Saturated Flow Boiling Heat Transfer in Horizontal Square Tube

Experimental Investigation on Heat Transfer of Silver-Oil Nanofluid in Concentric Annular Tube

In order to examine the laminar convective heat transfer of nanofluid, experiments carried out using silver-oil nanofluid in a concentric annulus with outer constant heat flux as boundary condition. Silver-oil nanofluid prepared by Electrical Explosion of Wire technique and observed no nanoparticles agglomeration during nanofluid preparation process and carried out experiments. The average size...

Heat Transfer Efficiency of Turbulent Film Boiling on a Horizontal Elliptical Tube with External Flowing Liquid

Film boiling on a horizontal elliptical tube immersed in external flowing nitrogen liquid is investigated in the present paper. The isothermal wall temperature is high enough to induce turbulent film boiling, and then a continuous vapor film runs upward over the surface. The high velocity of the flowing saturated liquid at the boundary layer is determined by potential flow theory. In addition, ...

Flow Boiling Heat Transfer of Binary Mixtures HFO1234yf/R32 in a Smooth Horizontal Tube

HFO1234yf is a promising alternative for automobile air conditioners because of its low GWP of 4 and thermophysical properties similar to those of R134a. However, its performance is inferior to R410A. This makes it difficult to be applied to residential air-conditioners. A mixture of HFO1234yf and R32 is expected to balance both the GWP and COP requirement when applied to residential air-condit...

Experimental Investigation in Pool Boiling Heat Transfer of Pure/Binary Mixtures and Heat Transfer Correlations

Nucleate pool boiling heat transfer coefficient have been experimentally measured on a horizontal rod heater for various liquid binary mixtures. Measurements are based on more than three hundred data points on a wide range of concentrations and heat fluxes. In this investigation, it has been confirmed that the heat transfer coefficient in boiling solutions are regularly less than those in p...
