Abstract
The objectiveof the present study is to understand pool boiling heat transfer of Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) heater and critical heat flux (CHF) enhancementof graphene films laid on ITO heater surface.Plate pool boiling experiments were carried out for ITO and graphene heater using FC-72 with Infrared (IR) thermometry. The temperature fields of heater surface, bubbledeparture diameter, and CHF were studied comparing with ITO and graphene heater. Results show that graphene films laid on ITO heater surface showed that enhanced CHF limitsup to 20 % compared with ITO heater.
