A circular copper plate tested with pure water and nanofluids for nucleate pool boiling. On average, 15% TiO2 and 12% TiO2 nanofluids showed 2.22 and 1.89 heat flux enhancements. 15% TiO2 nanofluid gave 13% higher heat flux compared with heat flux of 12% TiO2 nanofluid. On average, 15% TiO2 and 12% TiO2 nanofluids showed about 1.38 and 1.24 enhancements in HTC. 15% TiO2 nanofluid, on average, showed 11% higher HTC compared with 12% TiO2 nanofluid.
