Abstract

A new general correlation for forced convection boiling has been developed with the aid of a large data bank. This data bank consists of over 4300 data points for water, refrigerants and ethylene glycol, covering seven fluids and 28 authors, mostly for saturated boiling in vertical and horizontal tubes, but with significant information also for subcooled boiling and for annuli. The new correlation is simpler to apply and overall gives a closer fit to the data than existing correlations. The mean deviation between the calculated and measured boiling heat transfer coefficient is 21.4% for saturated boiling and 25.0% for subcooled boiling.
