- An Experimental Study of Heat Transfer in Pool Boiling to Investigate the Effect of Surface Roughness on Critical Heat Flux
- Abstract
- Utilizing pool boiling as a cooling method holds significant importance within power plant industries due to its ability to effectively manage temperature differentials amidst high heat flux conditions. This study delves into the impact of surface modifications on the pool boiling process by conducting experiments on four distinct boiling surfaces under various conditions. An experimental setup tailored for this investigation is meticulously designed and implemented. The primary objective is to discern the optimal surface configuration capable of efficiently absorbing maximum heat flux while minimizing temperature differentials. In addition, this study scrutinizes bubble dynamics, pivotal in nucleation processes. Notably, surfaces polished unidirectionally (ROD), exhibiting lower roughness, demonstrate superior performance in critical heat flux (CHF) compared to surfaces with circular roughness (RCD). Moreover, the integration of bubble liquid separation methodology along with the introduction of a bubble micro-layer yields a microchannel surface. Remarkably, this modification results in a noteworthy enhancement of 131% in CHF and a substantial 211% increase in the heat transfer coefficient (HTC) without resorting to particle incorporation onto the surface. This indicates promising avenues for enhancing cooling efficiency through surface engineering without additional additives.
