The empirical characteristics on transient nature of Al2O3-water nanofluid pool boiling

The present investigation focuses on assessing the transient characteristics of nucleate pool boiling heat transfer in Al2O3-water nanofluids. The stable nanofluid samples were prepared for the wt.% concentrations of 0.01, 0.1, and 1. The experiments were performed for the 12 h (approx.) boiling durations with varying heat flux and nanofluid concentrations. The surface temperatures remained relatively constant for low and medium heat flux with...
