In the paper it is shown that superposition of the forced convective and fully developed boiling heat flux components can predict the heat transfer in the partial boiling region only the components should be multiplied by a ''relaxation function'' ensuring transition at the boundaries. To be able to determine the ''relaxation function'' the points where nucleate and fully developed boiling commence should be known. The Hsu concept is applied to the determination of the onset of nucleate boiling while development of the concept is used for the prediction of the onset of fully developed boiling. Comparison with experimental results taken from the literature is shown and the satisfactory agreement between measurements and calculations demonstrates the applicability of the procedure presented.
