▼ A novel method for measuring
heat flux of boiling water is designed and built to study
critical heat flux (CHF) and observe the response of a
heat flux sensor when CHF occurs. A high temperature
heat flux sensor is embedded in the wall of a pipe to get a direct measurement of the surface
heat flux and sensor temperature. By submerging the pipe in water and applying a controlled
heat flux to the inside diameter over the area where the sensor is located, boiling is created on the outer surface while measuring the
heat flux. The
heat flux is gradually increased up to CHF and the
heat flux response is observed to determine if the
heat flux sensor could sense CHF when it occurred. The
heat flux sensor is able to consistently measure the value for CHF, which is approximately 510 kW/m" for this system. It is also observed during the experiments that the
heat flux response undergoes an inflection of the
heat transfer coefficient at a consistent temperature just before reaching CHF. This observed inflection caused the
heat flux response to deviate from its cubic relationship with the temperature and drastically increase for a very small change in temperature. This inflection response can be used as an indication for approaching CHF and can also be used to approximate its value without prior knowledge of when it occurs.

▼ Critical heat flux (CHF) represents the upper limit of nucleate boiling
heat transfer, beyond which boiling transitions to the inefficient film boiling regime. Potentially catastrophic burnout conditions may ensue and endanger the safe and reliable operation of the boiling device. Thus, it is highly desirable to augment CHF in order to boost the thermal performance of various energy-intensive applications that rely on boiling to transport a large amount of thermal energy.
In this work, CHF enhancement was explored both theoretically and experimentally by capitalizing on the ability of electrowetting (EW) to modulate the liquid-vapor interfacial stabilities and the liquid-vapor-solid three-phase contact line motion. To do so, a Leidenfrost drop (i.e., a liquid drop hovering over a highly superheated solid surface) was first employed as a model system, due to its simplicity and close connection to film boiling and CHF, to investigate the effect of the electric field on the dynamics of the vapor film that separates the drop from the hot surface. It was found that the electrostatic attraction force alone cannot destabilize the vapor film, instead, it is the accelerated vapor flow that changes the
critical wavelength of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability, thus causing the film to collapse. The results show that, without the need for any complicated surface micro/nanostructures, the Leidenfrost point (LFP) temperature of water can be increased from 200°C to 380°C with a moderate voltage of 56 V a frequency of 50 Hz.
Subsequently, to better understand the impact of EW on the liquid-vapor interfacial behaviors, the dynamics of EW-induced motion of both liquid droplets and vapor bubbles was studied. Computational fluid dynamics models were developed by using the Volume of Fluid (VOF)-Continuous Surface Force (CSF) method to scrutinize the response of a droplet when
subject to EW actuating signals. In particular, a dynamic contact angle model based on the molecular kinetic theory was implemented as the boundary condition at the moving contact line, which considers the effects of both the contact line friction and the pinning force. The droplet shape evolution and the interfacial resonance oscillation were investigated in detail. On the bubble aspect, the nucleation, growth and departure of vapor bubbles on a hydrophilic surface, a hydrophobic surface both with and without the influence of EW, were compared, which revealed the significant effect of the EW force on the contact line and, therefore, on the bubble dynamics.
Lastly, to demonstrate the EW enhancement of CHF, a synchronized high-speed optical imaging and infrared (IR) thermographic technique was used to characterize boiling
heat transfer at the CHF conditions. Simultaneous measurements of the bubble dynamics and the wall temperature and
heat flux distributions on the boiling surface were acquired. The results showed that CHF can be enhanced by 133% by the use of EW. Additionally, by considering the force balance at the contact line of a nucleate…

▼ Heavy water moderator surrounding each fuel channel is one of the
important safety features in CANDU reactors since it provides an
in-situ passive heat sink for the fuel in situations where other
engineered means of heat removal from fuel channels have failed.
In a critical break LOCA scenario, fuel cooling becomes severely
degraded due to rapid flow reduction in the affected flow pass of
the heat transport system. This can result in pressure tubes
experiencing significant heat-up during early stages of the
accident when coolant pressure is still high, thereby causing
uniform thermal creep strain (ballooning) of the pressure tube
(PT) into contact with its calandria tube (CT). The contact of the
hot PT with the CT causes rapid redistribution of stored heat from
the PT to CT and a large heat flux spike from the CT to the
moderator fluid. For conditions where subcooling of the moderator
fluid is low, this heat flux spike can cause dryout of the CT.
This can detrimentally affect channel integrity if the CT
post-dryout temperature becomes sufficiently high to result in
continued thermal creep strain deformation of both the PT and the
CT.
A comprehensive mechanistic model is developed to predict the
critical heat flux (CHF) variations along the downward facing
outer surface of calandria tube. The model is based on the
hydrodynamic model of which considers a
liquid macrolayer beneath an elongated vapor slug on the heated
surface. Local dryout is postulated to occur whenever the fresh
liquid supply to the macrolayer is not sufficient to compensate
for the liquid depletion within the macrolayer due to boiling on
the heating surface. A boundary layer analysis is performed,
treating the two phase motion as an external buoyancy driven flow,
to determine the liquid supply rate and the local CHF. The model
takes into account different types of flow regime or slip ratio.
It is applicable for a calandria vessel as well, under a sever
accident condition where a thermal creep failure is postulated to
occur if sustained CHF is instigated in the surrounding shield
tank water. Model shows good agreement with the available
experimental CHF data. The model has been modified to take into
account the effect of subcooling and has been validated against
the empirical correction factors.

