Book Description
Pool boiling is an effective method used in many technical applications for a long time. Its highly efficient heat transfer performance results from not only the convection effect but also the phase change process in pool boiling. Pool boiling enhancement has been studied in the past decade. However, the mechanisms of pool boiling has not yet been fully understood because of the many parameters that affect its behavior including the latent heat of vaporization, nucleation density, bubble and fluid motion, interaction at the interface, and the physical properties of surface. Among the current studies, bubble departure rate is viewed as one of the dominant factors that affect heat transfer. This research considers the effect of bubble confinement on pool boiling. In the study, confinement was achieved by placing a flat plate over heated surface. The flat plate has a hole in the middle, and there is a gap between the flat plate and the heater. The diameters of hole are 2 mm, 3 mm, and 4 mm; the gap distances are 2.3 mm, 3.6 mm, and 5 mm. The heater consists of an indium-tin-oxide layer deposited on a silicon wafer. An IR camera and high speed cameras are used to acquire the surface temperature distribution and bubble image. By controlling the plate hole size and the gap distance, the effect of confinement on heat transfer performance can be evaluated. Moreover, heat transfer performance of pool boiling with three-2mm-holes plate was investigated and compared with that of single-2mm-hole plate with the smallest gap size. At the lower heat flux values, heat transfer enhancement in confined space was experimentally observed. Surface temperature can be reduced by 4 °C at most. Results indicate that higher bubble departure rate and coalescence effect might be the dominant factor for improving heat transfer performance in a confined space caused by induced shear flow.

Book Description
"The miniaturization trend in electronics has spurred the development of efficient thermal management solutions. Single phase techniques are reliable but are limited by large fluid temperature differences and pressure drop. Two phase cooling has very little pressure drop with large heat absorption capacity. Boiling stands out as one of the most effective methods of heat dissipation which utilizes phase change. However, the design of two-phase systems is limited by the critical heat flux condition where a vapor layer prevents the liquid from contacting the heater surface. The current research study is directed towards increasing the CHF and maintaining low wall superheats to design efficient heat removal systems. In this study, different surface modification techniques are studied with an aim to identify various mechanisms that affect the heat transfer. Different surface enhancements in the form of Circumferential rectangular microchannels(CRM) and fin are used over cylindrical surface. Cylindrical tube with outer diameter of 15 mm was used for testing with water as working fluid. Tubular surface with fin attached performed the best yielding the CHF of 115 W/cm2 at wall superheat of 18oC which translated to an enhancement of 76%. The best performance of 110 W/cm2 at 9 oC without reaching CHF was obtained amongst CRM. Different mechanisms were identified by analyzing the results from pool boiling experiments. Area enhancement and contact line substantially affected the heat transfer performance in CRM. Area enhancement increased performance by providing additional area for heat transfer. Contact line region has higher heat flux. Single bubble growing over multiple grooves has increased contact line density which increases heat transfer performance. Increment in CHF was obtained by employing any one of these surface enhancements. High speed imaging enabled to analyze the behavior of bubble after nucleation on the fin surface thus deciphering the flow modulation over the cylindrical surface. Presence of bubble diverter at the bottom surface ensured higher evaporative momentum force towards the cylindrical surface. This displaced nucleating bubble at the bottom away from the fin, enabling liquid to rewet the surface. This allowed the formation of separate liquid vapor pathways which resulted in increased performance."--Abstract.

Book Description
"Pool boiling is of interest in heat transfer applications because of its potential for removing large amount of heat resulting from the latent heat of evaporation and little pressure drop penalty for circulating coolant through the system. However, the heat transfer performance of pool boiling systems is still not comparable to the cooling ability provided by enhanced microchannels operating under single-phase conditions. This investigation focuses on the bubble dynamics and heat transfer on plain and structured microchanneled surfaces under various heat fluxes in an effort to understand the underlying heat transfer mechanism through the use of a high speed camera. In a preliminary study, silicon chips have been tested in the nucleate boiling regime, and beneficial microchannel geometries have been identified. It is determined that heat transfer enhancement occurs because of (i) an increase in surface area and (ii) an improvement in the heat transfer mechanism through the channels functioning as liquid conduits for three side heating. The range for channel size in which the greatest enhancement occurs has been identified as being 200 - 400 [micron] width and 300 - 500 [micron] depth. The second study has been investigated with copper chips, with improvements to the test setup for accurate measurement of surface temperature. Ten chips, in addition to a plain chip have been evaluated for heat transfer performance. It has been determined that surfaces with many, small hydraulic diameter channels enhance the heat transfer as well as surfaces with wide and deep channels. The best performing chip had a record heat transfer coefficient of 269 kW/m2K. The large heat fluxes of over 240 W/cm2 were attained without reaching the critical heat flux condition, because of the open channels on the surface acting as conduits for liquid supply to the nucleation sites. The microchannels prevent surface dryout and critical heat flux (CHF), while the channel width controls the size of the departing bubbles."--Abstract.
