Effect of Surface Roughness on Pool Boiling Heat Transfer of Water on a Superhydrophilic Aluminum Surface

Abstract: The effect of surface roughness on the pool boiling heat transfer of water was investigated on superhydrophilic aluminum surfaces. The formation of nanoscale protrusions on the aluminum surface was confirmed after immersing it in boiling water, which modified surface wettability to form a superhydrophilic surface. The effect of surface roughness was examined at different average roughness (Ra) values ranging from 0.11 to 2.93 μm. The boiling heat transfer coefficients increased with an increase in roughness ow… Show more

“…The CHF value for either micro-patterned surface exhibits a 20% improvement over that of a plain copper surface. This increase is due to the reduced contact angle [11,36] which allows the surface to be easily and continuously wetted and delays dry-out of the surface.…”

“…Researchers have studied how CHF and HTC can be increased by fabricating porous coatings on a plain surface [1,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10], nano-structures on a plain surface [11,12], laser-processed structures [4,13], rough surfaces [14,15], enhanced designed surfaces [16], micro-patterned structures [6,15,17,18,19,20], or combined structures with micro-patterned structures and porous coating [6,21,22]. Their results indicate significant improvements in both the CHF and HTC.…”

“…At low levels of heat flux, pores of the largest size play significant roles in heat transfer. The influence of surface roughness on nucleate boiling heat transfer was investigated by [12][13][14][15][16]. The major conclusion from these studies indicates that increases in the surface roughness enhance the number of active nucleation sites, hence increase the heat transfer coefficient (HTC).…”

“…Aluminum possesses many attractive mechanical and physical properties, such as high strength-to-weight ratio, heat conductivity, electrical conductivity, and reflectivity; thus, aluminum alloys have been used for various industrial applications. Recently, wettability control on aluminum surfaces has been an important strategy for corrosion protection, heat exchange devices, and anti-icing surfaces [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13]. For example, a superhydrophilic aluminum surface with a water contact angle ( θ WCA ) measuring less than 10° exhibits rapid spreading of a water droplet, and such aluminum substrates have potential as high-efficiency plate-fin heat exchangers and antifouling materials [14,15].…”
