BOILING HEAT TRANSFER OF NANOFLUIDS: A REVIEW OF RECENT STUDIES

ABSTRACT
Adding solid particles of nanometer scale to fluids is one of the most important passive methods of enhancing heat transfer performance. However, this gives numerous chances to investigate new frontiers, but also raises remarkable difficulties. Nanofluids act as suspension that can be obtained by dispersing nanometer-sized nanoparticles (1-100nm) in host fluids with the aim of enhancing thermal properties. This paper is a review of recent studies on boiling heat transfer of nanofluids for pool and convective flow boiling of nanofluids. The research results, collected since 2012 to present of the recent survey are reviewed and briefly outlined. An emphasis is put on the enhancement and the deterioration of the boiling heat transfer coefficient and critical heat flux of pool and convective flow boiling of nanofluids. Other important parameters affecting the boiling of nanofluids are identified and discussed in this review. While preparing future studies is greatly encouraged in order make this phenomenon well understood.
