Two-Phase Heat Transfer Enhancement on Sintered Copper Microparticle Porous Structure Module Surface

An experimental study of the pool boiling two-phase heat transfer on a sintered Cu microparticle porous structure module surface is conducted. Enhanced heat transfer capacity of this module surface has been reported, and the boiling characteristics have been investigated. The bubble dynamics and nucleate size distribution have been compared to the theoretical predictions, and the speculated mechanisms have been discussed.
