Abstract

An additive mechanism of micro- and macroconvective heat transfer was formulated to represent boiling heat transfer with net vapor generation to saturated, nonmetallic fluids in convective flow. Interaction of the two mechanisms was taken into account by means of two dimensionless functions: an effective two-phase Reynolds number function, F, and a bubble-growth suppression function, S. F was obtained as a function of the Martinelli parameter by both empirical correlation of heat transfer data and a momentum-analogy analysis. S was obtained as an empirical function of the two-phase Reynolds number. The correlation was tested with available data for water and organic fluids. The average deviation between calculated and measured boiling coefficients for all (over 600) data points from ten experimental cases was 12%.