▼ The advent of cloud computing and the complex packaging architecture of next generation electronic devices drives methods for advanced thermal management solutions. Convection based single-phase cooling systems are inefficient due to their large pressure drops, fluid temperature differences and costs, and are incapable of meeting the cooling requirements in the high power density components and systems. Alternatively, phase-change cooling techniques are attractive due to their ability to remove large amounts of
heat while maintaining uniform fluid temperatures. Pool boiling
heat transfer mechanism centers on the nucleation, growth and departure of a bubble from the
heat transfer surface in a stagnant pool of liquid. The pool boiling performance is quantified by the
Critical Heat Flux (CHF) and
Heat Transfer Coefficients (HTC) which dictate the operating ranges and efficiency of the
heat transfer process. In this work, three novel geometries are introduced to modify the nucleation characteristics, liquid pathways and contact line motion on the prime heater surface for a simultaneous increase in CHF and HTC.
First, sintered microchannels and nucleating region with feeder channels (NRFC) were developed through the mechanistic concept of separate liquid-vapor pathways and enhanced macroconvection
heat transfer. A maximum CHF of 420 W/cm2 at a wall superheat of 1.7 °C with a HTC of 2900 MW/m2°C was achieved with the sintered-channels configuration, while the NRFC reached a CHF of 394 W/cm2 with a HTC of 713 kW/m2°C. Second, the scale effect of liquid wettability, roughness and microlayer evaporation was exploited to facilitate capillary wicking in graphene through interlaced porous copper particles. A CHF of 220 W/cm2 with a HTC of 155 kW/m2°C was achieved using an electrodeposition coating technique. Third, the chemical heterogeneity on nanoscale coatings was shown to increase the contribution from transient conduction mechanisms. A maximum CHF of 226 W/cm2 with a HTC of 107 kW/m2°C was achieved. The enhancement techniques developed here provide a mechanistic tool at the microscale and nanoscale to increase the boiling CHF and HTC.

▼ Rapid advancement of electronics used in domestic, commercial and military applications has necessitated the development of thermal management solutions capable of dissipating large amounts of
heat in a reliable and efficient manner. Traditional methods of cooling, including air and liquid cooling, require large fluid flow rates and temperature differences to remove high
heat fluxes and are therefore unsuited for many advanced applications. Phase change
heat transfer, specifically boiling, is capable of dissipating large
heat fluxes with low temperature gradients and hence is an attractive technique for cooling high
heat flux applications. However, due to the complex interactions between the fluid dynamics,
heat transfer, and surface chemistry, the fundamental physics associated with boiling is not completely understood.
The focus of this work is to get a better understanding of the role played by a nucleating bubble in removing the
heat from the substrate. The interfacial forces acting on a bubble, contact line motion, and the thermal interaction with the heater surfaces are some of the important considerations which have not been well understood in literature. The work reported in this dissertation is divided into three parts. In the first part, an analytical study of the effect of evaporation momentum force on bubble growth rate and bubble trajectory was conducted. It was shown that the trajectory of a bubble can be controlled by creating an asymmetric temperature field. This understanding was used to develop a bubble diverter that increased the
Critical Heat Flux (CHF) over a horizontal tubular surface by 60% and improved the
heat transfer coefficient by 75%. In the second part of the work, additional contact line regions were generated using microgrooves. This enhancement technique increased the CHF with water by 46% over a plain copper surface to 187 W/cm2. Finally, the effect of the heater properties and surface fouling during boiling was evaluated. This included a study on the effect of thermophysical properties of the heater surface on CHF and an investigation of fouling over a heater surface during boiling of seawater.

▼ In this thesis, pool boiling heat transfer was
experimentally studied on structured surfaces with dielectric
liquids (HFE-7200, NOVEC-649, FC-72), organic liquids (Acetone,
Pentane) and deionized water.In the first step, nanoparticle
coatings on copper surfaces were prepared by an electrophoretic
deposition method, with Cu-Zn nanoparticles (100 nm) and Cu
nanoparticles (150 nm). Two types of nanoparticle-coating surfaces
were prepared, namely nanoparticle coatings uniformly deposited on
smooth surfaces and nanoparticle coatings partially deposited on
smoothsurfaces. Pool boiling of HFE-7200 and acetone was tested on
the coating surfaces. It is found that pool boiling heat transfer
coefficients are significantly enhanced by nanoparticle coatings.
However, the uniform coating cannot enhance the critical heat flux,
while the partially-deposited coating can enhance critical heat
flux. Mechanistic heat transfer models were developed to predict
the heat transfer coefficients, considering natural convection,
transient heat conduction, microlayer evaporation and micro
convection, while the critical heat flux was analyzed from the
point of wickability and hydrodynamic instability.In the following
step, microporous coatings on copper surfaces were generated by an
electrochemical deposition method, with electrolyte solutions
(CuSO4+H2SO4). Pool boiling of HFE-7200, NOVEC-649 and water was
tested. The results show that heat transfer coefficients and
critical heat flux are enhanced, and the heat transfer coefficients
are obviously dependent on deposition-relevant parameters, like
deposition time and electrolyte concentration. Heat transfer
coefficients were discussed mechanistically and empirically by a
mechanistic model and correlations, while the critical heat flux
was predicted by a modified force balance model which considers the
forces exerted on vapor and assumes occurrence of the critical heat
flux when the vapor expands on surfaces.Finally, hybrid micro/nano
structures were fabricated on copper surfaces by femtosecond laser
machining and electrophoretic deposition, and on silicon wafers by
dry etching and electrostatic deposition. Pool boiling of acetone
and FC-72 was investigated on the copper surfaces and the silicon
wafers, respectively. It is found that the hybrid structures induce
higher heat transfer coefficients than sole structures and
wickability plays an important role on enhancement of the critical
heat flux.

Influence of Liquid Height on Pool Boiling Heat Transfer.

▼ As technology advances due to continuous research, devices are becoming more compact, efficient, and powerful. Therefore,
heat rejection from such devices becomes ever so
critical to maximizing their potential. Compared to other
heat extraction methods, boiling provides one of the highest
heat transfer coefficients. The
heat extraction due to the boiling process is limited to the
Critical Heat Flux (CHF). At CHF, an insulating layer of escaping bubbles forms upon the surface to prevent boiling continuity. Subsequently, the surface temperature increases uncontrollably, leading to a system failure. Hence, the elevation of CHF is
critical to boiling enhancement. Improvements to the
heat transfer process can be made with either surface manipulation or liquid manipulation. Based on previous studies, it is found that the removal of bubbles from the heater surface is
critical to enhancing performance. Therefore, it is hypothesized that if a bubble can be encouraged to reach liquid-gas the interface quickly, gains in the boiling performance can be achieved. Due to the vapor bubble's movement in liquid bulk, it becomes
critical to understand the influence of liquid height on pool boiling for enhancement. While pool boiling enhancement using heating surface modification is extensively studied and documented, there is a research gap between understanding the effect of liquid height at high
heat fluxes. Thus, this study tries to evaluate the influence of liquid height on pool boiling performance at higher
heat fluxes and identify the underlying bubble movement mechanism. It is observed that as CHF increases with liquid height. Moreover, it is observed that bubble movement is more effortless at low liquid height resulting in higher HTC. On the other hand, larger liquid height provides improved rewetting of the surface resulting in higher CHF. Upon analysis of high-speed recording of the escaping bubbles, it was observed that the maximum
heat transfer coefficient is observed when the liquid height is about four times the height of the departing bubble diameter.

