Boiling of Various Liquids on Microstructurized Surfaces

Abstract

This paper presents the results of experimental studies of the heat transfer of microstructurized surfaces of various configurations and sizes obtained by the method of deforming cutting. It has been shown that the intensity of heat transfer on such surfaces with three-dimensional columnar and channel structures increases by 20 times, and on microfinned surfaces by 2.5 times, compared to the smooth boiling surface. The critical heat flow density increases 4.1–6 times thereby. The obtained results on the heat transfer on the above surfaces and the critical flow densities on them can be used for calculating the heat transfer coefficients and the heat loads in boiling of various saturated liquids on such surfaces with sizes of fin elements from 50 to 420 μm at a pressure of 0.1 MPa under free convection conditions.
