Experimental investigation of the effect of particle deposition on pool boiling of nanofluids

Research on pool boiling of nanofluids has shown contradicting trends in the heat transfer coefficient (HTC). Such trends have been attributed, in part, to nanoparticle deposition on the heater surface. An experimental investigation of the transient nature of nanoparticle deposition and its effect on the HTC of pool boiling of nanofluids at various concentrations has been carried out. Pool boiling experiments have been conducted on a horizontal …