▼ Quenching experiments of a cylindrical rod were conducted in a distilled water pool in order to study the behavior of the
critical heat flux (CHF) and the minimum
heat flux (MHF). The effects of liquid subcooling, initial rod temperature, and surface condition on CHF and MHF were investigated during the quench process. The test specimen is a hollow stainless steel rod. The tip of the specimen is welded to prevent any water leakage inside the rod. The specimen has two thermocouples, one at the inner diameter and the other embedded in the wall. Both thermocouples are located at the same axial elevation. During the experiment, all thermocouple readings were taken by a data acquisition system. In addition, a video was recorded by a high-speed video camera for visualization of the boiling phenomenon. The surface
heat flux was calculated using a 1-D inverse
heat conduction code at each location.
It has been found that the MHF and CHF were significantly influenced by the degree of subcooling. However, the MHF and CHF values were almost independent of initial rod temperature and surface condition. The calculated surface
heat flux based on each thermocouple location was found to be consistent during the film boiling regime. The inconsistency in the evaluated surface
heat fluxes at both locations begins after the MHF point and reaches a maximum near the CHF. After the CHF point, the inconsistency decays dramatically. The inconsistency in CHF values could be related to the axial conduction effect due to the large temperature gradient above and below the quench front.

▼ Boiling has received considerable attention in the
technology advancement of electronics cooling for high-performance
computing applications. Two-phase cooling has an advantage over a
single-phase cooling in the high
heat removal rate with a small
thermal gradient due to the latent
heat of vaporization. Many
surface modifications have been done in the past including surface
roughness, mixed wettability and, porous wick copper play a crucial
role in the liquid-vapor phase change
heat transfer. However, the
mechanisms of high-pressure pool-boiling
heat transfer enhancement
due to surface modifications has not been well studied or
understood. The properties of water, such as the latent
heat of
vaporization, surface tension, the difference in specific volume of
liquid and vapor, decrease at high-pressure. High-pressure
pool-boiling
heat transfer enhancement is studied fundamentally on
various engineered surfaces. The boiling tests are performed at a
maximum pressure of 90 psig (620.5 kPa) and then compared to
results at 0 psig (0 kPa). The results indicate that the pressure
influences the boiling performance through changes in bubble
dynamics. The bubble departure diameter, bubble departure
frequency, and the active nucleation sites change with pressure.
The pool-boiling
heat transfer enhancement of a Teflon© coated
surface is also experimentally tested, using water as the working
fluid. The boiling results are compared with a plain surface at two
different pressures, 30 and 45 psig. The maximum
heat transfer
enhancement is found at the low
heat fluxes. At high
heat fluxes, a
negligible effect is observed in HTC. The primary reasons for the
HTC enhancement at low
heat fluxes are active nucleation sites at
low wall superheat and bubble departure size. The Teflon© coated
surface promotes nucleation because of the lower surface energy
requirement.
The boiling results are also obtained for wick
surfaces. The wick surfaces are fabricated using a sintering
process. The boiling results are compared with a plain surface. The
reasons for enhancements in the pool-boiling performance are
primarily due to increased bubble generation, higher bubble release
frequency, reduced thermal-hydraulic length modulation, and
enhanced thermal conductivity due to the sintered wick layer. The
analysis suggests that the Rayleigh-
critical wavelength decreases
by 4.67 % of varying pressure, which may cause the bubble pinning
between the gaps of sintered particles and avoids the bubble
coalescence. Changes in the pitch distance indicate that a
liquid-vapor phase separation happens at the solid/liquid
interface, which impacts the
heat-transfer performance
significantly.
Similarly, the role of the high-pressure over the
wicking layer is further analyzed and studied. It is found that the
critical flow length, λu reduces by three times with 200 μm
particles. The results suggest that the porous wick layer provides
a capillary-assist to liquid flow effect, and delays the surface
dry out. The surface modification and the pressure amplify the
boiling
heat…

▼ An experimental investigation of the physical feasibility of thermal creep failure of the Calandria Vessel under a severe accident load is presented in this thesis. Thermal creep failure is postulated to occur if film boiling is instigated in the Shield Tank Water surrounding the Calandria Vessel. The objective of this experimental study is to measure the Critical Heat Flux (CHF) for a representative geometry in environmental conditions similar to those existing in the CANDU Calandria Vessel and Shield Tank Water. Two geometries of downwards facing surfaces are studied. The first is termed the ‘confined’ study in which bubble motion is demarcated to the heated surface. The second is termed the ‘unconfined’ study where individual bubbles are free to move along the heated surface and vent in any direction. The method used in the confined study is novel and involves the placement of a lip surrounding the heated surface. The level of confinement is adjusted by varying the inclination angle. Data has been obtained for Bond Numbers (Bo) 0, 1.5, 3, 3.6 and 11.8 with corresponding qCHF 596, 495, 295, 223, and 187 kW/m2, respectively. A correlation relating the CHF to level of confinement is stated. The CHF results are in good agreement with Theofanous et. al. (1994), as is the observation that a transition angle is observed in the correlation. The transition angle in this study is found to be ~5.5°. The obtained nucleate boiling curves are compared to Su et. al. (2008) data for similar Bo and excellent agreement is achieved in the medium to high heat flux regions. The unconfined study consists of a downward facing plate in a pool of subcooled water. The obtained nucleate boiling curve is compared with the Stephan-Andelsalam correlation and agreement is not observed. There were visibly different trends in the convective heat transfer coefficient with a mean difference of 31%. The experimental data is compared to data obtained by Nishikawa et. al. (1984) and is found to be in acceptable agreement. The power requirement to instigate film boiling was not met, meaning that the CHF is greater than 1 MW/m2. Visual observations are made and an argument is based on the premise that the phenomenon of dryout for a downwards facing surface is similar to that of an upwards facing surface. The theory and current acceptance of CHF for an upwards facing surface is discussed—in particular Zuber’s “Hydrodynamic Limit” of 1.1 MW/m2, Dhir (1992) and recent experimental evidence from Theofanous et. al. (2002). These three studies were found to be in agreement with results presented here. The experimental evidence presented herein supports the statement that thermal creep failure of the Calandria Vessel is physically unreasonable under analyzed severe accident loads.

