A HYDRODYNAMIC MODEL FOR NUCLEATE POOL BOILING

Journal Article · · Intern. J. Heat and Mass Transfer
A hydrodynamic model of stagnation flow is proposed for saturated nucleate boiling over a flat surface, Using analytical results from axisymmetrical stagnation flow, a relation between the heat-transfer coefficient and the thermal boundary-layer thickness induced by rising bubbles is obtained, and agreement with measured results in the low heat-flux region is indicated. The predicted heat-transfer result is given, and found to be in agreement with boiling data of most liquids. (auth)
