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

Pool nucleate boiling heat transfer experiments were performed for water at 0.101 MPa to examine the elementary process of the nucleate boiling. Heat transfer surface was made from a copper printed circuit board. Direct current was supplied to heat it up. The Bakelite plate of the backside of a copper layer was taken off at the center portion of the heat transfer surface. The instantaneous variation of the backside temperature of the heat transfer surface was measured with an infrared radiation camera. Bubble behavior was recorded with a high speed video camera. In the isolated bubble region, surface temperature was uniform during waiting time. When boiling bubble generation started, a large dip in the surface temperature was formed under the bubble. After the bubble left from the heat transfer surface, the surface temperature returned to former uniform temperature distribution. Surface temperature was not affected by the bubble generation beyond 1.6 mm from the center of the bubble. In the isolated bubble region, a convection term was approximately 80 % in total heat transfer rate. The importance of the three-phase interface line in the heat transfer should be checked carefully. In the intermediate and high heat flux region, the variation of surface temperature and heat flux were small. Rather those were close to their average values even at critical heat flux condition. It seemed that the large part of the heat transfer surface was covered with water even at the critical heat flux condition. The heat flux at the area that appeared to be the three-phase contact line was not so high and close to the average heat flux.

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.

Accident Conditions

Four types of steady-state boiling experiments were conducted to investigate the efficacy of two distinctly different heat transfer enhancement methods for external reactor vessel cooling under severe accident conditions. One method involved the use of a thin vessel coating and the other involved the use of an enhanced insulation structure. By comparing the results obtained in the four types of experiments, the separate and integral effect of vessel coating and insulation structure were determined. Correlation equations were obtained for the nucleate boiling heat transfer and the critical heat flux. It was found that both enhancement methods were quite effective. Depending on the angular location, the local critical heat flux could be enhanced by 1.4 to 2.5 times using vessel coating alone whereas it could be enhanced by 1.8 to 3.0 times using an enhanced insulation structure alone. When both vessel coating and insulation structure were used simultaneously, the integral effect on the enhancement was found much less than the product of the two separate effects, indicating possible competing mechanisms (i.e., interference) between the two enhancement methods.

Nucleate Boiling Heat Transfer

Colloidal dispersions of nanoparticles, also known as nanofluids, have shown to result in significant Critical Heat Flux (CHF) enhancement. The CHF enhancement mechanism in nanofluids is due to the buildup of a layer of nanoparticles which occurs upon boiling. Some studies have shown that this layer may also lead to increase in nucleate boiling heat transfer. Therefore, this paper discusses how key surface parameters such as surface wettability and surface roughness can be manipulated and optimized by coating nanoparticles in colloidal dispersions onto the desired surface, to enhance the nucleate boiling heat transfer and CHF.

Flow Boiling Heat Transfer

Abstract The effect of solid particle introduction on subcooled-forced flow boiling heat transfer and a critical heat flux was examined experimentally. In the experiment, glass beads of 0.6 mm diameter were mixed in subcooled water. Experiments were conducted in a range of the subcooling of 40 K, a velocity of 0.17–6.7 m/s, a volumetric particle ratio of 0–17%. When particles were introduced, the growth of a superheated liquid layer near a heat trasnsfer surface seemed to be suppressed and the onset of nucleate boiling was delayed. The particles promoted the condensation of bubbles on the heat transfer surface, which shifted the initiation of a net vapor generation to a high heat flux region. Boiling heat trasnfer was augmented by the particle introduction. The suppression of the growth of the superheated liquid layer and the promotion of bubble condensation and dissipation by the particles seemed to contribute that heat transfer augmentation. The wall superheat at the critical heat flux was elevated by the particle introduction and the critical heat flux itself was also enhanced. However, the degree of the critical heat flux improvement was not drastic.
