Heat transfer characteristics based on microlayer structure in nucleate pool boiling for water and ethanol

A theoretical model for nucleate boiling of nanofluids considering the nanoparticle Brownian motion in liquid microlayer

“…(13). The experimental observations [28][29][30][31][32] proved that the liquid microlayer presents strong transient characteristics as the bubble grows. A typical evolving process of the microlayer along with the increasing bubble size is shown in Fig.…”

“…In fact, although it has been widely accepted that the growth of bubble on an active site is attributed to the evaporation of liquid microlayer, quantitative measurements and characterizations of liquid microlayer are still very rare. In recent years, a couple of experimental measurements were conducted by Gao et al [28], Jung and Kim [29] and Utaka et al [30][31][32] using various cutting-edge technologies, with the aim to characterize the dynamic process of liquid microlayer evaporation. These experimental measurements, although have not contributed to a theoretical model for the liquid microlayer, have provided important experimental data to estimate A lm and d lm in Eq.…”

The hydrodynamics of microlayer formation beneath vapour bubbles

“…Overview of the main experimental data (Duan et al, 2013, Gerardi, 2009, Jung and Kim, 2014, Moore and Mesler, 1961, Sakashita, 2011, Utaka et al, 2014, Yabuki et al, 2013 available for nucleate boiling of saturated water.…”

Research progresses and future directions on pool boiling heat transfer

“…The effect of microlayer evaporation on heat transfer characteristics for water and ethanol by measuring microlayer thickness formed under a growing bubble was presented [74]. The pool boiling heat transfer characteristics of water on a stainless steel heater was experimentally analyzed [75].…”
