CHF enhancement of a large heated surface by a honeycomb porous plate and a gridded metal structure in a saturated pool boiling of nanofluid
The enhancement of the critical heat flux (CHF) in saturated pool boiling of water-based nanofluid (containing TiO2 nanoparticles) by the attachment of a honeycomb porous plate (HPP) and a gridded metal structure (GMS) on a horizontal heated surface have been investigated experimentally. The honeyco...

The enhancement of the critical heat flux (CHF) in saturated pool boiling of water-based nanofluid (containing TiO2 nanoparticles) by the attachment of a honeycomb porous plate (HPP) and a gridded metal structure (GMS) on a horizontal heated surface have been investigated experimentally. The honeycomb porous plate attached to the heated surface enhances the liquid supply due to capillary action to the heated surface and the release of vapor through the vapor escape channel. The deposition of nanoparticles on the heated surface during the boiling of the nanofluid enhances the spread of liquid along the heated surface due to the capillary action.
