Enhancing pool boiling heat transfer of modified surface by 3D Lattice Boltzmann method
ABSTRACT
In this study, pool boiling from micro-pillar modified surface has been simulated numerically by a 3D Lattice Boltzmann method(LBM). Effects of geometries and wettability of micro-pillaron boiling heat transfer performance were also systematically evaluated. Result showed that compared with in micro-pillar surface, heat flux of cubic micro-pillar surface was the highest with the lowest wall temperature. In addition, compared to hydrophilic condition, Heat flux of cubic micro-pillar surface with hydrophobic wettability increased by 98.3%. This is because hydrophobic wettability influenced nucleation site density, vapor-liquid flow field and heat transfer performance much more than cubic shaped geometry. Finally, heat flux of cubic micro-pillar surface with hybrid wettability increased by 430.7% compared to pure hydrophilic wettability. That is due to optimal hybrid wettability surface could control nucleate site location, restrict bubble growth, and increase obviously heat transfer performance.
