Abstract

A nucleate boiling limitation model which is applicable to the heat transfer prediction in the nucleate boiling region and the CHF was proposed for a pool boiling. The present model was developed based on the direct observations of the physical boiling phenomena. The predicted boiling curves for the nucleate boiling region agree well with both the vertical and the horizontal surface data for all the contact angles. The predicted CHF for the vertical surface also agrees well with the experimental data, but the present model underpredicts the CHF by about 30% for the horizontal surface data.
