An experimental study of pool boiling behavior on micro-porous enhanced square heater surfaces immersed in PF5060 is performed. The effects of heater orientation, Subcooling and substrate distance on the pool boiling heat transfer performance for the double heaters were investigated under increasing heat-flux conditions. The boiling performance of micro-porous coated surface was better than that of plain surface. The double heaters with upper substrate of 0.2cm substrate interval have lower boiling performances compared with the results for the double heaters with that of 0.5cm and 1.0cm substrate interval and without the substrate. In comparison to upper heater and below heater with orientation, the upper heater has lower superheat temperature than the below heater due to the bubble sweeping.

The present research is an experimental study on characteristics of cooling behavior for the adjacent copper blocks with surface roughness or micro-porous coated surface. The experiments were carried out at saturation state or within subcooled states of PF5060. The effects of heater orientation and the intervals between heating surfaces or substrates were investigated under various heat flux conditions. The boiling performance of copper block with micro-porous coated surface was better than that of copper block with surface roughness. It is understood that the bubble sweeping enhances boiling performance for the heaters with inclinations of $\theta=45^{\circ}\;and\;\theta=90^{\circ}$, where as the bubble flattening decreases boiling performance for the heaters with inclinations of $\theta=135^{\circ}\;and\;\theta=180^{\circ}$. In comparison to upper heater and below heater with orientation, the upper heater has lower superheat temperature than the below heater due to the bubble sweeping. It is also found that boiling performance decreases in the case of adjacent double heaters with only 0.2cm substrate interval.

Experiments were performed to investigate bubble behaviors and pool boiling Critical Heat Flux (CHF) on a thin flat rectangular copper heater fabricated on Printed Circuit Board (PCB), at various inclination angles. The surface inclination angles were $0^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, $90^{\circ}$, $135^{\circ}$, and $180^{\circ}$. Results showed the Onset of Nucleate Boiling (ONB) heat flux increased with increasing heater orientation from $0^{\circ}$ to $90^{\circ}$, while early ONB occurred when the heater faced downwards ($135^{\circ}$ and $180^{\circ}$). The nucleate boiling was observed to be unstable at low heat flux (1-21% of CHF) and changed into typical boiling when the heat flux was above 21% of CHF. The result shows the CHF decreased with increasing heater orientation from $0^{\circ}$ to $180^{\circ}$. In addition, the bubble departure diameter at the heater facing upwards ($0^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, and $90^{\circ}$) was more prominent compared to that of the heater facing downward ($135^{\circ}$). The nucleation site density also observed increased with increasing heat flux. Moreover, the departed bubbles with larger size were observed to require a longer time to re-heat and activate new nucleation sites. These results proved that the ONB, CHF, and bubble dynamics were strongly dependent on the heater surface orientation.

The Bubble Jet Loop Heat Pipe (BJLHP) is designed to operate in the horizontal orientation. The motion of the bubble generated by boiling working fluid on a heater surface in the evaporating section of the BJLHP helps the working fluid transfer heat to the condensing portion. In this study, we changed the position of the heater in the evaporating section from concentric to eccentric. The concentric heater is located at the center of the tube in the evaporating part, and the eccentric heater is located at the bottom of the inner surface of the same tube. We used R-134a as the working fluid, and the charging ratio was 50%vol. We measured the temperatures of the evaporating and condensing sections by changing the input electric power from 50 W to 200 W, measuring every 50 W. The results of the experiment show that the effective thermal conductivity of BJLHP using an eccentric heater is four times higher than the BJLHP obtained using a concentric heater. Additionally, we conducted a visualization experiment on the evaporating portion of BJLHP to determine why the effective thermal conductivity was higher. The working fluid was water, and we took pictures of the flow visualization for BJLHP. Nucleate boiling with the eccentric heater was more intense and generated more bubbles. Therefore, the eccentric heater was more saturated by the liquefied working fluid.

Experiments to measure the pool boiling heat transfer on the micro-fin surfaces were performed with PF5060. The effects of various orientation and subcooling of heat surface on pool boiling performance were investigated under various heat-flux conditions for plain and micro-fin surfaces. The comparison between the results of this study and those of previous work shows a similar trend at the same conditions. From the results, it is proved that nucleate boiling performance is strongly dependent on the orientation, the micro-fin structure and the subcooling of heat surface. The heat flux on the surface with orientation angles of $45^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$ was larger than that on horizontal surface(${\theta}=0^{\circ}$) at same wall superheat because of the effect of bubble sweeping. The nucleate boiling performance of micro-fin surfaces is enhanced by decreasing the fin size(WxL) and the pitch, respectively. The subcooling makes nucleate boiling performance lower for both micro-fin and plain surfaces.

The pool-boiling critical heat flux (CHF) of water on small flat plates has been experimentally investigated focusing on the effects of the inclination angle and size of the heated surface under near atmospheric pressure. The second-phase experiment was accomplished to find out the general CHF behavior for over-all inclination angles from -90$^{\circ}$ to 90$^{\circ}$using two plate-type test sections (30$\times$150 mm and 40$\times$150 mm) submerged in a slightly subcooled water pool. Test results generally confirm the first-phase findings and show little effect of inclination angle for inclined upward-facing cases. CHF position moves to lower position with the increase of the heater characteristic size and inclination angle(from -30$^{\circ}$to 60$^{\circ}$).

하향 가열 평판에서의 풀비등 임계열유속 실험이 수행되었다. 이는 원자로에서의 노심용융사고 발생시 그 결과를 완화시키는 한 방법으로 고려되고 있는 원자로용기 외부 냉각 (Ex-Vessel Flooding) 개념과 연관된다. 대기압하, 포화상태 물에서 너비가 다른 두 개의 평판 (20mm$\times$200mm및 25mm$\times$200mm)을 이용, -90$^{\circ}$(평형 하향), -88$^{\circ}$, -86$^{\circ}$, -84$^{\circ}$, -60$^{\circ}$와 -40$^{\circ}$의 경사 가도에 대한 임계열유속이 측정되었다. 실험 결과 너비가 큰 평판에서, 그리고 수직 위치로부터의 각도가 클수록 임계열유속이 낮게 나타났다. 이는 가열면에서 발생된 기포들의 이탈이 어려워지기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 경사가도에 따른 전체적 인 임계열유속 경향은 기존 연구들과 대체로 일치하나, 임계열유속 감소율이 변화하는 천이 각도가 -80$^{\circ}$ 근방에서 발견되었다.
