Pool Boiling Characteristics Of Water Over A Horizontal Stainless Steel Tube Heater
Abstract
The purpose of this experiment is to study heat transfer characteristics of water through pool boiling over
horizontal stainless steel tube heater from the heat flux 20 kw/m
2
to CHF (critical heat flux) the present experiment data is
compared with that of the existing correlations such us rohsenow, cornwell-houston, zuber’s, kruzhilin, kutateladze and
labuntsov correlation it is found that the experiment data had good aggrement with cornwell-houston, kruzhilin, kutateladze
correlation with an error band of ±15, ±20, ±20 respectively. In order to minimize the error band, the pool boiling
experimental data of water have been analyzed by regression analysis in the general form of heat tranfer coefficient h=aq
b
and the coefficient of equation a= 0.19 and intex of equation b=0.80 were calculated. This correlation found ±7 percent of
error with that of experimental data.
