Review on the Effect of Various Nanofluids, Concentration and Its Thermophysical Properties in Pool Boiling Performance

Abstract

In recent years, numerous investigations have been carried out for the enhancement of nucleate pool boiling by modifying the fluid properties and hybrid the nanofluids. Nanofluids are the nanoparticle mixed the base liquid such as H₂O, deionized water, ethylene glycol, and so on. This paper is dedicated to the review of enhancement of pool boiling using nanofluids. The liquids have been considered by the investigator to acquire individual CHF, thermophysical properties on different applications such as the generation of power, cooling systems, solar devices, and so on. Many researchers have made different attempts in the literature of nanofluids to show the inconsistency in the critical heat flux (CHF). A detailed description of important factors, instability, and contradictions in the existing research is mentioned.
