Study of Boiling Characteristic Curves in Subcooled Pool Boiling of Water : 3rd Report, Behavior of a Vaper Mass and Surface Temperature Variations in Transitional Pool Boiling

Pool Boiling Heat Transfer in Water/Amines Solutions

In this investigation, nucleate boiling heat transfer coefficients were experimentally measured during pool boiling of mixtures, consisting of water/monoethanolamine and water/diethanolamine on a horizontal heating rod, under atmospheric pressure. The experiment was carried out below 205 kW.m-2 heat flux, over a wide range of concentrations. These experiments include, measurement of pool boilin...

Direct Numerical Simulation of Subcooled Nucleate Pool Boiling

With the long-term objective of Critical Heat Flux (CHF) prediction, a Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) framework for simulation of subcooled and saturated nucleate pool boiling is developed. One case of saturated, and three cases of subcooled boiling at different subcooling levels are simulated. Grid refinement study is also reported. Both boiling and condensation phenomena can be computed si...

Secondary pool boiling effects

Comparison of Area-averaged and Local Boiling Curves in Pool and Jet Impingement Boiling

Characterization of local boiling trends, in addition to the typically reported area-averaged trends, is essential for the robust design and implementation of phase change technologies to sensitive heat transfer applications such as electronics cooling. This paper compares local and area-averaged boiling curves during a phase change process using non-intrusive quantitative infrared thermal visu...

Highly subcooled pool boiling heat transfer at various gravity levels

A microscale heater array 2:7 mm 2:7 mm in size along with a video camera was used to provide subcooled pool boiling heat transfer measurements at gravity levels ranging from 1.8g to 10 g. The fluid was FC-72 at 1 atm and subcooled by nominally 36 C for all cases. A Terrier–Orion sounding rocket and the KC-135 aircraft were used to provide the microgravity and low-g environments, respectively. ...
