Six of the most verified correlations for boiling heat transfer were compared to data for horizontal and vertical tubes and annuli. The correlations evaluated were: Chen (1966), Shah (1982), Gungor and Winterton (1986), Liu & Winterton (1991), Kandlikar (1990), and Steiner and Taborek (1992). The database used to evaluate these correlations included 29 fluids: water, refrigerants, cryogens, organic and inorganic chemicals. The data cover reduced pressures from 0.005 to 0.783, mass flux from 28 to 11071 kg/m2s, vapor quality from 0 to 0.95, and boiling number from 0.000026 to 0.00742. The correlations of Shah and Gungor & Winterton gave the best agreement with data with a mean deviation of about 17.5%, only a couple of data sets showing large deviations. The paper presents and discusses the results of this study. Included are tables giving the range of dimensional and non-dimensional parameters covered by each experimental study.

A simple correlation was developed earlier by Kandlikar (1983) for predicting saturated flow boiling heat transfer coefficients inside horizontal and vertical tubes. It was based on a model utilizing the contributions due to nucleate boiling and convective mechanisms. It incorporated a fluid-dependent parameter Ffl in the nucleate boiling term. The predictive ability of the correlation for different refrigerants was confirmed by comparing it with the recent data on R-113 by Jensen and Bensler (1986) and Khanpara et al. (1986). In the present work, the earlier correlation is further refined by expanding the data base to 5246 data points from 24 experimental investigations with ten fluids. The proposed correlation, equations (4) and (5), along with the constants given in Tables 3 and 4, gives a mean deviation of 15.9 percent with water data, and 18.8 percent with all refrigerant data, and it also predicts the correct hTP versus x trend as verified with water and R-113 data. Additional testing with recent R-22 and R-113 data yielded the lowest mean deviations among correlations tested. The proposed correlation can be extended to other fluids by evaluating the fluid-dependent parameter Ffl for that fluid from its flow boiling or pool boiling data.

Test Rig

In this paper, the boiling heat transfer test rig was designed and built, while the characteristics of boiling Heat Transfer of refrigerants in micro-channel was researched. The wall temperature of micro-channel was measured by TH5104 Infrared thermography. The results showed that there were obvious variations for wall temperature of micro-channel along the axial direction when boiling heat transfer occurred in the micro-channel. The temperature distribution affected obviously by the heat flux, mass flow rate; vapor quality and heat transfer model.

The characteristics of film boiling heat transfer from a heated horizontal circular brass plate to a pool of fluorocarbon R-11 are examined for the case in which only the top side of the plate is in contact with the liquid (facing upward) and for the case in which the bottom side of the plate is in contact with the liquid (facing downward). It is found that the film coefficient for the facing downwards orientation of the plate was found to be closely correlated by the following: Nu=0.35(L/CpΔT)Gr0.25·Pr0.25
