Effects of Acidity and Method of Preparation on Nucleate Pool Boiling of Nanofluids

Past research has shown contradicting trends in the rate of heat transfer during pool boiling of nanofluids, which could be attributed either to their stability or to their method of preparation or to both. An experimental study has been conducted to investigate the effects of electrostatic stabilization and preparation method of nanofluids on their pool boiling rate of heat transfer. Nanofluids made from water and alumina nanoparticles at 0.1 …
