Abstract
The article deals with the problem of pool boiling heat transfer enhancement on metal wire mesh coatings made of copper and phosphor bronze at nucleate boiling of distilled water and high purity ethyl alcohol under ambient pressure. The tests have been performed on horizontal samples containing different microstructures produced with the sintering technology. The samples were attached to the heating block with soldering. As a result of the experiments, boiling curves were obtained, describing the relationship between the dissipated heat flux and the superheat values for each specimen. A considerable augmentation of heat flux has been recorded for the meshed surfaces in relation to the smooth reference surface without any coating. Generally, the highest enhancement was recorded for the low superheat values. The presented test results have been discussed and then compared with selected correlations available in literature for nucleate boiling heat transfer on microstructure coated surfaces.
