Experiments are carried on 20 mm diameter copper sample at saturated condition of distilled water. Unidirectional scratches are made by different grit sandpaper. The surface roughness value R<inf>a</inf> is varied from 0.106 μm to 4.03 μm. The effect of R<inf>a</inf> on heat transfer at different pressure is reported. The variation in heat transfer coefficient with the heat flux for samples of different R<inf>a</inf> is also examined. The predicted critical heat flux (CHF) by Kim's model is found to in good agreement with present experimental values with mean absolute error of 12.06%. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.and heat transfer coefficientcritical heat fluxpool boilingSurface roughness
