In this study, variations of local heat transfer coefficient are obtained in subcooled flow boiling conditions for water/TiO₂ nanofluid in a vertical and horizontal tube. The results for the base fluid are compared with the predictions of the well known Shah correlation and Gnielinski formula for laminar and turbulent flows for single-phase forced convection and also with Chen correlation for subcooled flow boiling. A good agreement between the results is realized. At the subcooled regime, heat transfer coefficient of nanofluid is less than that of the base fluid and it decreases by increasing nanoparticle concentration for both of the channels; however, addition of the nanopraticles into the fluid causes that the vapor volume fraction increases.
