Abstract
In the current study, a new single-step forced electrodeposition method is proposed for the fabrication of intended micro/nanostructured surfaces. In this method, high thermal conductive Cu-TiO2 nanoparticles (10 nm to 20 nm) are deposited on copper sample with higher current density followed by sintering at reducing atmosphere. Initially, the nanoparticles are deposited uniformly on the copper sample by employing single-step forced convection electrodeposition. Finally, a single-step sintering is employed to enhance the adhesion of the coated layer with the copper sample. During sintering (annealing), the growth in nano-grains is occurred which enhances the inter-connectivity between the grains and also between the grains and base copper surface. The coating thickness (19 to 42 μm), porosity (43 to 75%), wettability (65° to 38°), and roughness (0.38 to 1.32 μm) of the developed surfaces are increased with increase in current density during the electrodeposition. The electrodeposition is a simple and cost effective method and able to provide more dense and stable surfaces. After the surface characterization, their heat transfer performances are analyzed through pool boiling experiments. The maximum percentage reduction in boiling incipience temperature, maximum percent augmentation in critical heat flux and boiling heat transfer coefficient on coated surfaces are 66.7%, 95.71%, and 317%, respectively. Five repeated experimentations are performed at a period of 21 h. The highest variations of ±8.6% in CHF and ± 2.1 °C in wall temperature are observed. Heat transfer enhancement mechanism and effects of various parameters on pool boiling are discussed. The present outcomes are also compared with the published outcomes.
