	%X In this study, the effect of nanofluids on the pool film
boiling was experimentally investigated at saturated condition under
atmospheric pressure. For this purpose, four different water-based
nanofluids (Al2O3, SiO2, TiO2 and CuO) with 0.1% particle volume
fraction were prepared. To investigate the boiling heat transfer, a
cylindrical rod with high temperature was used. The rod heated up to
high temperatures was immersed into nanofluids. The center
temperature of rod during the cooling process was recorded by using
a K-type thermocouple. The quenching curves showed that the pool
boiling heat transfer was strongly dependent on the nanoparticle
materials. During the repetitive quenching tests, the cooling time
decreased and thus, the film boiling vanished. Consequently, the
primary reason of this was the change of the surface characteristics
due to the nanoparticles deposition on the rod-s surface.
