Abstract: One of the effective methods for transferring thermal energy with large heat flux is liquid-vapour phase change process is called boiling. The aim of this research is to enhance nucleate pool boiling heat transfer by delaying critical heat flux (CHF). For this we have used Al2O3 and CuO (average size less than 100nm) nanofluid to study the effect on pool boiling heat transfer and its effect on critical heat flux enhancement using horizontal test wires of Ni-Cr immersed in nanofluid with different volume concentration. The result shows the evidence of enhancement of critical heat flux to a significant level.
