Abstract
Experimental results of the heat transfer performance of three enhanced heat transfer surfaces, a Union Carbide, Linde High Flux, a Hitachi Thermoexecl-E, a Wieland Gewa-T, and a plain copper surface in the nucleate boiling regime in R-113 and FC-72 are presented. Prior to obtaining the data, each of the surfaces was subjected to one of three initial conditions, and the effect of past history on boiling incipience was observed. The data showed that all the surfaces behaved in a similar manner prior to the onset of boiling. Temperature overshoots were most pronounced for the initial condition in which the surfaces were submerged in the liquid pool overnight. All of the enhanced surfaces exhibited a two to tenfold increase in the heat transfer coefficient when compared to the plain surface. The high flux surface was most effective over a broad range of heat fluxes. The Hitachi surface showed a similar gain in heat transfer coefficient to that of the High Flux surface below 10 kW/m2, while the Gewa-T surface was not as effective as the other surfaces at low heat fluxes. At high fluxes, the Gewa-T surface performed in a comparable if not better manner.
