Pool boiling, one of the key thermal-hydraulics phenomena, has been widely studied for improving heat transfer efficiencies and safety of nuclear power plants, refrigerating systems, solar-collector heat pipes, and other facilities and equipments. In the present study, the critical heat flux (CHF) and heat-transfer coefficients were tested under the pool-boiling state using graphene M-5 and M-15 nanofluids as well as oxidized graphene M-5 nanofluid. The results showed that the highest CHF increase for both graphene M-5 and M-15 was at the 0.01% volume fraction and, moreover, that the CHF-increase ratio for small-diameter graphene M-5 was higher than that for large-diameter graphene M-15. Also at the 0.01% volume fraction, the oxidized graphene M-5 nanofluid showed a 41.82%-higher CHF-increase ratio and a 26.7%-higher heat-transfer coefficient relative to the same nanofluid without oxidation treatment at the excess temperature where the CHF of distilled water occurs.

The experiments of boiling heat transfer were performed to investigate the boiling enhancement in saturated water by using multi-stage electroplated surface. In order to optimize the boiling performance, current flux and duration in multi-stage electroplating were varied. Current flux, 2 $A/12cm^2$ and 0.33 $A/cm^2$, and duration ranging from 15 second to 50 second are considered. The results showed that multi-stage electro plated surfaces generate enhancement of boiling parameters such as boiling incipient superheat, boiling heat transfer coefficient, and critical heat flux compared to plain surface. The SEM images of the coated surfaces were captured to examine the structure of porous surface, which provides the enhancement of boiling heat transfer.

In this work, nucleate pool boiling heat transfer coefficients(HTCs) of pure water are measured on horizontal 26 fpi low fin, Turbo-B and Thermoexcel-E square surfaces of 9.53 mm length. HTCs are taken from 10 $kW/m^2$ to critical heat flux for all surfaces. Test results show that critical heat fluxes(CHFs) of all enhanced surfaces are greatly improved as compared to that of a plain surface. CHFs of water on the 26 fpi low fin surface, Thermoexcel-E surface, and Turbo-B are increased up to 320%, 275%, and 150% as compared to that of the plain surface, respectively. CHF of the Turbo-B enhanced surface is lower than that of the 26 fpi low fin surface due to the surface geometry. The heat transfer enhancement ratios of the Thermoexcel-E surface, low fin surface and Turbo-B enhanced surface are 1.6~2.9, 1.6~2.1, 1.4~1.7 respectively in the range of heat fluxes tested. Judging from these results, it can be said that these types of enhanced surfaces can be used in heat transfer applications at high heat fluxes.

Boiling heat transfer phenomena is widely applied to BWR and electrical heating system because of its high heat transfer coefficient. In these systems, steady state heat transfer is dependent on nucleate boiling. When the heat generating rate is sharply increased or the cooling capacity of coolant is sharply decreased, sharp wall temperature rise is occurred under the critical heat flux(CHF) condition. This paper presents the simple wall temperature fluctuation model of transition mechanism in the repeating process of overheating and quenching, when coalescent bubble passes relatively slowly on the wall and simultaneously the transition from nucleate boiling to film boiling is carried at especially onset of the CHF state. The values calculated by the present model are resulted comparatively good with the measured.

The pool-boiling critical heat flux (CHF) of water on small flat plates has been experimentally investigated focusing on the effects of the inclination angle and size of the heated surface under near atmospheric pressure. The second-phase experiment was accomplished to find out the general CHF behavior for over-all inclination angles from -90$^{\circ}$ to 90$^{\circ}$using two plate-type test sections (30$\times$150 mm and 40$\times$150 mm) submerged in a slightly subcooled water pool. Test results generally confirm the first-phase findings and show little effect of inclination angle for inclined upward-facing cases. CHF position moves to lower position with the increase of the heater characteristic size and inclination angle(from -30$^{\circ}$to 60$^{\circ}$).

Boiling heat transfer characteristic is very important in the various industries such as solar thermal system, power generation, heat exchangers, cooling of high-power electronics components and cooling of nuclear reactors. Therefore, in this study, boiling heat transfer characteristics such as critical heat flux (CHF) and heat transfer coefficient under the pool boiling state were tested using graphene nanofluids. Graphene used in this study, which have the same thermal conductivity but with different sizes. The experimental results showed that the highest the CHF and boiling heat transfer coefficient increase ratio for graphene nanofluids was at the 0.01 vol.%. At the present juncture, the CHF and boiling heat transfer coefficient increase ratio of the small-sized graphene nanofluids was higher than the large-sized graphene nanofluids.

An anodic electrophoretic deposition (EPD) technique is used to create a uniform TiO₂ thin film coating on boiling thin steel plates (1.1 mm by 90 mm). All of the effective parameters except time of the EPD method are kept constant. To investigate the effect of gamma irradiation on the critical heat flux (CHF), the test specimens were irradiated in a gamma cell to different doses ranging from 100 to 300 kGy, and then SEM and BET analysis were performed. For each coated specimen, the contact angle and capillary length were measured. The specimens were then tested in a boiling pool for CHF and boiling heat transfer coefficient. It was observed that irradiation significantly decreases the maximum pore diameter while it increases the porosity, pore surface area and pore volume. These surface modifications due to gamma irradiation increased the CHF of the nano-coated surfaces compared to that of the unirradiated surfaces. The heat transfer coefficient (HTC) of the nano-coated surfaces irradiated at 300 kGy increased from 83 to 160 kW/(㎡ K) at 885 kW/㎡ wall heat flux by 100%. The CHF of the irradiated (300 kGy) and unirradiated surfaces are 2035 kW/㎡ and 1583 kW/㎡, respectively, an increase of nearly 31%.

This paper presents a prediction of critical heat flux (CHF) in bubbly flow regime using dry-spot model proposed recently by authors for pool and flow boiling CHF and existing correlations for forced convective heat transfer coefficient, active site density and bubble departure diameter in nucleate boiling region. Without any empirical constants always present in earlier models, comparisons of the model predictions with experimental data for upward flow of water in vertical, uniformly-heated round tubes are performed and show a good agreement. The parametric trends of CHF have been explored with respect to variations in pressure, tube diameter and length, mass flux and inlet subcooling.

Pool boiling heat transfer of water saturated at atmospheric pressure was investigated experimentally on Cu surfaces with high-temperature, thermally-conductive, microporous coatings (HTCMC). The coatings were created by sintering Cu powders on Cu surfaces in a nitrogen gas environment. A parametric study of the effects of particle size and coating thickness was conducted using three average particle sizes (APSs) of $10{\mu}m$, $25{\mu}m$, and $67{\mu}m$ and various coating thicknesses. It was found that nucleate boiling heat transfer (NBHT) and critical heat flux (CHF) were enhanced significantly for sintered microporous coatings. This is believed to have resulted from the random porous structures that appear to include reentrant type cavities. The maximum NBHT coefficient was measured to be approximately $400kW/m^2k$ with APS $67{\mu}m$ and $296{\mu}m$ coating thicknesses. This value is approximately eight times higher than that of a plain Cu surface. The maximum CHF observed was $2.1MW/m^2$ at APS $67{\mu}m$ and $428{\mu}m$ coating thicknesses, which is approximately double the CHF of a plain Cu surface. The enhancement of NBHT and CHF appeared to increase as the particle size increased in the tested range. However, two larger particle sizes ($25{\mu}m$ and $67{\mu}m$) showed a similar level of enhancement.
