The vertical heating tube was inserted in porous matrix composed of five well sorted glass beads whose diameters range from 0.5 to 4.3 mm. Due to the effect of composition, the trend of combination of vapor bubbles was reduced, resulting in the increase of peak heat flux of binary mixture. With the increase of ethanol mole fraction, 0.5 mm diameter bead had lower value of peak heat flux, while for pure liquid the critical state is difficult to appear. With given diameter of glass bead, there existed an optimum value of mole fraction of ethanol, which was decreased with the increase of bead diameter.
