High-Pressure Pool-Boiling Heat Transfer Enhancement Mechanism on Sintered-Particle Wick Surface

High-Pressure Pool-Boiling Heat Transfer Enhancement Mechanism on Sintered-Particle Wick Surface

We experimentally study high-pressure pool-boiling heat transfer enhancement using a copper sintered-particle wick structure in water. The wicks are fabricated using the multi-step sintering process using 200 μm sintered copper powder. Thermophysical properties of water change at elevated pressure,...
