    Transient CHF enhancement in high pressure pool boiling on rough surface
    (Elsevier B.V., 2018) Walunj, A.; Sathyabhama, A.
    Experimental investigation of transient pool boiling heat transfer (PBHT) to saturated water from thick, non-lumped 20 mm diameter copper sample is carried at 1 bar, 5 bar and 10 bar pressure. The time constant (?) of exponential heat supply is varied from 1 to 6. The unidirectional scratches are made on the surface to obtain wide range of surface roughness varying from Ra = 0.106 ?m to Ra = 4.03 ?m. The effect of surface roughness, pressure and time constant on transient critical heat flux (CHF) is extensively studied. Transient CHF enhancement for Ra = 4.03 ?m when ? = 1 is found to be 98.88%, 76.55% and 53.21% at pressures P = 1 bar, P = 5 bar and P = 10 bar, respectively, however it is found to be lower by 9.38%, 21.40% and 9.73%, compared to steady state CHF enhancement for Ra = 4.03 ?m, at respective pressures. The Gorenflo correlation is modified by including the additional parameter ? and it predicts the present transient HTC values with mean absolute error (MAE) of 14.91%. The CHF model is developed by considering the effect of capillary wicking in the narrow unidirectional scratches and the bubble angle. This model predicts the present transient CHF values with MAE of 11.89%. © 2018 Elsevier B.V.

    Experimental investigation on transient pool boiling heat transfer from rough surface and heat transfer correlations
    (International Information and Engineering Technology Association info@iieta.org, 2019) Walunj, A.; Sathyabhama, A.
    This paper presents the study of transient boiling characteristics on rough copper sample with surface roughness value (Ra) ranging from 0.106 ?m to 4.03 ?m. The effect of roughness and time constant of exponential heat supply on transient critical heat flux (CHF), maximum heat transfer coefficient (HTC) and onset of nucleate boiling (ONB) is extensively studied. The mechanism of heat transfer in unidirectional scratches of rough sample is discussed. High speed visualization is carried to observe the stages of boiling and bubble dynamics. The HTC correlation developed in this study predicts the present experimental values of HTC with a mean absolute error (MAE) of 9.62 %. © 2019 International Information and Engineering Technology Association.
