Study of nucleate pool boiling heat transfer of refrigerants on porous aluminium surfaces

Abstract

In this present era, sophistication of industries is revolving around the high-performance newlineheat transporting systems. Low thermal conductivity of the conventional fluids puts a newlinefundamental limit on heat transfer. So, researchers are trying to develop energy efficient heat newlinetransferring methods for augmentation of the heat transfer performance. Pool boiling has been newlinewidely employed in electronic, power production and refrigeration systems due to its high newlineefficiency in heat transfer. However, the investigation and application of microporous aluminium newline(Al) matrix composite coatings to enhance the pool boiling heat transfer (BHT) are very limited. newline
