In nucleate pool boiling of nanofluid, a nanoparticle layer is formed on the heat transfer surface. Since the nanoparticle layer adheres to the heat transfer surface, the material of the heat transfer surface may have an effect on it the nanofluid pool boiling heat transfer. In this study, the effect of the boiling heat transfer surface material on the nanofluid boiling heat transfer was examined.