▼ This study aims to establish a spray cooling system with nanofluids and investigate its
heat transfer performance. In previous study of spray cooling, nozzle diameter (dj), volumetric flow rate(Q), distance(Z) between nozzle and test surface, and subcooling temperature(Tsub) and so on will influence
heat transfer performance. However, in our study, foucs on
heat transfer performance enhancement by nanofluids, so all of mentioned parameter above are constant, which dj is 270(μm), Q is 0.36(L/min), Z is 30(mm) and (Tsub) is 72(â). A brass block was used as the test surface in the experiment. This study then added different nanoparticles (silver, carbon nanotube, aluminum, titanium dioxide, silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, and ferric ferrous oxide) into the deionized water to produce the nanofluids. The nanofluids were later atomized with nozzle and sprayed on the test surface to improve the
heat dissipation capability of the spray cooling system. Using steady-state method and transient method in the experiment, this study observed the boiling phenomenon when spraying the deionized water and different nanofluids with different concentration on the test surface, and recorded the temperature variation on the test surface. The results were presented in the boiling curve graph and the cooling curve graph. The ultimate objective of this study is to compare the
heat dissipation performance of the nanofluids made of major nanoparticles available in the market with that of the deionized water and make an in-depth analysis, hoping the results can be applied to electronic component
heat sinks and to solve the problem of rapid increase of thermal power on the electronic componentsâ unit areas.

▼ "Pool boiling experiments have been conducted with self-rewetting fluids consisting of aqueous butanol and pentanol solution to study the boiling heat transfer enhancement at pressures of 1 ~ 4 bars. Although self-rewetting fluids have been used to enhance the performance of heat pipes, boiling heat transfer characteristics are yet to be fully understood especially at pressures above atmospheric. Pool boiling experiments with aqueous butanol and pentanol solutions were performed using an electrically heated platinum wire to obtain pool boiling heat transfer data up to the Critical Heat Flux (CHF). Aqueous solutions with butanol concentrations 2-7% showed enhanced heat transfer coefficients and CHF data at various pressure levels. Pentanol aqueous solutions were also tested on the heated wire to observe the consistency for reduce in size of the nucleated bubbles. In comparison to water, butanol aqueous solutions showed 20-270% higher values of CHF at pressures up to 4 bars. The bubble sizes were also observed to be significantly smaller in self-rewetting fluids compared to those in water at the same pressure. This observation was consistent even at higher pressures. However, for higher concentrations (i.e. butanol 5% and 7%), the CHF enhancement was diminished at higher pressures."

Predmet ovog rada je numerička simulacija i analiza
trodimenzionalnog dvofaznog strujanja i istraživanje mehanizama
krize ključanja u isparivačkim cevima. Kriza ključanja je
nepovoljna pojava. Nagli porast temperature zida cevi izaziva
termomehanička naprezanja, koja mogu dovesti do pojave prskotina i
pucanja cevi pod pritiskom. Razvijen je matematički model dvofaznog
strujanja u isparivačkoj cevi,koji se sastoji od jednačina održanja
mase, količine kretanja i energije za obe faze. Sastoji se od
sistema parcijalnih diferencijalnih jednačinakoje su rečavane za
definisane granične uslove.Bilo je neophodno uvesti i modeliranje i
numeričku simulaciju na mikro nivou, jer je bilo potrebno ispitati
i proces pojave i rasta mehura, kao i ponašanje dvofazne mešavine
na zagrejačkoj površini na makroskopskom nivou. Rezultati

▼ The
critical heat flux (CHF) marks the upper limit of safe operation of
heat transfer systems that utilize two-phase boiling
heat transfer. In a
heat-
flux-controlled system, exceeding the CHF results in rapid temperature excursions which can be catastrophic for system components. In nuclear power generation, the initiation of a CHF event may cause fuel damage through fuel melting or through zircaloy oxidation. CHF marks the upper limit for safe reactor operation in light-water reactor systems. The understanding of the physical triggering mechanisms for CHF and the accurate prediction of CHF values is important not only for safe reactor operation, but also for efficient plant design and effective fuel utilization. Gamma radiation present in commercial nuclear reactors may affect the surface wettability of fuel rods through the Radiation Induced Surface Activation (RISA) effect, and present power limits on nuclear reactors may be underestimated. Recent studies have focused on the influence of surface wettability on the departure from nucleate boiling (DNB) through surface modifications and coatings, though many of these studies are limited to pool boiling systems.
In this thesis, the surface wettability influence is studied on the boiling curves and specifically the point of DNB. A femtosecond laser is used to texture the surface to change the wettability from hydrophilic to hydrophobic. A parametric study is performed with mass
flux, pressure, and inlet subcooling in a vertical rectangular channel that is heated from one side. CHF excursions are triggered under various system conditions and are compared with existing models. For the experimental conditions considered, the hydrophobic surface showed delayed onset of nucleate boiling compared to the hydrophilic surface, shifting the boiling curves to higher wall superheat. The hydrophobic surface also showed significantly lower CHF for the same system conditions and less sensitivity to changes in subcooling. Few models accurately predicted the initiation of CHF, and a more conservative model is needed that more accurately incorporates the effect of surface wettability.

