Film boiling heat transfer from a horizontal surface in low forced convection and saturated conditions under an interfacial instability model

The author examine the film boiling heat transfer enhancement in low forced convection from horizontal surface into the framework of Taylor–Helmholtz Hydrodynamic instabilities. Utilizing a simplified geometrical model, an analytical expression for the heat transfer coefficient was derived. The above equation agree with the available experimental measurements made on R113 within ±15 percent.
