Abstract
The general objective of this study is to contribute to a better understanding of heat transfer in a nucleate boiling regime. The aim is to determine the heat transfer characteristics under controlled operating conditions (thermodynamics of the fluid, noncondensable gas, surface state). Experimental investigations have been carried out in natural convection and nucleate boiling regimes. An experimental device was realized to perform boiling experiments using a boiling-meter, allowing investigations for different orientations of the wall. The boiling-meter is designed to investigate boiling for single and multiple nucleation sites. The purpose of this paper is to detail the experimental setup as well as the boiling-meter. This device allows the determination of the temporal heat transfer characteristics evolutions. In particular, this new device allows bringing to light the phenomenon of nucleation, growth, and detachment of generated vapor bubbles on a single artificial nucleate site, as well as for multiple natural nucleation sites. First results of the influence of the orientation of the heating wall for multiple and single nucleation sites on heat transfer are presented and analyzed.