▼ This dissertation presents a study exploring the limits of phase-change heat transfer with the aim of enhancing critical heat flux (CHF) in pool boiling and enhancing thermal conductance in heat pipes. The state-of-the-art values of the CHF in pool boiling and the thermal conductance in heat pipes are about two orders of magnitudes smaller than the limits predicted by kinetic theory. Consequently, there seems to be plenty of room for improvement. Pool boiling refers to boiling at a surface immersed in an extensive motionless pool of liquid. Its process includes heterogeneous nucleation, growth, mergence and detachment of vapor bubbles on a heating surface. It is generally agreed that the high heat transfer coefficient of boiling could be explained by the concept of single-phase forced convection, i.e., the motion of bubbles agitating surrounding liquid is similar to the process in single-phase forced convection. The occurrence of CHF results from a formation of a vapor film on the heater surface, which reduces the thermal conductance drastically and causes a huge temperature rise on the surface. Over the past few decades, researchers were struggling to identify the exact mechanism causing CHF. General observations are that both surface properties and pool hydrodynamics could affect the values of CHF. Nanowire array-coated surfaces having a large capillary force are employed to enhance the CHF. It has been shown that CHFs on the nanowire array-coated surface could be doubled compared to the values on a plain surface. The obtained CHF of 224 ± 6.60 W/cm2 on the nanowire-array coated surface is one of the highest values reported in the boiling heat transfer. To further enhance CHF, the mechanisms that govern CHF have been systematically explored. Experimental results show that the CHF on the nanowire array-coated surface are not limited by the capillary force. Instead, the CHF are dependent on the heater size. Corresponding experiments on plain surfaces with various heater sizes also exhibits similar heater-size dependence. The CHFs on nanowire array-coated surfaces and plain surfaces are consistent with the predictions of the hydrodynamic theory while a higher CHF is obtained on the nanowire array-coated surface as compared to the plain Si surface. This suggests that the CHFs are a result of the pool hydrodynamics while surface properties modify the corresponding hydrodynamic limits. A heat pipe is a device that transports thermal energy in a very small temperature difference and thereby producing a very large thermal conductance. It relies on evaporation of liquid at the heated end of the pipe, flow of vapor between the heated and cooled end, condensation at the other end, and capillary-driven liquid flow through a porous wick between the condenser and the evaporation. The large latent heat involved in evaporation and condensation leads to very large heat flows for a small temperature drop along the heat pipe. Despite the large thermal conductance, their operation is limited by such factors as capillary…

▼ This research investigates the impact of Marangoni phenomena, with low mixture concentrations of alcohol and water, to enhance thermal transport capability of gravity-assisted heat pipes. The use of binary mixture working fluids in gravity-assisted heat pipes are shown to improve the critical heat flux (CHF) and operating performance, more so than with pure fluids. The CHF is responsible for dryout when the pumping rate of a liquid flow structure is not sufficient to provide enough fluid to the evaporator section. In the first study, heat pipe performance experiments were conducted for pure water and 2-propanol solutions with varying concentrations. Initial tests with pure water determined the optimal working fluid charge for the heat pipe; subsequent performance tests over a wide range of heat input levels were then conducted for each working fluid at this optimum value. The results indicated that some mixtures significantly enhance the heat transfer coefficient and heat flux capability of the heat pipe evaporator. For the best mixture tested, the maximum evaporator heat flux carried by the coolant without dryout was found to be 52% higher than the value for the same heat pipe using pure water as a coolant under comparable conditions. Peak evaporator heat flux values above 100 W/cm2 were achieved with some mixtures. Evaporator and condenser heat transfer coefficient data are presented and the trends are examined in the context of the expected effect of the Marangoni mechanisms on heat transfer. Analytical modeling effort was also conducted investigating the impact of Marangoni phenomena for low concentrations of 2-propanol/water and methanol/water mixtures. In real systems the addition of small levels of surface-active contaminants can affect the surface tension of the liquid-vapor interface and thermodynamic conditions in this region. Analysis was performed for three widely accepted binary mixture correlations to predict heat flux and superheat values for subatmospheric experimental data using bulk fluid and film thermodynamic properties. Due to the non-ideal nature of these alcohol/water mixtures, this study employs an average pseudo single-component (PSC) coefficient in place of an ideal heat transfer coefficient (HTC) to improve the correlation predictions. This investigation evaluates the ability for these correlations to predict strong Marangoni effects of mixtures that have large surface tension variation with concentration under subatmospheric conditions. It is not always clear that evaluation of bulk fluid properties will satisfactorily account for Marangoni effects. Analysis is also performed to assess correlation predictions for interfacial film properties rather than that of the bulk fluid. The results indicate that the use of film properties along with the PSC coefficient improves heat flux model predictions of subatmospheric experimental data by as much as 59.3% for 0.015M 2-propanol and 49.1% for 0.04M methanol/water mixtures, where strong Marangoni effects are believed to be more evident. …

▼ Pool boiling is a stable and efficient method for transferring large quantities of
heat. It is employed in a wide range of applications, including steam generation in boilers, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, cryogenic and many other industrial processes. The objective of this work was to investigate the augmentation in the boiling
heat transfer rates with an array of open microchannels over a cylindrical tube. In order to develop high performance surfaces, rectangular and V-groove cross-sectional geometry microchannels were fabricated and tested over tubular test sections. These microchannels were manufactured in two configurations: circumferentially around the test section and axially along the length. The effects of the microchannel geometric parameters on pool boiling performance were studied under horizontal and vertical orientations. Twenty uniquely modified microchannel surfaces were designed, fabricated and tested. The best performance was obtained with a circumferential rectangular microchannel test section in the horizontal orientation. A maximum
heat transfer coefficient of 129 kW/m2*K was achieved at a
heat flux of 1095 kW/m2, while maintaining a wall superheat of 8.5 K. The overall enhancement factors obtained at the maximum
heat flux condition, ranged between 1.9 and 3.4 in the horizontal orientation, and 2.1 and 3.1 in the vertical orientation. The
critical heat flux for almost all the designed test surfaces was increased by a factor of at least 1.6 over a plain tube. Area normalized results indicated that factors other than area enhancement are responsible for augmenting the
heat transfer performance. High-speed videography of bubbles nucleating, growing and departing from the heated surface was performed. The bubble behavior over these open microchannels was analyzed to understand the fundamental mechanism during pool boiling. The bubble interactions in and over the open microchannels, and the liquid rewetting phenomenon greatly influence the
heat transfer performance for these surface.

▼ In industry, boiling
heat transfer is extensively used to efficiently dissipate high
heat fluxes from heated substrates. Such industrial applications of boiling include cooling of reactor cores in nuclear power plants, steam generation in industrial boilers, and cooling of high
heat flux generating electronic equipment. The maximum
heat flux dissipated during boiling is limited by
critical heat flux (CHF). At CHF, due to very high bubble generation and coalescence rates, a stable insulating vapor film is formed on the heated surface that leads to very high surface temperatures in a short time. The sudden temperature overshoot causes thermal breakdown, and therefore CHF is disastrous in all industrial applications. Owing to limited visualization of the boiling surfaces and dependence on temperature monitoring only, boiling systems are run at relatively low
heat fluxes, ~50% of CHF limit due to safety considerations. The study presented here is focused on developing a method for identifying and analyzing acoustic signatures in the nucleate boiling regimes and using acoustic mapping as a monitoring tool to detect impending CHF. Initially, the sound waves generated through bubble coalescence and bubble collapse during boiling are captured for the plain copper chip. It is observed that the boiling sound is dominant in the frequency range of 400-500 Hz, while additional amplitude peaks in the frequency range of 100-200 Hz are also observed at higher
heat fluxes (>100 W/cm²). Further, it is observed that just before CHF, there is a sudden drop in amplitude in the frequency range of 400-500 Hz. A similar study was performed on two additional microporous surfaces and similar acoustic trends as that of the plain copper chip was observed for both the chips. Coupling these observations with high speed visualization, the study indicates that a continuous acoustic mapping during boiling can be used as a tool to predict the impending CHF in boiling systems.

