Investigations on pool boiling critical heat flux, transient characteristics and bonding strength of heater wire with aqua based reduced graphene oxide nanofluids

In the present work, the pool boiling critical heat flux, transient heat transfer characteristics, and bonding strength of thin Ni-Cr wire with aqua based reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanofluids are experimentally studied. Results indicate: (i) the critical heat flux (CHF) of 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 g·L− 1 concentrations of rGO-water nanofluids varies from 1.42 to 2.40 MW·m− 2; (ii) the CHF remains same for the tested samples during...
