Experimental study of nucleate and convective flow boiling in a large diameter horizontal tube

World energy use has risen more than ever in the last decades. Increasing concerns over the world’s energy shortage leads researchers to investigate sustainable sources of energy such as wind, wave, tidal power, biomass, solar, geothermal and waste heat recovery. Industry aims at reducing its energy cost and the European Union puts a strong focus on waste heat recovery. Studies show that low grade waste heat (
