Experimental nucleate pool boiling data were collected for structures in the form of extended surfaces sintered with perforated foil. The article describes experimental investigations for two kinds of surfaces: smooth and mini-fins with sintered perforated foil (MFP). The MFP surfaces were manufactured out of perforated copper foil (pore diameters: 0.05 – 0.3 mm) sintered with the mini-fins, uniformly spaced on the base surface.
The experiments were carried out at atmospheric pressure for four kinds of the fluids: water, ethanol, FC-72 and Novec 649. The results for these working fluids were compared in terms of the Bond number and other dimensionless parameters. For all working fluids, the heat transfer coefficients obtained for the MFP surfaces were from 2 to 5 times higher than those for the smooth surface.
Using a regression analysis with reference to selected physical properties and several characteristic dimensions, it was possible to develop a correlation for the Nusselt number.
