Abstract

In the present work, a novel technique is introduced to enhance thermal conductivity of the surface by grinding process with predefined location of diamond abrasive particles on wheel surface. Grinding process with modified wheel led to an increase the bubble nucleation site formation and departure frequency in surface channels. For a more detailed study, grinding results were compared with the surface produced by the laser with the same morphology. Although both the structured surfaces revealed better heat transfer coefficient in comparison with to unstructured surface (grinding by 455% and laser by 348%), abrasive-structured surface present 130% improvement comparing the surface produced by laser for wall superheat of 10 K. The cause of this phenomenon is the formation of an oxide layer during the laser processing, which has led to a decrease in the thermal conductivity of the surface. This phenomenon was clearly detected by X-ray-spectroscopy mapping analysis, and to better understand it, the heating surfaces reached two consecutive critical heat flux. The result showed that after the first achieving CHF, the sample surface oxidizes, which leads to a decrease in the CHF and an increase in wall superheat. The hypothesis of formation of the oxide layer on the surface after CHF was also proved by static contact angle testing, which the angle increased from 115 to 133° after boiling. This 13.5% improvement was due to an increase in surface roughness stems from the formation of the oxide layer. Increasing the hydrophobicity of the surface led to a problem to facile water refilling (surface rewet ability) and capillary wicking of the surface and to delay the nucleation site formation, bubble formation, its growth, and finally departure frequency.

Highlights

• Structured surfaces were manufactured by laser engraving and a modified grinding process, and their results were compared.

• Up to 455% improvement was observed in the heat transfer coefficient for surface produced by grinding process compared to the as-received samples at wall superheat of 10 K, in addition, it improvement comparing the surface produced by laser was 130%.

• The best HTC improvement has been achieved at the wall superheat about 9 K.

• The HTC for second achieving the critical heat flux was approximately 17% less than first one.

• The X-ray spectroscopy showed that after achieving the first CHF, the surface is severely oxidized. It leads to a decrease in heat transfer coefficient.

• A 3.4 times improvement in bubble diameter and a 2.2 times improvement in bubble departure frequency are the main reasons for the enhanced heat transfer conditions of abrasive-structured surface.

• The reason for the superiority of the grinding method for improving the thermal conductivity over the laser process can be attributed to the lack of oxide layer formation.
