| Popis: | High heat generation is the main problem that sophisticated electronic devices can suffer. The pool boiling process can offer an excellent heat dispassion at constant temperatures. Therefore, it is one of the most powerful cooling processes used in nuclear power plants, data centers, air conditioning, etc. Because of that, enhancing pool boiling has become a goal of many recent investigations. The current paper presents an experimental study to evaluate the effect of nano and nanocomposite coating on the performance of pool boiling of deionized water under atmospheric pressure. Four surfaces made of copper were used in this study: smooth, CNT (1 g), GNPs (1 g), and (CNT-GNPs (1:1) g) surfaces. A four-step electro-deposition method was used to fabricate a nickel coating using the abovementioned materials. The variation in coating materials offers different surface wettability and roughness to the fabricated surfaces. The experiment's outcome revealed that the hydrophilic material can enhance the critical heat flux (CHF). The mixed wettability obtained by the nanocomposite coating can improve the heat transfer coefficient (HTC). Maximum enhancement in the CHF is obtained by GNPs (1 g) surface with 102%, while the maximum HTC is obtained by (CNT-GNPs (1:1) g) surface with 154% when it is compared with the plain surface. |
