Abstract

This study investigates the effect of microstructured surface of brass and its morphology change due to the deposition of nanofluids in pool boiling process on heat transfer characteristics with pure deionized water and water-ethylene glycol at different volumetric concentrations. In addition, nanofluids are made of OH-based multiwall carbon nanotubes with base fluids listed in two volumetric percentages of 0.025 % and 0.1 %. On the microstructured surface, with increasing ethylene glycol concentration, the critical heat flux and heat transfer coefficient decreased, and the highest increase was related to deionized water boiling. On the microstructured surface in the presence of nanofluids with hybrid base fluids, the critical heat flux and heat transfer coefficient increased with increasing nanofluid concentration, and the highest increase was related to deionized water base nanofluid boiling at volumetric concentration of 0.1 %, which was 74.9 % and 91.8 %, respectively, compared to the boiling of deionized water on the microstructured surface. On the deposited microstructured surface by nanoparticles, the highest changes critical heat flux and heat transfer coefficient was related to deionized water base nanofluid boiling at volumetric concentration of 0.1 %, which was increased 18.98 % and decreased 48.6 %, respectively, compared to the boiling of deionized water on the microstructured surface without deposition.
