Abstract
Thermal energy conversion systems for ships on the environment in ocean are commonly limited by the space or equipment. It is very important to make more effective use of the energy systems such as heat exchangers. For the purpose of the improvement of performance for these energy systems, the utilization of boiling heat transfer is the most effective method to solve these kinds of problems. In this research, steady-state and transient subcooled pool boiling heat transfer was carried out using exponentially increasing heat inputs to a horizontal cylinder in a wetting liquid of ethanol. The photographic observations on the vapor behavior at the boiling heat transfer processes were performed using a high-speed video camera.
