Pool boiling heat transfer coefficient of pure liquids using dimensional analysis

Abstract

The pool boiling heat transfer coefficient of pure liquids were experimentally measured on a horizontal bar heater at atmospheric pressure. These measurements were conducted for more than three hundred data in thermal currents up to 350 kW.m^-2. Original correlations and the unique effect of these correlations on experimental data were discussed briefly. According to the analysis, a new empirical relationship implying a performance superior to other available correlations is presented.
