Numerical simulation on single bubble behavior during Al2O3/H2On nanofluids flow boiling using Moving Particle Simi-implicit method

摘要

In this study, regression analysis on the thermal properties of Al2O3/H2O nanofluids was made firstly. The growth and departure of a single bubble behavior in Al2O3/H2O nanofluid and pure water flow boiling process were then numerically simulated by an improved Moving Particle Semi-implicit method in different flow boiling conditions. The results indicate that the bubble in Al2O3/H2O nanofluids grows faster and the bubble departure frequency of Al2O3/H2O nanofluids is greater than that in pure w
