Review on Natural And Synthetic Surfactant for Pool Boiling

Abstract

Boiling is an efficient mode of heat transfer and having numerous applications in distillation, desalination, chemical process, refrigeration system. Due to energy problem, boiling heat transfer may be enhanced by active and passive techniques. Passive methods of heat transfer enhancement need no external power for heat transfer enhancement. One of the passive techniques is use of additives in order to enhance the heat transfer. The use of surfactant is simple and cost effective.