▼ Miniaturization in microelectronics demands effective thermal management from high energy density devices. While current cooling solutions employ single-phase
heat transfer, they are often limited by high fluid temperature differences and pressure drops. Alternatively, two-phase cooling schemes offers attractive solutions to dissipate high
heat fluxes at small temperature differences. Specifically, pool boiling has the potential to dissipate high
heat fluxes without using pumps and other complex header configurations.
Two performance criterion that govern the
heat transfer in pool boiling systems are the (i)
Critical Heat Flux (CHF), and the (ii)
Heat Transfer Coefficient. The CHF is the upper limit in nucleate boiling, while the
Heat Transfer Coefficient dictates the efficiency of the process. The current thesis work relates to increasing the aforementioned parameters through copper porous coatings. In this work, copper substrates were coated with 3M copper powders using a drop coating and screen printing technique. Substrate bonding was achieved by sintering at elevated temperatures. The coated substrates were characterized using Scanning Electron Microscopy and Laser Confocal Microscopy which revealed the different geometrical parameters (pore sizes and coating thickness etc.) associated with the coatings. Pool boiling tests were conducted with distilled and degassed water at atmospheric pressure. A highest
Critical Heat Flux (CHF) of 303 W/cm2 was obtained on a test sample corresponding to a coating thickness of 447 µm. This translated to a CHF enhancement of ~135 % when compared to a plain copper surface. The effect of coating thickness on pool boiling performance was studied. High speed visualization was conducted on the test samples to identify underlying boiling mechanisms. The effect of additional nucleation sites, and wickability were evaluated in this study. The experimental observations were supplemented with analytical equations available in literature to identify driving mechanisms with the thin and thick porous coatings.

▼ Pool boiling phenomena on different types of heater configurations have been explored in the
heat transfer literature. Pool boiling experiments on heaters with nanostructured surfaces have gained popularity in contemporary literature for microchip cooling application. The thermal management challenges for cooling of electronic chips have become more acute with decrease in the size for these microchips with concomitant increase in device density and
heat flux. Pool boiling is expected to provide appropriate technology solutions to meet these challenges for high
heat flux cooling at low temperature differentials.
In this study, results obtained from pool boiling experiments were analyzed. The experiments were performed using heaters with plain surfaces (copper and silicon) and nanostructured surfaces (Anodic Aluminum Oxide/AAO). In these experiments, high speed digital image acquisition apparatus was used to record bubble dynamics (nucleation, growth and departure) for both nucleate and film boiling regimes. The videos were used to obtain the bubble diameter at departure, bubble growth rates (bubble height as a function of time) and bubble departure frequency. The objective of these experiments was to explore the change in bubble dynamics for different heater configurations in order to ascertain their role in the observed changes in the values of pool boiling
heat flux as a function of wall superheat (i.e., from the boiling curves obtained in these experiments). These experiments were performed for saturated boiling conditions as well as for liquid subcooling of 5 °C and 10 °C. The test fluid was PF-5060 (Manufacturer: 3M Corp.). The experimental apparatus utilized in this study consisted of a visualization chamber, cartridge heaters, power supply, high speed digital data acquisition system and chiller unit. Temperature nanosensors (Thin Film Thermocouples/ TFT) as well as wire bead thermocouples were used for measurement of wall superheat. Micro/ nano-fabrication techniques were utilized in this study for realizing the test surfaces integrated with temperature nanosensors.
The data gleaned from these experiments were compiled to obtain a correlation for the optimal
heat transfer for different heater surface configurations. Literature review was also performed in this study to compare the experimental results with correlations for bubble dynamics available in the literature. The experimental results for bubble dynamics show that while silicon and copper surfaces have similar values for bubble departure diameter, the variability in the bubble departure frequency values for copper heater experiments were larger than that of silicon heaters. This trend is potentially due to large variation in surface roughness on copper heaters compared to that of silicon wafers (which are single crystal silicon substrates and therefore are atomically smooth at the commencement of the experiments). Heaters with nanostructured surfaces (e.g., for AAO heaters) were observed to yield smaller bubble departure diameters and higher bubble…

▼ Bubble nucleation at subcooled flow boiling condition in a horizontal annular channel with a square cross section by the use of high-speed camera is investigated. The channel represents a scaled-down version of a single rod of CANDU reactor core. The experiments were performed by the use of water at pressures between 1-3 atm, constant heat flux of 0.124 MW/m2, liquid bulk subcooling of 32-1 °C and mean flow velocities of 0.3-0.4 m/s. Bubble lift-off diameters were obtained from direct high speed videography. The developed model for the bubble lift-off diameter was obtained by analyzing the forces acting on a bubble. Furthermore, a model for the bubble growth rate constant was suggested. The proposed model was then compared to experimental data and it has shown a good agreement with the experimental data. Additionally, the effects of liquid bulk subcooling, liquid pressure and mean flow velocity on bubble lift-off diameter were investigated.

