Study of pool boiling and critical beat flux enhancement in nanofluids (2007, methodology): “(5) Theofanous and Dinh [23] state that κ is a surfacedependent parameter that ‘for a well-wetting surface is smaller than for a poorly-wetting surface’, however they do not provide an analytical expression for it.”
Heat transfer to a silicon carbide/water nanofluid (2009, background): “No particle coating was detected with the Al2O3/water nanofluid [9], but, in a related study [17], it was concluded to be the source of the heat transfer enhancement.”
Review of pool boiling enhancement with additives and nanofluids (2018, methodology): “[100] recommended an alternative expression to predict CHF for nanofluids based on the hot/dry spot theory of Theofanous and Dinh [315],”
Single bubble dynamics on a superhydrophilic surface with artificial nucleation sites (2011, background): “Significant enhancement in the critical heat flux of pool boiling in nanofluids has been also attributed to the improved wettability caused by nanoparticle deposition [4,5].”
A review on nanofluids - part II: experiments and applications (2008, methodology): “Li et al. (2003) also observed deteriorated pool boiling heat transfer for CuO/water nanofluids.”
