Abstract: An experimental study has been carried out to investigate systematically the effects of
acoustic cavitation parameters and fluid subcooling on boiling of acetone around a
horizontal circular tube. The experimentalresults show that acoustic cavitation enhanced
remarkably the boiling heat transfer and decreased the incipientboiling superheat and that
cavitation bubbles effect on boiling heat transfer reduced with cavitation distance.
Forboiling curves in a form of h-q″, elevated cavitation distance shift nucleate boiling
curves to the right of the corresponding ordinary pool boiling curve. The associated
mechanism of heat transfer enhancement is analyzed withthe consideration of cavitation
bubble influence on vapor embryo.

Key words: acoustic cavitation, boiling heat transfer, hysteresis
