This draft explores an experimental investigation into improving pool boiling heat transfer through the use of eco-friendly hybrid nanofluids. The proposed eco-friendly hybrid nanofluids have been prepared using Rhamnolipid surfactant particles, Magnesium Oxide (MgO), and water. Four samples of hybrid nanofluids have been prepared by keeping Rhamnolipid surfactant at the critical micelles concentration and by varying the MgO concentrations as 0.5g/l, 0.05g/l, 0.005g/l, and 0.0005 g/l in deionized water. The detailed characterization and stability analysis of the hybrid nanofluids were performed. Roughness and wettability of fresh and post-boiling surfaces have been analyzed to check their influence on the heat transfer process. The hybrid nanofluid has a thermal conductivity of 4-9 % greater than DI water, where its surface tensions are 43 % - 53 % lower than those of pure DI water. The investigations were carried out on a smooth copper surface and at atmospheric conditions. The developed hybrid nanofluid enhances both the heat transfer rate and the critical heat flux (CHF) compared to pure water. The heat transfer coefficient (HTC) is observed to increase by 1.16 to 1.79 times, and the CHF is increased by 1.41 to 1.61 times. The result for improved heat transfer in eco-hybrid nanofluids is due to the decrease in surface tension, which has initiated more nucleation sites than pure water, increase in porosity and surface roughness due to the deposition of nanoparticles and surfactant monomers, improved surface wettability, and better rewetting phenomena.