▼ The effect of pressure transients on the onset of intermittent dryout in upward annular flow was experimentally investigated in order to resolve the conflict between the observations drawn from two major data sets in the literature. A delay in time to the onset of dryout at the test section exit relative to the time predicted based on steady-state data was observed in the R-12 experiments of Celata et al (1988; 1991). Steady-state prediction methods were sufficient to predict the upstream progression of a pre-existing dryout front in the water experiments of Lyons and Swinnerton (1983). Steady state and pressure transient dryout experiments were performed using water with outlet pressures of 2 to 6 MPa and mass fluxes of 1000 to 2500 kg/m2/s in an electrically heated 1.32 m long 4.6 mm ID vertical Inconel 600 tube with depressurisation rates of up to 1.0 MPa/s. Transient experiments were performed with a small margin to dryout and with post-dryout initial conditions in order to test the hypothesis that these initial conditions influenced the onset of dryout during transients. The results of a comparison between the steady dryout data and two dryout prediction methods – the Biasi et al (1967) correlation and the 2006 CHF look-up table (Groeneveld et al, 2007) – were used to develop correction factor correlations to reduce systematic error when these methods were used to predict the transient time to dryout. These modified methods yielded mean predicted dryout delays of -0.1 and 1.5 s respectively with standard deviations of approximately 3 s. There was no statistically significant variation between the pre- and post-dryout initial conditions. Based on this result it was concluded that the initial conditions did not affect the observed time to dryout. The mean wall temperature exhibited a discontinuous decrease as the heat flux approached 92 to 95% of the dryout value. It was postulated that this was caused by a heat transfer regime change from liquid film evaporation to droplet evaporation based on the observations of Hewitt (1970), Doroschuk et al (1970) and Groeneveld (2011). For the range of conditions of the present work the onset of intermittent dryout (Groeneveld, 1986) was caused by deterioration of droplet evaporation heat transfer. Celata et al (1988) noted that in their pressure transient experiments the decrease in saturation temperature drove a rapid increase in the heat flux to the fluid. This was caused by the release of stored thermal energy as the test section wall cooled. Celata et al (1991) stated that the systematic dryout delay was observed for depressurisation rates greater than 0.2 MPa/s. Using Celata et al's (1988) pressure transient data it was concluded that the stored thermal energy transient did not influence the onset of intermittent dryout when rho_w c_pw L_w *(dT_sat/dt)<0.3*q''_a.

Development of a Correlation for Nucleate Boiling Heat Flux on a Hemispherical Downward Facing Surface.

▼ A new physics-based
heat transfer correlation has been developed that can be used to predict the local variation of the nucleate boiling
heat flux on a downward facing heating surface. It is widely known that the
heat transfer mechanism of nucleate boiling involves the growth and departure of vapor bubbles on a heated surface. When the vapor bubbles have grown to their mature size, they depart from the heating surface, agitating the surrounding fluid. This bubble agitation results in strong turbulent mixing of the fluid. For the case of an upward facing surface, the nucleate boiling
heat flux has been determined using the single-phase turbulent
heat transfer correlation. The correlation relates the Nusselt number to the Reynolds number and Prandtl number. Through the use of proper velocity and length scales, Rohsenow (1952) developed a correlation to predict the nucleate boiling
heat flux on an upward facing surface. The resulting correlation relates the nucleate boiling
heat flux to the wall superheat and fluid properties and a correlation coefficient.
For the case of downward facing boiling on a hemispherical surface, however, the Rohsenow correlation cannot be applied. Due to the surface orientation, buoyancy effects have a significant impact on the behavior of the flow and
heat transfer. The heating surface causes the fluid in close proximity to increase in temperature, lowering the density of the fluid. When the liquid begins to vaporize, the density of the resulting vapor is several orders of magnitude less than the surrounding liquid, resulting in strong buoyancy forces that entrain the liquid upward. The downward facing surface hinders this upward motion of vapor bubbles, causing them to have to take an alternative upward route. If the surface is inclined, the bubbles will flow along the heating surface which develops into a two-phase boundary layer flow. When the surface is completely horizontally downward facing, the bubbles cannot flow along the surface, forming a vapor blanket from which bubbles shear off.
The Rohsenow correlation relates the nucleate boiling
heat flux to only wall superheat and fluid properties. Local variation does not appear in the correlation because the nucleate boiling
heat flux conditions are equivalent at all locations of an upward facing surface. On a downward facing hemispherical surface, however, local variation plays a significant role in the nucleate boiling
heat flux. At the bottom of the hemispherical surface, the buoyancy force presses the vapor bubbles against the surface. As the local coordinate along the surface is increased, the buoyancy forces have an increasing impact on the flow characteristics and, thus, the
heat flux.
The present study has successfully captured the local buoyancy effects and local variation of the nucleate boiling
heat flux on a downward facing surface. The correlation predicts the nucleate boiling
heat flux based on the wall superheat, fluid properties, and, most importantly, local variation along the heating surface. Similar…

▼ The aim of this study is to design and build a miniature spray cooling system, in which the manufactured and adopted chamber, pump and
heat exchanger are smaller than the conventional ones. An experiment was conducted to explore the cooling performance of the spray cooling system after its size has been minimized. In the experiment, copper was used to make the heated surface and different working media, such as DI water, as nanofludics with silver and multi-walled carbon nanotubes
powder were sprayed on the heated surface to enhance the
heat dissipation efficiency of the system. The experiment in this study was set according to two conditions: transient and steady state, with Weber number as the main parameter, to observe the boiling phenomenon of different working media on heated surface and to record the temperature changes of the heated surface. The results were shown in boiling curve and cooling curve. The ultimate goal of this study was to obtain a better understanding of the cooling performance of the miniature spray cooling system in order to apply it to micro-electronic cooling devices, thereby solving the problem of the sharp increase in heating power per unit area on electronic components.

▼ Since the 2011 accident at the Daiichi nuclear power plant in Fukushima, Japan, there has been a worldwide effort to develop so-called accident tolerant fuel (ATF) technologies to enhance safety during design basis and beyond design basis accidents. Part of the ATF development effort involves replacing much of the zirconium-based materials in light water reactors (LWRs). This is due to the accelerated oxidation rate of zirconium at high temperatures potentially experienced during severe accidents, which led to the build-up of hydrogen gas and eventual explosions that occurred at the Daiichi nuclear power plant. To be considered as a possible alternative to zirconium, an ATF candidate material must not only have greater oxidation resistance but must also have equal or better performance than zirconium in reactor operations and safety. Two candidate materials that may meet these requirements are iron-chromium-aluminum (FeCrAl) alloys and silicon carbide fiber-reinforced, silicon carbide matrix composites (SiC/SiC).
Two studies on ATF concepts are presented in this thesis, which focus on using computer simulations to evaluate the use of FeCrAl as the fuel rod cladding material in a pressurized water reactor (PWR) and the use of SiC/SiC as the fuel assembly channel box material in a boiling water reactor (BWR). Both of these studies are performed using computer modeling, which is one of the first steps for evaluating new design concepts and eventually integrating them into existing reactors. Developing tools that can accurately predict the performance of nuclear reactors with high fidelity is the goal of the Consortium for Advanced Simulation of Light Water Reactors (CASL). Also included in this thesis is a preliminary demonstration of neutronic-to-thermal-hydraulic coupled BWR simulations performed using the CASL tools MPACT and CTF.
In the first study, a model of a PWR fuel assembly was created to predict the
critical heat flux (CHF) of FeCrAl fuel rod cladding during an imposed 50% overpower condition, which may be representative of an accident condition. CHF is a
critical parameter to evaluate for ATF candidate materials because reaching CHF in a fuel rod can cause a rapid increase in temperature in the reactor that may lead to bursting of the cladding and a loss of ability to cool the core. Current correlations used for predicting flow boiling CHF in reactors are not dependent on material or surface characteristics, but this study showed that preliminary pool boiling results could be used to modify existing CHF correlations to make them more applicable to a given material, such as FeCrAl. Preliminary transient flow boiling experiments are also analyzed in this thesis for Inconel 600 and Stainless Steel 316, which pave the way for future flow boiling experiments using FeCrAl.
In the second study, BWR fuel assembly models were created with a SiC/SiC channel box to predict a spatial temperature and fast neutron
flux distribution in the channel box. The temperature and fast
flux distributions were then used as…

