▪ Abstract This review examines recent advances made in predicting boiling heat fluxes, including some key results from the past. The topics covered are nucleate boiling, maximum heat flux, transition boiling, and film boiling. The review focuses on pool boiling of pure liquids, but flow boiling is also discussed briefly.

Boiling in microchannels: a review of experiment and theory

A new heat transfer model for intube flow boiling in horizontal plain tubes is proposed that incorporates the effects of local two-phase flow patterns, flow stratification and partial dryout in annular flow. Significantly, the local peak in the heat transfer coefficient versus vapor quality can now be determined from the prediction of the location of onset of partial dryout in annular flow. The new method accurately predicts a large, new database of flow boiling data, and is perticularly better than existing mehods at high vapor qualities (x > 85%) and for stratified types of flows.

In flow boiling, the nucleate and convective components are superimposed by a very complex mechanism, which so far is not well understood Two models exist in present literature, one by Chen [3] (1963), using addition of the two components with a suppression factor; and one by Shah [8] (1976), using the “greater of” the two components with a Bo-number simplified correlation Neither model presents a satisfactory solution, as attested by the numerous methods published since then, mostly based only on regression analysis-derived correction factors In this article a new model, based on asymptotic addition of the two boiling components, is introduced It follows the established principles of flow boiling and converges correctly to the extremes of all parameters Tested on the University of Karlsruhe data bank containing over 13,000 data points in vertical flow boiling, results superior to previous correlations are demonstrated
