Heat Transfer in Nucleate Boiling : II. New Correlating Equation

Heat transfer in nucleate pool boiling of multicomponent mixtures

Steady state pool boiling heat transfer coefficients have been obtained experimentally for acetone–isopropanol–water and acetone–MEK (methyl ethyl ketone)–water ternary systems. The data show that, for a given heat flux, the heat transfer coefficients of mixtures are lower than those obtained for pure components constituting the mixture. The measured heat transfer coefficients were compared wit...

Experimental Study for Investigating the Mechanism of Heat Transfer near the Critical Heat Flux in Nucleate Pool Boiling

Heat transfer coefficient in nucleate pool boiling near critical heat flux at least one orderhigher than the convectional heat transfer modes. In this paper, an experimental setup isdesigned and fabricated to investigate the mechanism of heat transfer from boiling surface tobulk liquid near critical heat flux. The images of pool boiling near the high heat flux regionreveals that the individual ...

Evaluation of Heat Transfer Shear of Different Mechanisms in Subcooled Nucleate Boiling

Since the mean characteristic of nucleate boiling is bubble formation and collapse near the heating surface, in this study attempts have been made to investigate heat transfer effects due to the bubbles ebullition and collapse cycle. All possible heat transfer mechanisms are studied qualitatively and quantitatively. For quantitative calculation of the heat transfer portion by each of the introd...

The Influence of Surface Roughness on Nucleate Pool Boiling Heat Transfer

Mechanistic Prediction of Nucleate Boiling Heat Transfer–Achievable or a Hopeless Task?

Over the last half of the twentieth century, a number of purely empirical and mechanismbased correlations have been developed for pool nucleate boiling. Empirical correlations differ from each other substantially with respect to the functional dependence of heat flux on fluid and surface properties, including gravity. The mechanism-based correlations require knowledge of the number density of a...
