Nucleate pool boiling heat transfer characteristics of dilute Al2O3–ethyleneglycol nanofluids

Pool boiling heat transfer coefficients of dilute stabilized Al2O3–ethyleneglycol nanofluids as possible coolant fluid are experimentally quantified. The influence of different parameters such as heat flux, heating surface nano-roughness, concentration of nanofluids and fouling resistance on the pool boiling heat transfer coefficient of alumina nanofluids has experimentally been investigated and briefly discussed. Results demonstrated that there...
