Summary

Flow visualization experiments were used to establish the mechanism of boiling on enhanced surfaces having sub-surface tunnels with surface pores. Based on this mechanism, a semi-analytical model for nucleate boiling is proposed. The model predicts heat transfer coefficient for the R11, R123, R134a and R22 pool boiling data with mean square deviation= 20%.
