Emphasis on boiling pools of micro-nano-porous (nanopores on micropores) coverings, particularly MWCNTs on micropores, is currently limited. Two nanocomposites (Cu–Cu) intermediate layers were deposited between the CNTs and a foundation polished metal surface in the current study to increase the bonding between the CNTs and the Cu foundation. Moreover, a three-stage sintering process is used to improve the adhesion between the Cu–Cu–MWCNTs layer and the metallic substrate. The pool boiling of DI water was experimentally investigated with respect to heat transport, bubble behavior, and critical heat flux. The Cu–Cu–MWCNTs-coated substrate achieved the highest heat transfer augmentation and critical heat flux of 374 % and 116 %, respectively, in comparison to a smooth bare surface. With the surface coated with Cu–Cu–MWCNTs, the early signs of nucleate boiling were seen. Highest critical heat flux for the Cu–Cu–MWCNTs-coated substrate was achieved by delayed dryout owing to better rewetting nature of the drier area beneath the created vapor bubble.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":598,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Thermophysics","volume":"45 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142645775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM) in conjunction with a sensitivity analysis, this method readily applies to systems of various degrees of complexity. It consists of three steps: (1) to estimate each uncertainty contribution of the system based on GUM; (2) to determine the sensitivity of the calculated results to variations in each of the input measurands in turn, replacing the partial derivatives of the GUM with a purely numerical approach; and (3) to calculate the overall uncertainty using the error propagation principle. Furthermore, the calculated sensitivity coefficients enable a critical evaluation of the investigated system, allowing the detection of possible targeted improvements. For this reason, the presented method is called “the sensitivity analysis method.” This is applied to three case studies with increasing complexity: a mass calibration procedure, a volume calibration procedure, and a gravimetric densimeter characterized by a multi-parameter nonlinear measuring model.

The methods are introduced with a focus on binary mixtures. The optical methods comprise optical beam deflection (OBD), optical digital interferometry (ODI) both on the ground and under microgravity conditions in the SODI-IVIDIL experiment for the study of the influence of vibrations onboard the International Space Station, which are all based on Soret cells. The transient holographic grating technique of thermal diffusion-forced Rayleigh scattering (TDFRS) employs light not only for detection of the concentration changes but also for optical volume heating. Thermogravitational columns (TGC) utilize the coupling between convection and thermodiffusion to create concentration changes inside a vertical column with a horizontal temperature gradient. While samples are analyzed after extraction from the column in a classical setup, the recently developed transparent microcolumn allows for interferometric in situ monitoring of the concentration field. The most recent technique relies on the measurement of giant non-equilibrium fluctuations (NEFs) by small-angle light scattering techniques. Research on ternary mixtures, both on the ground and in microgravity, has gained momentum in the context of the DCMIX microgravity project of ESA. Most techniques employed for binaries can be extended to ternaries by introducing a second detection color or by analyzing both refractive index and density of extracted TGC samples.

A fast resonance frequency tracking method for PA cell based on the hybrid single-frequency excitation and the fast fourier transform (FFT) is proposed. The hybrid single-frequency serves as the excitation signal. The FFT is used to collect the spectral data of all frequencies within a certain bandwidth.
