Heat transfer coefficients for subcooled heptane were measured in two flow geometries for different heat fluxes, flow rates, bulk temperatures, and system pressures. Regimes of convective heat transfer and of nucleate boiling were delineated for a concentric annular test section containing an internally heated rod, and for a resistance-heated coiled wire mounted in crossflow. Second-order effects such as flow direction, hysteresis, and method of pressurization were also investigated.

This research paper reports the study on heat and mass transfer during pool boiling of milk in an aluminum pan under closed conditions. Various indoor experiments were conducted for different heat inputs varying from 240 to 360 W. During heating of milk the evaporated water was condensed at the inner surface of the condensing cover and collected as fresh water. Experimental data were analyzed by using Rohsenow pool boiling correlation with the help of simple linear regression analysis. The convective heat transfer coefficients were estimated in the range of 186.32 to 567.56 W/m2 oC for the heat inputs varying from 240 to 360 W. The nucleate boiling heat flux was observed to increase exponentially with the increase in excess temperature. The experimental errors in terms of percent uncertainty were also evaluated.

In large, subcritical pressure, once-through power boilers heat is transferred to steam and water mixtures ranging in steam quality from zero per cent at the bottom of the furnace to 100 per cent at the top. In order to provide design information for this type of boiler, heat-transfer coefficients for forced convection film boiling were determined for water at 3000 psia flowing upward in a vertical stainless-steel tube, AISI Type 304, having an inside diameter of 0.408 inches and a heated length of 6 feet. Heat fluxes ranged between 90,000 and 180,000 Btu/hr-sq ft and were obtained by electrical resistance heating of the tube. The operation of the experimental equipment was controlled so that nucleate boiling, transition boiling, and stable film boiling occurred simultaneously in different zones of the tube. The film boiling data were correlated with a modified form of the equation Nu = a a(Re)m(Pr)n using steam properties evaluated at inside surface temperature. Results of a second series of heat-transfer tests with tubes having a helical rib on the inside surface showed that nucleate boiling could be maintained to much higher steam qualities with that type of tube than with a smooth-bore tube.
