 kW/m2throughout the tested subcooling range. The CHFs for the HTCMC and the plain copper surface at 30 K subcooling were 3,820 kW/m2and 2,820 kW/m2, respectively. The experimental results were compared with existing CHF correlations and appeared to match well with Zuber’s formula for the plain surface. The combined effect of subcooling and orientation of the HTCMC on pool boiling heat transfer was studied as well.

Copper HTCMC (High-temperature, Thermally Conductive Microporous Coating) with a coating thickness of ~300 µm was created by sintering 67 µm copper particles onto a flat copper surface. This was shown to be the optimum particle size and thickness combination, in terms of boiling heat transfer enhancement with water, during a prior pool boiling study conducted by Jun et al. [1]. The effects of orientation of pool boiling heat transfer in saturated distilled water at 1 atm were tested experimentally and compared with a plain copper surface. An SEM image (top left) shows the porous structure of HTCMC demonstrating reentrant cavities which promote nucleate boiling and lead to significant critical heat flux (CHF) enhancement compared to the plain copper surface (top right). The nucleate boiling incipience heat flux of HTCMC was demonstrated to be 5 kW/m2, which was an 8x reduction when compared to a plain copper surface which was found to have an incipience heat flux of 40 kW/m2. At this same 40 kW/m2 heat flux, the activated nucleation site density of HTCMC was extremely high, and each bubble appeared much smaller compared to a plain surface. This can be seen in the first row of images, captured with a high speed camera at 2,000 fps. The bubble growth times and departing bubble sizes of 0° and 90° are comparable for both HTCMC and plain surfaces with the order of 10 milliseconds and 100 micrometers. However, when oriented at 180°, the bubble growth time was the order of 100 milliseconds for both HTCMC and plain surface, and the departing bubble size was the order of 10 millimeters. This is due to the growth of a large bubble which coalesced with adjacent bubbles to become a relatively huge bubble which was stretched by buoyance forces before the bubble departed.

Nucleate Boiling Heat Transfer

A novel, high-temperature, thermally-conductive, microporous coating (HTCMC) is developed by brazing copper particles onto a copper surface. This coating is more durable than many previous microporous coatings and also effectively creates reentrant cavities by optimizing brazing conditions. A parametric study of coating thicknesses of 49–283 μm with an average particle size of ∼25 μm was conducted using the HTCMC coating to understand nucleate boiling heat transfer (NBHT) enhancement on porous surfaces. It was found that there are three porous coating regimes according to their thicknesses. The first regime is “microporous” in which both NBHT and critical heat flux (CHF) enhancements gradually grow as the coating thickness increases. The second regime is “microporous-to-porous transition” where NBHT is further enhanced at lower heat fluxes but decreases at higher heat fluxes for increasing thickness. CHF in this regime continues to increase as the coating thickness increases. The last regime is named as “porous”, and both NBHT and CHF decrease as the coating thickness increases further than that of the other two regimes. The maximum nucleate boiling heat transfer coefficient observed was ∼350,000 W/m2K at 96 μm thickness (“microporous” regime) and the maximum CHF observed was ∼2.1 MW/m2 at ∼225 μm thickness (“porous” regime).

A novel, high-temperature, thermally conductive, microporous coating (HTCMC) is developed by brazing copper particles onto a copper surface. This coating is more durable than many previous microporous coatings and also effectively creates re-entrant cavities by varying brazing conditions. A parametric study of coating thicknesses of 49–283 μm with an average particle size of ∼25 μm was conducted using the HTCMC coating to understand nucleate boiling heat transfer (NBHT) enhancement on porous surfaces. It was found that there are three porous coating regimes according to their thicknesses.

The last regime is named “porous,” and both NBHT and CHF decrease as the coating thickness increases beyond that of the other two regimes. The maximum NBHT coefficient observed was ∼350,000 W/m2K at 96 μm thickness (microporous regime) and the maximum CHF observed was ∼2.1 MW/m2 at ∼225 μm thickness (porous regime).

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.

Boiling Heat Transfer Coefficient

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

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.