▼ The purposes of this paper are to present the results of an experimental effort to measure the level swell in an air/water system and to generate a methodology for determining the volume-averaged void fraction within the Oregon State University (OSU) Advanced Plant Experiment (APEX) Test Facility. The results were then compared with existing void fraction correlations for assessment. The air/water system consisted of a vertical, cylindrical, transparent test section having an inner diameter of
15.2 cm. It includes a lower plenum-mixing chamber with separate air and water inlets. The parameters measured included air flow rate, collapsed liquid level, level swell and local void fraction. The collapsed liquid level was measured using a differential pressure cell. The fluid mixture level was measured using a fixed scale for visual indication and a state-of-the-art capacitance probe, the Drexelbrook Level Transmitter™. The data obtained using the advanced instrumentation showed good agreement with visual observations and the Kataoka and Ishii (Ref.(5)) pool boiling correlation for level swell. For the OSU APEX Test Facility, two Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) sponsored tests were selected for assessment. Void fractions were measured from the
instrumentation data and compared with the predicted void fractions from both the Kataoka and Ishii (Ref.(5)) and Chexal and Lellouche (Ref.(2)) correlations. The comparisons were within the accuracy range and matched the experimental trends well. To benchmark the methodology process against higher-pressure data, a test series from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) Thermal Hydraulic Test Facility (THTF) was evaluated using the same methodology. Results were in excellent agreement with their previously published data.

▼ This thesis investigates pool boiling
heat transfer from bare and graphene-coated NiCr wires in a saturated liquid of FC 770, a fluorocarbon fluid. Of particular interest was the effect of graphene-oxide platelets, dip-coated onto the heater surface, in enhancing the nucleate boiling
heat transfer (BHT) rates and the
critical heat flux (CHF) value. In the course of the pool boiling experiment, the primary focus was on the reduction mechanism of graphene oxide. The transition from hydrophilic to hydrophobic behavior of the graphene oxide-coated surface was captured, and the attendant effects on surface wettability, porosity and thermal activity were observed. A parametric sensitivity analysis of these surface factors was performed to understand the CHF and BHT enhancement mechanisms.
In the presence of graphene-oxide coating, the data indicated an increase of 50% in CHF. As the experiment continued, a partial reduction of graphene oxide occurred, accompanied by (a) further enhancement in the CHF to 77% larger compared to the bare wire. It was shown that the reduction of graphene oxide progressively altered the porosity and thermal conductivity of the coating layer without changing the wettability of FC 770. Further enhancement in CHF was explained in terms of improved porosity and thermal activity that resulted from the partial reduction of graphene-oxide. An implication of these results is that a graphene-oxide coating is potentially a viable option for thermal management of high-power electronics by immersion cooling technology.

▼ Ignition and extinction characteristics of a
material determine whether a fire will be initiated and grow. In
fire safety engineering, where modellers deal with a multitude of
materials, simplified thresholds are commonly used to determine
when ignition and extinction occur.Such a threshold is the critical
mass flux, which describes when sufficient fuel vapour is produced
to support sustained flaming.A related criterion is the critical
heat release rate.This thesis is an investigation of how these two
thresholds are correlated to environmental and fuel specific
properties. This assessment is accomplished with small-scale
experiments and stagnant layer theory. Experimental equipment were
fine tuned to enable quantification of each investigated influence
on the threshold criteria. A cone calorimeter sample set-up was
modified so that the sample material could be exposed to a more
uniform heat flux and the influence of external heating on the
critical mass flux could be better quantified. Porous gas burners
have been used previously to emulate burning of condensed fuels. In
this thesis, such burners were used so that mass transport at the
limiting points could be held at a constant rate. A set of burners
with different diameters were used to provide insight on the
influence of the convective heat transfer coefficient on the
critical mass flux. Both the cone calorimeter test results and the
gas burner results yielded information about the chemical heat of
combustion of the fuels. It is shown that the critical mass flux,
but not the critical heat release rate, is a function of the
chemical heat of combustion. The thresholds are also dependent on
the sample size, which is seen in the correlation for the
convective heat transfer coefficient. Although the external heat
flux influences the mass loss rate history it does not
significantly change the amount of pyrolysates needed for sustained
flaming. The findings are summarized in an engineering correlation
that can be used to find approximate values for fire
modelling.

▼ Among the thermal management solutions for power electronics, two-phase jet or spray impingement cooling are two promising candidates. In this study, electrohydrodynamic atomization (EHDA) method is used to generate spray and jet from the same capillary. This approach enables us to compare the
heat transfer coefficient and
critical heat flux (CHF) in consistent conditions. Two nondimensional parameters are first developed to lay out the various EHDA modes of ethanol. The experimental results show that the EHDA cooling could enhance the
heat transfer coefficient in most conditions, while it could not benefit CHF because the electric repulsive force causes a wide spray angle and less impinging mass
flux on the surface. Single and multi micro jet impingement cooling (MJIC) are investigated. Based on the experimental observation and analytical works, a semi-theoretical CHF correlation is proposed based on force and energy balance. The experimental data of water and ethanol are predicted very well by the new model. It also shows the potential to explain the unique feature on the CHF curves of saturated HFE7000 and subcooled ethanol. By using multi MJIC,
heat transfer coefficient and CHF might be improved, which mainly depend on fluids and testing conditions.
