Pool boiling heat transfer as a promising heat transfer mechanism that can provide ample heat dissipation for thermal management applications has been granted much attention. This study puts forward the idea of applying an Inner Corrugated Hollow Conical Frustum (ICHCF) to ameliorate pool boiling heat transfer. The performance of the ICHCF is experimentally investigated for both the stationary and rotating cases. Furthermore, the effect of various geometrical parameters such as the ICHCF height, thread depth, thread pitch, the gap between the ICHCF and boiling surface, and the rotational speed of the ICHCF are studied. Twelve different ICHCFs were fabricated and tested for the purpose of...
