The critical heat flux (CHF) enhancement is of great concern to many engineers and researchers. In the previous study, the saturated pool boiling CHF using a honeycomb porous plate shows a significant enhancement compared to a plain surface. Recently, numerous studies of the CHF enhancement by nanofluid have been reported. Therefore it is anticipated that the CHF might be enhanced greatly by combining these two elements. In the present paper, the effects of a honeycomb porous plate and nanofluid on the CHF were investigated experimentally.
