"Pool boiling experiments have been conducted with self-rewetting fluids consisting of aqueous butanol and pentanol solution to study the boiling heat transfer enhancement at pressures of 1 ~ 4 bars. Although self-rewetting fluids have been used to enhance the performance of heat pipes, boiling heat transfer characteristics are yet to be fully understood especially at pressures above atmospheric. Pool boiling experiments with aqueous butanol and pentanol solutions were performed using an electrically heated platinum wire to obtain pool boiling heat transfer data up to the Critical Heat Flux (CHF). Aqueous solutions with butanol concentrations 2-7% showed enhanced heat transfer coefficients …

Dissertations and Theses
"Experimental studies are conducted to predict the phenomenon(s) and to describe some kind of causation. The design of experiment and the experimental facility is a rigorous method. A well designed, manufactured and operated experimental facility is robust under criticism. Thermal hydraulic characteristics of air-water two-phase flows in a vertical tube (poly-dispersed) and also annulus (mono-dispersed) have been subjected to be studied in detail. The hydrodynamics modeling and simulations need a detailed comparison and verification with experimental results. Obviously, a well-designed experimental facility is required to provide a set of highly accurate and reliable data. To do so, two different research …
