Experimental data of pool film boiling heat transfer from horizontal cylinders in various liquids such as water, ethanol, isopropanol, Freon-113, Freon-11, liquid nitrogen, and liquid argon for wide ranges of system pressure, liquid subcooling, surface superheat and cylinder diameter are reported. These experimental data are compared with a rigorous numerical solution and an approximate analytical solution derived from a theoretical model based on laminar boundary layer theory for pool film boiling heat transfer from horizontal cylinders including the effects of liquid subcooling and radiation from the cylinder. A new correlation was developed by slightly modifying the approximate analytical solution to agree better with the experimental data. The values calculated from the correlation agree with the authors’ data within ± 10 percent, and also with other researchers’ data for various liquids including those with large radiation effects, though these other data were obtained mainly under saturated conditions at atmospheric pressure.

A rigorous numerical solution of a theoretical model based on laminar boundary layer theory for pool film boiling heat transfer from a horizontal cylinder including the contributions of liquid subcooling and radiation from the cylinder was obtained. The numerical solution predicted accurately the experimental results of pool film boiling heat transfer from a horizontal cylinder in water with high radiation emissivity for a wide range of liquid subcooling in the range of nondimensional cylinder diameters around 1.3, where the numerical solution was applicable to the pool film boiling heat transfer from a cylinder with negligible radiation emissivity. An approximate analytical solution for the theoretical model was also derived. It was given by the sum of the pool film boiling heat transfer coefficient if there were no radiation and the radiation heat transfer coefficient for parallel plates multiplied by a nondimensional radiation parameter similar to the expression for saturated pool film boiling given by Bromley. The approximate analytical solution agreed well with the rigorous numerical solution for various liquids of widely different physical properties under wide ranges of conditions.

Forced convection film boiling heat transfer on a horizontal cylinder in saturated water and Freon-113 flowing upward perpendicular to the cylinder was measured for the flow velocities ranging from zero to 1 m/s at the system pressures ranging from 100 to 500 kPa: the platinum cylinders with the diameters ranging from 0.7 to 5 mm were used as the test cylinder heaters. The existing correlation for forced convection film boiling heat transfer given by Bromley et al. could not well describe the experimental data obtained, especially those for the higher pressures. The forced convection film boiling heat transfer correlation including the radiation contribution from the cylinders with various diameters for saturation conditions was developed based on forced convection two-phase laminar boundary layer film boiling model and the experimental data obtained. The experimental data agreed with the corresponding values derived from the correlation within ±15% for the flow velocities below 0.7 m/s, and within −30% to +15% for higher flow velocities. It was confirmed that the experimental data obtained by Bromley et al. for the horizontal carbon cylinders with the diameters ranging from 9.83 to 16.2 mm and with the significant radiation effect from the cylinder surfaces in various liquids for the various flow velocities up to 4.4 m/s at an atmospheric pressure agreed with the corresponding values derived from the new correlation within ±20%.

Forced convection film boiling heat transfer from a horizontal cylinder in water and Freon-113 flowing upward perpendicular to the cylinder under subcooled conditions was measured for the flow velocities from 0 to 1 m/s at the system pressures ranging from 100 to 500 kPa: the platinum horizontal cylinders with diameters ranging from 0.7 to 5 mm were used as the test heaters. The film boiling heat transfer coefficients were obtained for the surface superheats from about 800 K for water and from about 400 K for Freon-113 down to minimum film boiling surface superheats. These heat transfer coefficients increase with the increase in flow velocity, liquid subcooling, system pressure, and with the decrease in cylinder diameter. A correlation for subcooled forced convection film boiling heat transfer was presented, which can describe the experimental data obtained within ±20% for the flow velocities below 0.7 m/s, and within −30% to +20% for the higher flow velocities. The correlation also predicted well the data by Shigechi (1983), Motte and Bromley (1957), and Sankaran and Witte (1990) obtained for the larger diameter cylinders and higher flow velocities in various liquids at the pressures of near atmospheric. The Shigechi’s data were in the range from about −20% to +15%, the data of Motte and Bromley were about ±30%, and the data of Sankaran and Witte were within +20% of the curves given by the corresponding predicted values.

Abstract This is the first part of a two-paper series that reports the design, experimentation, and results of a spray quenching experiment of a circular metal disk in terrestrial gravity conditions. The objective of this experiment is to provide experimental data and corresponding analysis on the heat transfer characteristics and chilldown performance of the cryogenic spray quenching process. In this paper, the presented continuous-flow spray quenching results include the spray-cone angle visualization, spray cooling heat transfer characteristics represented by chilldown curves and boiling curves, gravity effects, and Leidenfrost rewet point temperatures. Additionally, detailed discussion is given on the film boiling heat transfer and rewet temperature in terms of various contributing factors such as gravitational acceleration, spray mass flux, and radial position on the plate. Based on experimental data, empirical correlations for film boiling heat transfer coefficient and rewet temperatures are provided. We expect that, the current terrestrial study would offer invaluable information for the design of a robust in-space cryogenic propellant storage tank spray chilldown system.
