What is Pool Boiling & Critical Heat Flux?

Pool boiling refers to the boiling of a liquid over a heated surface where the liquid is not flowing. It is a fundamental method of heat transfer used in many industrial applications.

Critical Heat Flux (CHF) is the maximum heat flux at which boiling can occur before a sudden drop in heat transfer efficiency, often leading to surface damage or failure in engineering systems. Studying CHF is vital for:

• Design of heat exchangers and boilers

• Nuclear reactor safety and cooling systems

• Thermal management in chemical processes

• Electronics and industrial thermal systems

The Pool Boiling Apparatus allows controlled laboratory experiments to observe nucleate boiling, transition boiling, and CHF, providing practical insights into industrial heat transfer processes.

Working Principle of Pool Boiling Apparatus

The apparatus works on conduction and convection principles of heat transfer:

1. Heating: The copper heater surface transfers heat to the liquid.

2. Boiling Observation: Nucleate boiling begins as bubbles form on the heated surface.

3. Temperature Monitoring: Sensors record liquid and surface temperatures.

4. Critical Heat Flux Determination: Heat flux is gradually increased to observe the point where boiling efficiency decreases sharply.

5. Data Analysis: Boiling curves, CHF, and thermal performance are calculated from experimental readings.

This process allows students to analyze different boiling regimes and understand factors affecting CHF.

Experiments Performed

• Nucleate Boiling Analysis: Study bubble formation and growth on heated surfaces.

• Critical Heat Flux Measurement: Determine CHF for various fluids and surface conditions.
