Pool boiling of Novec 7300 and self-rewetting fluids on electrically-assisted supersonically solution-blown, copper-plated nanofibers

Pool boiling of Novec 7300 fluid and self-rewetting water–heptanol mixtures on bare copper surface and a copper surface coated with copper-plated nanofibers is studied experimentally. The experimental data revealed a significant increase in the heat removal rate up to the critical heat flux (CHF) on the copper-plated nanofiber surfaces in comparison with bare copper surfaces. Also, the critical heat flux increases on the copper-plated nanofiber …
