The effect of pressure on heat transfer during pool boiling of water-Al2O3 and water-Cu nanofluids on stainless steel smooth tube

Abstract: Experimental investigation of heat transfer during pool boiling of two nanofluids, i.e. water-Al 2 O 3 and water-Cu has been carried out. Nanoparticles were tested at the concentration of 0.01%, 0.1%, and 1% by weight. The horizontal smooth stainless steel tubes having 10 mm OD and 0.6 mm wall thickness formed the test heater. The experiments have been performed to establish the influence of nanofluids concentration on heat transfer characteristics during boiling at different absolute operating pressure values… Show more

“…Decrease of absolute pressure from about 8 to 4 kPa inside a shell results in distinct heat transfer augmentation. Obtained results confirm tendency observed in the literature [17,37]. Figures 8 and 9 illustrate effect of Al 2 O 3 nanoparticle concentration on TPTHEx overall heat transfer coefficient (OHTC) for absolute pressure inside the shell of 10 kPa and 4 kPa, respectively.…”

“…The roughness of the surface boiled in nano-fluid is about twenty five times higher than those of the fresh surface before boiling in nano-fluid. When the size of the particles and the size of the surface roughness are comparable, the particles settle in the voids of the surface and block nucleation sites which lead to heat transfer deterioration Cieslinski and Kaczmarczyk [18]. It is found that the effect of increased surface roughness due to nano-particle layering can be twofold, significantly reducing boiling of the base fluid and slightly decreasing performance for the nano-fluid.…”

“…In contrast, the higher heat transfer coefficient was recorded for stainless steel tube compared to the copper tube for the same applied heat flux. In another work, Cieśliński and Kaczmarczyk [17] examined the influence of operating pressure 200, 100, and 10 kPa on two types of nanofluids during pool boiling process. Their results revealed that independent of nanoparticle materials (Al 2 O 3 and Cu) and their concentration, while an increase in operating pressure enhanced the heat transfer performance.…”
