Abstract:The experimental investigation of the critical heat flux (CHF) of saturated nucleate pool boiling of pure water and water-based Al2O3 nanofluids on the platinum wire with a diameter of 50 µm was conducted under earth gravity and hypergravity. The gravity level ranges from 1 to 3 g, the saturation pressures range from 0.1 to 0.6 MPa, and the Al2O3 concentrations in the nanofluids ranges from 0.001wt% to 0.015wt%. The experimental results show that both pressure and gravity are vital factors enhancing the CHF, w… Show more
