Mixture Boiling

This chapter provides the engineer and the researcher with correlations and models for the prediction of the critical aspects of the boiling heat transfer of mixtures. This chapter offers a reliable, hands-on resource for solving common problems across pool boiling and flow boiling applications such as miscible mixtures, refrigerant/lubricant mixtures, additives, and refrigerant/nanolubricants. Fundamental heat transfer and thermodynamic principles are succinctly provided to accompany the correlations and models. This chapter was written with the busy engineer in mind by providing simple but accurate prediction methods, and guidance where neither correlations nor models exist.
